A member asked:

I have drank beer 8 hours after taking between .5 and 2 mg of xanax, (alprazolam) is this safe? i recently have developed a vision problem in my right eye

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I would avoid: It is best to avoid mixing alcohol with any drugs, especially xanax (alprazolam). The vision problem in your right eye should be checked by your eye doctor.
