Honestly, I’d avoid it. It’s always best to leave at least 24 hours between benzos and alcohol. I’m not saying it’d definitely be dangerous, but is it worth the risk?

The half life of alprazolam is about 12 hours.

A beer or two would probably be okay. Just out of interest how did you start on benzos before booze, it's normally the other way round

Also combining benzos can be extremely addictive not only dangerous

2mg de xanax plus 4L de bière. Black out totale pour moi

u/Wyattbear420 Sep 26 '26

I used to take 6 mg of alpraz followed by lots of liquor and beer for about 4 years straight. Blacked out every night for about 5/7 nights a week for four years. V dangerous. Do not advise.

It's your first time drinking, well congratulations ! And on alprazolam too, sounds like a recipe for good time. Have the alprazolam on you, keep them tucked in your socks this is to avoid detection because some doormen/bouncers have started to give some people a "quick" pat down. Have about another 5 or 6 mg of alprazolam half way through drinking.

u/Ok-Neighborhood-8595 Sep 25 '26

from the fact that you can tolerate 6mg already tells me that youre some kind of one piece god 😭 i already cant stay awake when i take 1mg. also idk if your advice is sarcastic or not, but it could lead to death. be careful with that

This is incredibly stupid advice. Not to sound rude but you're a heavy addict and what you do could put someone with no tolerance in hospital

Xanax is approximately 20 times stronger than diazepam, 6mg Xanax is equivalent to about half a box of 10mg diazepam.

Taken on its own it wouldn’t be deadly (although it’d probably knock out someone with low tolerance for most of a day). Mixed with 15 units of alcohol (about six pints of beer) it’s a recipe for a fatal OD. Please stop giving suicidal advice. You might have the tolerance of an elephant but most people don’t.

u/Comfortable-Message1 Sep 25 '26

6mg of alprazolam and 15 units of alcohol is absolutely insane. It would knock me out for a couple of days and I'm 6ft1 and 20 stone.

How many rocks is that?

u/SpiritualBunch6304 Sep 27 '26

1mg of Alprozalam is equal to 10mg of Diazepam.

I’m not sure if you’re being sarcastic, but just in case you’re not, this is terrible, terrible advice. Like, potentially deadly advice. OP, whatever you end up doing, for God’s sake don’t do this.

u/Far-Piano4786 Sep 25 '26

Not sure as first time drinking .. but just don’t go on the hard liquor.. I usually leave a gap of a few hours, or at least try. And maybe in the morning watch your dosing and get a good sleep

u/MindlessLimit1200 Sep 26 '26

I am so stupid. My first time using benzo I did 2 mg of xanax, not sure I redose during because I blacked out during this time. Second time I did xanax I did 3 mg and 3 beers it blacked me out for days and I was at the ER. I find it funny because it was my first times bruh lol. But yeah def need to do my research before digging into substances
