I drink daily. sometimes a glass or two of wine...occasionally i binge on rum. i take 2 mg alprazolam (xanax) for 10 years. last week er for abd pain.

Not a good idea.: I highly recommend limiting alcohol intake. Co-administration of benzodiazepines with alcohol intake can cause very serious problems. Such as sedation, somnolence, even apnea. Your prescriber should be made aware of this, and non-sedating medications should be used. For abdominal pain specifically, it could be due to reflux, ulcer, pancreatic pathology or other causes of abdominal pain. -GL
