No danger in taking alcohol if you stop lexapro

Hi XXXX
Thanks for writing in to us.
It is fine if you skip taking Lexapro on that day and then take alcohol. You may resume your Lexapro the next day. Please ensure that you drink within limits.
You will not be in danger as long you stop drinking when you feel uncomfortable.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.

In your situation not taking lexapro on the day you drink will not have an adverse effect on you. Alcohol drinking must be done responsibly. Getting real drunk may have its effects as in any person taking large amounts of alcohol.
