Xanax isnt a recreational drug.....and it is a bad drug actually, except for WHEN NEEDED aka SEVERE PANIC ATTACKS.
I take 6mg and it does nothing to me. On a horrible day, I've taken up to 12 mg, and then I went out drinking and spent $112 at the bar, and I was normal drunk. No blacking out.
I understand there is a big difference between having a (huge) tolerance, and not, but even when I didn't back when I started taking them (one of the worst decisions I have ever made), popping a 2mg Upjohn bar was not "recreational." Unless you consider recreational to be not stressed or anxious and just content with what's going on at the moment.
DO other drugs, save the Benzos for come-downs or to sleep.... if you are gona use them like that.
