Alprazolam, a benzodiazepine drug, and alcohol are not a good mix so you should avoid alcohol when taking this drug, although there is not an absolute contraindication.

Both alprazolam and alcohol are sedating drugs. The half life of alprazolam is 12 hrs, which means your body clears half the drug every 12 hours, since you want to have a drink 8 hours later it is not a good idea to have any form of alcohol since there is still alprazolam in your body.
