> 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.
