A member asked:

I took a .5 mg ativan (lorazepam) last night (about 18 hours ago) is it safe to drink a few alcoholic beverages? or will i die?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No problem: The Ativan (lorazepam) has a relatively short duration of action, and by now should mostly be "out of your system".
