Risky business: Theoretically, the half-life of Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is 8 hours. But you took. A whopping dose, a real benadryl-alcohol mickey finn. That can lead to dizziness, drowsiness ; potential overdose. Don't drive till you're sure you're alert. Btw, i hope you don't choose to do this to yourself again. Drugs ; drinking don't mix.
