Very dangerous: Absolutely not. Combining benzodiazepines with alcohol can cause respiratory depression and death.

How lucky are you : Feeling? The alcohol will potentiate the sedating effect of your meds, to the point that it could slow -or stop- your breathing, depending on how much underage drinking you really end up doing. Alcohol also makes depression worse. You decide if it's worth the risk of medical or psychiatric hospitalization or death. I don't think it is. Please talk to your psychiatrist about this.

No: There is no way you should do this! this is a very bad idea. And you should not drive a car either. Alcohol will potentiate the action of the clonazepam. You will be more susceptible to the effects of the alcohol. So again, the answer is no!
