Alcohol and Benadryl (diphenhydramine): Your Health is Precious! Let the wise man within you ask: What made you start drinking beer in the daytime and continued through the day?; was it to cope with unpleasant feelings-worries, fears, sadness, hurt, shame, guilt, resentment, frustration, loneliness or boredom? After taking Benadryl, (diphenhydramine) are you feeling dizzy, confused, and have impaired motor skills? For these symptoms, see Psychiatrist

Should be fine: Always be careful when mixing alcohol and sedative antihistamines like Benadryl (diphenhydramine). Definitely never plan on operating motor vehicle after drinking. Adding Benadryl (diphenhydramine) to the mix can cause impairment to acutely worsen. That being said you should be fine given time course you describe so not to worry.
