Hi, I understand your query. Xanax is basically Alprazolam used as an anxiolytic drug. In case alcohol & xanax are taken at a time, the effects of alcohol gets exaggerated, may lead to extreme psychological turmoil, to the extent of life threatening results. So please don't take alcohol when you are under effect of Xanax. Thanks.
