Is it safe to take Xanax then drink alcohol?

c_Tarissa asked:


I have a fear of flying and was prescribed alprazolam but I am thinking I might like to have a drink once I get to the airport or on the plane also. I am flying from Japan to California and I want to stay as relaxed as possible. I usually take something to help me sleep but my gp said I couldn’t take the Xanax and a sleeping aid.

    No–you will be oversedated as the alcohol will potentiate the xanax. It will make the effects stronger.

    Xanax is a very strong drug.

    NO! NO! NO! It can make you have black outs and act crazy like that woman who was killed when Air port security pinned her to the floor and hand cuffed her. One or the other NEVER BOTH!
