Ask your doc: Questions about your medication are best answered by your doc or pharmacist as they would know any other meds or your medical history. The danger in combining alcohol and benzodiazapines or narcotics is that the effects are synergistic and can result in respiratory arrest. That said, one 6 oz glass of wine in a healthy adult should clear your system in an hour or 2. Benzos take much longer.
