You forgot "sextasy", the mix of ecstasy and viagra 
I'd say it is a pretty good bet that mixing your drugs isn't "safe" at all. The effect is called "drug synergy". Basically if drug A has an effect, and drug B has the same effect, taking them together results in a stronger reaction than the combined effects that each would have on its own, plus all sorts of fun side effects no one ever predicted (like screaming "Giant hairy purple spiders!" and falling over dead).
I wouldn't try it.
Then again there isn't anything there I'd take all on its own either (OK, alcohol).

Alcohol tends to make blood flow AWAY from the "extremities". You take viagra to make blood flow TO the extremities. So, alcohol would counteract the effects of viagra.
As far as alcohol adding to the slight "buzz" and sleepiness I get from taking viagra, I don't know.

Grapefruit juice
Cancels the effect somewhat, but don't think it's considered dangerous.eldoguy said:
I will never mix any drug with alcohol again.
A few weeks ago I took an anti anxiety drug, went out to dinner and had only 1 beer. I was frigging trashed. It felt like I had 16 beers, honest to god!!! Puking, passing out, world spinning, it was awful.
The funny thing is, if I take one of those pills on it's own, it really has no effect on me whatsoever except controlling anxiety.

Any anti-anxiety pill such as Ativan or Lorazapam mixed with alcohol can cause you to get anti-grade amnesia where you wind up losing your memory for a short time. I'm ashamed to admit this but this has happened to me before .
IMHO, never mix alcohol with any sort of prescription medication. You are just asking for trouble. As a1 player correctly stated; you don't need to take very many of these pills to still cause a bad effect!

Viagra and Alcohol tend to work against each other, so although it may not be dangerous in moderation, you may not get the results you want.
Reminds me of that Steven Wright joke: just for fun, put a humidifier and a dehumidifier in a room and watch them fight it out.
