It is not advisable to mix alcohol and benzodiapines such as Xanax. You should limit alcohol consumption to no more than two drinks and if you take Xanax within an hour or two of those drinks you should not plan on any activities other than sleeping. Be very careful as it is a dangerous combination.
Hello, Rathmullan is right, you should not combine Xanax andalcohol. My doctor once told me, that after six hours I could have a small glass of wine!
Take care and be careful
one drink will stay in your system for one hour. That means that if you finish a drink at 6:00, you will generally be in the clear by 7:00.
