A member asked:

Is it okay to be drinking one beer on xanax (alprazolam)?

Dr. Aron Tendler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Not Advisable: It is hard to predict how you will react, and the xanax (alprazolam) effects can be compounded by the alcohol. You can be suddenly very sedated or cognitively impaired (or your movements very uncoordinated resulting in a fall.).

Dr Jacobson and another doctor agreed

Dear Doctor, I usually take 1mg of Xanax maybe 2-3X's per week for extreme anxiety when it happens. I don't take it for no reason. I took 1mg earlier today at 10:30am PST. If I wait (6) hours can I drink a 6pk or so of beer? I am 6' 2" and 360lb
