Dr. Hiep Le answered

Specializes in Nephrology and Dialysis

With immediate-release oral tablet, ativan level becomes insignificant after 48 -72 hours so interaction with alcohol after that duration is negligible. However, as a doctor I am more concerned about the risk of alcoholism based on your question. Take care.
