A member asked:
Four hours after drinking 3 beers [3 standard us alcohol units], i accidentally took 0.5mg of xanax to help me sleep. i woke up fine the next day but is it possible i have sustained brain damage from hypoxia, in my sleep, from this one time event?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Would assess that the beer and Xanax provided no permanent harm or lingering "brain damage".
