How Soon After Taking The Xanax Would It Be Safe To Enjoy A Beer?

i take .25 mg Xanax VERY occasionally (maybe once every couple of months for panic attacks). I am 41, weigh around 220, am 5'6", and typically drink 3 beers (Miller Lite) each evening. How soon after taking the Xanax would it be safe to enjoy a beer or two?

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

Xanas consists of clonazepam and half life of clonazepam is around 8 to 12 hours. Mean time, if you take alcohol, it would increase the sedative and depressive effect of drugs. Better to avoid either of them. Combination could harm you. When ever you take, xanas, better to avoid beer on that day.

Thanks
