Hello,
a regular user of benzodiazepines and alcohol would probably handle the increased dosage. Despite that, caution is required and concurrent alcohol consumption is discouraged because you may experience increased central nervous system side effects which may cause accidents and other untoward events.
I hope I've answered your question. Please let me know if you need further assistance.
Kind Regards,
