Al,
Thanks for contacting us. First you need to talk to your doctor about XANAX. What are the side effects, proper dosages and what can be mixed? This will give you a better idea about the medication you are taking. A well informed mind makes well informed descions.
From http://www.drugs.com/xanax.html, it indicates to "Avoid alcohol while taking Xanax. Alcohol may increase drowsiness and dizziness caused by Xanax."
Again please check with your doctor, every individual is different.
Hope this helps,
Josie
