Heading: Drug/Alcohol Interaction

Text: Rutledge contends that it was error for the district court to allow NCL to question Rutledge about the interaction between her prescription medications and the alcohol she admitted she had consumed. However, Rutledge provides no citations nor arguments as to why this was error. There is only a brief summary of Rutledge’s testimony, then a bald conclusion that “[a]llowing these repeated references to drug-alcohol interaction, with no scientific support, was highly prejudicial and an abuse of discretion.” This issue is waived. See N.L.R.B. v. McClain of Georgia, Inc., 138 F.3d 1418, 1422 (11th Cir. 1998) (“Issues raised in a perfunctory manner, without supporting arguments and citation to authorities, 10 are generally deemed to be waived.”).4
