ITS NOT OK TO DRINK AFTER TAKING A DRUG.
Xanax can produce relatively long psychomotor impairment, impaired information processing and memory, and has effects similar to alcohol. The combination of alcohol with alprazolam (xanax) is stabilizer. meaning the effects combine to be greater than either one alone (1+1=2). Since Xanax has a partially life of 10-15 hours, it will still be present in significant contrations 3-4 hours after last use. It is unlikely that you will die if you append alcohol, but I would strongly discourage drinking alcohol until tomorrow. If you MUST drink, limit it to ONE beer and distribute your drinking over 40-60 minutes. Finally, although alcohol has some anxiety reducing effects in some citizens and in low doses, it is not effective for long term use and have other medical consequences. If you have a panic attack, it is unlikely that alcohol will help. In reality, it will probably have the opposite effect over time.
