Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.

Mixing Klonopin 1.5mg with 2 12 ounce beers will not result in death. At worst, it may cause you to be sedated and sleep longer than usual. But it will not result in any serious bodily harm. In the future, avoid combining Klonopin with alcohol.
