Brief Answer:
yes you can take, do not drive as sedation will be there

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

Thanks for writing to us. I can understand your concern.

There is no drug interaction between motrin and alcohol. You can take it safely.

Benadryl itself is sedative. With alcohol there may be more sedation, otherwise no significant interactions between two. Do not drive and work with machines for at least 8 hours .

Lexapro and buspin have been taken before hours so not an issue with them.

Hope I have answered your query, I will be happy to help further.
Regards,
Dr.Chintan Solanki.
