Drinking and anxiety: Mixing alcohol and anxiety medications is generally not a good idea for reasons too numerous to document here. Generally speaking, alcohol can reek havoc on the medication dosage and impact. If you decide that you can't give up the alcohol, you might want to seek alternative stress management solutions such as behavioral therapy, exercise, yoga, tai chi
