Alcohol/Xanax

Drinking on Xanax will most likely black you out if you drink more than a few drinks, provided you don't have a tolerance to Xanax/other benzos and/or alcohol...

It's okay to drink in moderation on benzos, but there's a fine line between having a good buzz and the combination erasing your short-term memory.

There is also the danger of blacking out and doing really stupid/reckless stuff while on the combination...
 
It is very hard to drink lightly on it, mostly because the xanax makes you think that you are fine, and able to drink more.

1 mg will potentiate the affects of light drinking. It isn't dangerous in a sense of overdose, but is more dangerous due to your possible actions after consuming the combo.
 
Completely agree with what ^ and ^^ have both said. The blackout is what's dangerous. Be safe.
 
My friend came back home from a heavy night of drinking, then decides to take a couple (maybe even four) pills of klonopin. He ended up trying to choke his girlfriend out, the roommates next door had to come in and save her, they pulled him out of his room butt naked and had to sit him down in the living room. My friend looked to be in a complete state of confusion.

The next day they had to tell him what happened.

Be careful.... :)
 
The danger is that this combo has a tendency to affect your reasoning and ability to make good decisions.

You may believe (now, while you're sober) that you'll be able to stop drinking after 1 or 2 Xanax and a few drinks. But once your inhibitions come down and your buzz goes up, you may decide to do more without realizing how much it's affecting you. Then come the blackouts, , the DUIs, the nights in jail and the regrets.

Be careful with this combo. It sneaks up on you.
 
The thing about xanax is that its almost too effective. One time I was on 3mg mail order alprazolams and they weren't as good in quality. My friend is prescribed them all the time from a real doc, but he reaches out to websites to get some more. We were both at a restaruant and I was barred the fuck out of my mind. I just sit down at my table and spill my soda all over the surface. A cute girl comes and cleans it up and I say sorry. I ask her for a pen and write on the survey card that I was fucked up and I"m sorry but checked 5/5 of service and I opted to enter the mailing list :) The girl who sat us down at a table was asking how I was doing so I struck up some decent small talk conversation with her and I knew its the xanax talking (I was on ritalin earlier that day). On our way out I tried to tell her that on my 21st birthday I got fucking shit faced till my brother and his friends had to drag me out of that same restaurant (true story). But I mumbled it so badly that she probably didn't know wtf I was saying or care. You don't even realize how bad the xanax itself is fucking up your speech. I can slurr reallllly badly and I got caught once.

You can go off doing some really stupid shit if you did enough. Always try to use it to come down with at the end of the night!!!

I have never taken xanax with alcohol directly at the same time. If I did, I would probably try to murder someone and clean up the scene. However on New Year's I had like 2 beers, cause I still had to drive somewhere else. 5 hours later I pop 3mg xanax and drive home at like 7am. I know my car's rear tires are old and bald, (BUT ITS IN STICK SHIFT SO I GOT THIS 8) ) so I downshift and go around a highway ramp turn clover entrance at full speed, when the turn got sharp I just kept turning the wheel and didn't let off the gas. The back bald tires lost grip, and the car went sideways. I wasn't even that scared, yet tires were screeching and I lost control of the car completely. I ended up smashing the front end against a SNOW BANK.... OF ALL SEASONS its WINTER!!! so then the car continued its 360 till the back of the car smashed the guard rail but the snow bank cushioned everything. There was no damage to the car except for a dented license plate. I just stopped, pushed the clutch down and started the car again, and went back home but I even took the time to stop by a convenience store to get munchies LOL. I got so FUCKING LUCKY that they had plowed the snow along the highway entrance ramp and it was relatively soft, not hard like ice. It was the early morning of New Year's day, I had weed in the car and if I broke the car down, the cops probably would have come and did some sobriety tests since it was so close to New Years'.

I don't need alcohol with xanax man... I'll say some rude stuff maybe... or get in a fight... your fear instincts are turned off completely and you cannot rationalize certain situations. Xanax, in high doses reminds me of my early teenage years of drinking alcohol, all inexperienced and doing some REALLY stupid shit. I am trying to avoid doing 3mg doses... this was mail order shit made in India. Its xanax alright, but its not as pure as my friend's script, and it still fucked me up good. You can drink lightly I guess... I am sure you are a bit more responsible than I am. But it can change your mind quick once it all sets in. You could grab another bottle, pop another cause its just such a great night man.... conversely, it could end up for the better for you. You could end up at home having a threesome or some shit. Pop enough and the sky's the limit LOL :)

Oh to answer YOUR question... sorry... 1mg and only 1mg with light drinking should be fun and interesting. But like I said, if you break the rule of bringing more w/ you... you could end up in deep shit.

Ostensibly 1 mg taken with a drink or 2 shouldn't be that dangerous, but I'd suggest only having that at hand. Xanax makes you forget yourself and used in conjunction with alcohol the results are often a catastrophic super black out, even if you have plenty of experience with both. If you're lucky you might just go to sleep for 10 hours.
 
I suffer from pretty bad blackouts with alcohol anyway, but I mixed a bottle of wine with a couple of low-dose xanax at the weekend.

I had a total blackout lasting about 7 hours. Apparently I had a big fight with my ex-wife and my daughter and can't remember any of it. No idea how I got home or what the hell else I did.

Never again. Weird combination.
 
I haven't had time to read all of the previous posts. From my experience though, Xanax, and by far, has the worst blackout potential when mixed with alcohol of all Benzo's. With my tolerence, I can drop 3-5mg of Xanax and still drink fairly heavily, and resist a complete blackout. But when I first started abusing it with alcohol, I did a LOT of stupid things. Be careful, it creeps up on you and is not actually that noticeable until other people remind you how unlike yourself you are being. You usually wont find out how effective it was until someone tells you the next day. Amnesia is very common. But in small doses, like a few beers, a few Xanax, a cone or two - it's bliss.
 
Indeed.

mixing benzos and alcohol is asking for a blackout, there are many threads about this floating around Bluelight. Please be careful when mixing alcohol and Xanax. Closed.
