Time out!: The issue isn't the drinking and the clonazapam. The issue is that your anxiety requires more than the Clonazepam to help you manage it. It also helps to learn anxiety coping skills from a qualified professional. As far as drinking and taking the dosage tonight, 4-6 hours after last drink should be fine . Check with your pharmacist if you want a direct answer.

Be sober: Because Klonopin (clonazepam) has a very long elimination half-life, you still had Klonopin (clonazepam) in you today when you drank alcohol. Wait until you are sober from your drinking before you take more klonopin, (clonazepam) and please don't combine them anymore.
