Hello,

Welcome to Health Care Magic.

Thanks for writing.

I am Dr.Saddiq ul Abidin. I have read you question completely, i understand your concern and will try to help you in best way possible.

Alcohol and xanax have no good interactions my friend. The reason you're taking Xanax will lose its effects if you continue it with Alcohol.
Wine if taken with Xanax wi)) worsen the nervous system effects like dizziness,drowsiness and difficulty concentrating. You may also experience impairment in thinking and judgement. So I would suggest you to avoid wine as much as possible plus use xanax with caution. Don't take it in excess. Stay healthy !
