When taking ativan (lorazepam) .75mg, prn, how long after the ativan (lorazepam) should one wait to drink moderately (1-2 glasses of wine)? 12 hours? 24 hours? 48 hours?

75 hours: Half life of ativan (lorazepam) is about 15 hours. Normally need 5 half lives to clear 95% of drug from system, so about 75 hours. DO NOT MIX THIS WITH ALCOHOL!!! Can be fatal. Dr R
