A member asked:

If half-life of flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl) is 18 hrs, is it ok to drink alcohol after that long? also, i am a rapid acetylator.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably NO, as the: Drug is still in your body as only 1/2 of the drug is out of your system in 18 hrs. Such drugs and alcohol generally do not mix very well.
