Brief Answer:
It is not safe and please avoid repeating in life

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concern.

The alcohol and xanax both are CNS depressants and never advised to be taken together due to obvious risk.

The dose you took is in safe limits, I assume so because you are still able to post query but in my view you need to be extra careful in future not to repeat it again.

After a certain limit we all have tendency to pop more pills and and more drinks resulting in intoxication and ultimately death.

Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
If not, you may close the discussion and if possible you may rate the answer for me, so that I get a good feedback.
Thanks and regards
