Are you kidding me? I was being completely serious here!
Taking alcohol with a benzodiazapine is marginally dangerous if it is done the right way around. Suppose you take an initial dose of ativan (0.25-0.5mg) before entering the plane. This is only going to produce marginal sedation. After waiting 30-60 min, I would consider it completely safe to start sipping some red wine if you are still on edge.
You're really just concerned about additive sedation, this only happens when you start drinking and downing pills at a rate at which your brain cannot adjust and gague the level of sedation.
A 8oz glass of red wine approx = 0.5 mg of ativan. So whats the difference between taking 0.5 ativan + red wine vs. 1mg of ativan?
