Specializes in Addiction Medicine

Not a good idea: I would not advise alcohol use by anyone being prescribed clonazepam. After 24 hours the clonazepam is pretty well out of the system but if one needed to take a clonazepam within the last 24 hours for whatever reason probably best not to be drinking.
