Is Alcohol Safe While On Valium?
Question: I took 4mg of valium on Wednesday and 6mg on Thursday it is now 24 hours after the last 2mgs, Is it safe to have an alcohol drink tonight? All doses were 2mg at a time at 6hr intervals
Brief Answer:
Consultation
Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.
Yes, it is safe to drink alcohol now. The Valium should be mostly out of your system after 24 hours. It is possible you could still have some tail-end effects, such as increased sedation and becoming intoxicated more quickly, but this would be unlikely. You should be safe. No worries!
