Combinations - Drinking every day: OK to use Alprazolam as well?

[bosch man]

Hi,i can see that there are people with experience,but i require more "technical" help.I wont bore you too much,but i suffer from chronic anxiety,almost crippled by it,i have done every treatment over the 18 years i have had it but the only thing that me and my doc found to work was alcohol.Now i only drink at night never during the day upto 12 units!Now i get temp releif which is most important before you all say alcohol is bad..lol.Now gradually i have been getting worse during the day and previously i said NO to any medication,until now,my doc will give anything i ask for if he feels it could benefit (trouble is i have a phobia of getting an alergic reaction to any drug)......Now i did research and found xanax to be good for my kind of illness,relatively safe too,BUT i want my alcohol at night as that is my ok time,he says xanax is far safer than my alcohol intake!......So can anyone on here tell me if i took .25 xanax in the morning,just one, and then had a few drinks from 8pm that night am i at risk as i note the half life of xanax is quite short,or has there got to be a 24hr non alcohol rule?I always assumed that it was only dangerous to take at the same time or within a certain time frame to risk death.Please dont judge my drinking habits,life for me is tough,you do whatever to get thru it and to be fair my intake isnt THAT bad....i just want daytime releif but wont go alcohol.I have tried xanax its ok although i have only taken half a .25 and i wont get addicted due to not doing it everyday plus i am not seeking any euphoria just releief and apparently people only up the dose because they feel it stopped working,but for anxiety its will always work even if you dont feel any different.

Thanks
