No: Not a good idea at all because both xanax (alprazolam) and alcohol are central nervous system depressants.Be good.

Deadly cocktail: Either one. Cannot have alcohol with benzodiazepines. Would suggest having just the small glass of wine. Cheers!

Potentiation by etoh: It is not wise to take alcoholic beverage with that dose of xanax (alprazolam). That is a relatively high dose, and the alcohol will potentiate its effects. Alcohol and xanax (alprazolam) do not mix well.
