I take xanax (alprazolam) .5mg once in a blue moon but i had one today and i need to know if after 7 hrs of taking it is it ok to have alcoholic drinks.

Not ideal: Xanax (alprazolam) is relatively short acting. You should try not to mix it at all with alcohol but seven hours should be sufficient to lower your levels to safe levels.
