Depends: You don't list Alprazolam (xanax) on your meds, so i will assume you are taking someone else's, which isn't safe. Most of the time when i hear a beer or two, what is meant is five or six. If you have anxiety, alcohol is really not your friend - it is very short-acting and there is a rebound in anxiety after it wears off. Xanax (alprazolam) has very high abuse potential, particularly together with alcohol.

No: Don't mix benzodiazapines and alcohol.
