How long after taking .5 of a 1mg ativan would it be safe to drink alcohol?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should be avoided: Ativan and alcohol are synergistic meaning they will double their effect and cause unwanted side effects and behavior. I'd avoid the combination to get a more consistent effect. Ativan typically lasts 6-8 hrs so after that time frame it would be safe to drink alcohol possibly.
