No problem: You are wise to be concerned about mixing alcohol with lorazepam (Ativan) or other anti-anxiety, sleeping, or sedative drugs. However, it takes a lot of alcohol and/or especially large doses of lorazepam and related drugs (benzodiazepines) to cause serious problems. Two beers, even only a couple hours earlier, would be safe; and by 8 hours, alcohol is pretty much gone from your system.
