Xanax and drinking

[mikemustang15]

Was just curious. If I was out and had a few drinks is it safe to take Xanax before bed?

I'm not talking about getting hammered. But just had a few drinks. And still stressed and want a good nights sleep.

No. Why do you wanna take it before bed? Are you RX'd it?

Don't you think the drinks will give you a good night's sleep? If you insist please take a very small dose. 0.5mg or less.

Dumb man. If you really want sleep take the xanax. Alcohol will likely make you blackout and you could do stupid shit with the mix

Was just curious if I was out at a party had a few beers 2-3 if I could still take .25 if needed.

if you never mixed them before tread lightly
i myself had a thread open the other day about mixing xannies and beer
i took .125mg half of .25mg yeah i know.. i let a few hrs pass and i got hammered after 2 beers
moral of the story if you are gonna mix them in your case drink a few beers dont over do it then wait an hr or 2 in general it takes about an hr to for your body to break down 1 beer and take .25mg and see how you do
but in all honesty just drink a few more beers and dont take xanax at all beer relaxes you just as good
hard to tell anyones tolerance but you are gambling... 1 of 2 things can happen when you mix xanax and beer 1. you have a hella good nights sleep or 2 black out and have a high chance of doing stupid shit waking up trying to remember wtf you did

Drinking increases the Xanax. Taking .25mg and drinking probably is ok if you are prescribed and have a tolerance. Your doctor wouldn't recommend it though.

I enjoy popping a benzo to top off a few drinks, personally. It's a nice, smooth, mellow drift into sleep-land, usually without the usual round of nightmares that crops up after just the drinks.

Just be careful. Take half or less of your usual dose, and put the bottle somewhere you're not going to go looking for it after the Xanax kicks in - because you WILL run the risk of blacking out, re-dosing and going through that Xanax like it's the most delicious bag of Skittles in the world.

So have a couple of drinks, pop half a Xanax, hide your bottle and your keys, lock the doors, and enjoy.
