Best to wait 24 hrs: Not knowing what other medications you take, how much alcohol you consumed, and what other drugs you took, the best course is to be safe and wait 24 hours.

See below: If you are drinking alcohol and were prescribed medication such as xanax, (alprazolam) you should call into your prescribing doctor's office and obtain medical advice. If you think you have a problem with alcohol or you have withdrawal symptoms after you stop drinking, you should seek medical attention promptly at an er or in your doctor's office.
