Alcohol and drugs: Your question indicates that you may be on a dangerous lifestyle course. You should obtain help on the dangers of mixing alcohol and recreational drugs so as to take care of yourself and not fall prey to addiction and disease. Take effort to learn the truth. Your life is at stake.

I took 1mg of clonazepam yesterday (it was a one off, as my doctor prescribed it for anxiety to be used when required). My question is how long until it is safe to consume alcohol? I've tried looking online but got conflicting answers?
