A member asked:

For what length of time do i need to wait after drinking to take hydroxzine?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. John Chiu answered

No need to wait: Hydroxyzine may aggravate the drowsiness induced by alcohol but you can take it if you need it. Just be sure that you are not the pilot in asiana airlines or the forklift operator in building the olympic stadium.
