Booze OR Benzos, not AND. I was taking 0.5mg last time I took a drink with one. Zero to coma. I mostly use them for long flights or high anxiety situations. Probably once a month or less. Not a long term solution and any doc worth his salt should know this. Xanax should always be filled zero refills and at the minimum therapeutic dose.

SIL (no pics) is addicted to Xanax (1mg daily). Last year, and under her doctor’s direction, she started to step down her daily dose and couldn’t handle the withdrawals. Back to her regular dose she’s taking them for life now. Not worth it to her for an inpatient rehab knowing one slip would put her right back where she is.

See, this is the misinformation I was hinting at in my first post here

You either took way more than .5 mg or had way more than one drink

More like, I took a .5mg with my FIRST DRINK. 10 drinks later blackout

Will Xanax get you drunk on less alcohol? Yes. Will it produce a more intoxicated state? Yes. Can high volumes of Xanax and alcohol suppress your respitory system and lead to death? Yes

But low does Xanax and small quantities of alcohol aren’t a genie. It doesn’t just go “poof” blackout
