NO,
it’s never safe to drink alcohol while on lorazepam.

Using Lorazepam together with ethanol can
increase nervous system side effects, including dizziness, drowsiness, and
difficulty concentrating. Some users have also reported impairment in thinking
and judgment. Alcohol consumption must be reduced to a bare minimum, if not all
in all avoided while on Lorazepam treatment.

Lorazepam is an
anti-anxiety medication (anxiolytic) treat mood disorders.  The duration
of action of thus drug is roughly 6-8 hours, although some therapeutic uses
have been known to last for up to 72 hours.  Lorazepam can clear up from
the body within a few days, or weeks, or months, depending on your individual
timeline and pattern of use.

Due to its euphoric high
effect, some people are under the false notion that mixing lorazepam with
alcohol would intensify the effects of the drug. Self-reports of combining the
two include the following effects:

·        
impaired coordination

·        
irritability

·        
loss of inhibitions

·        
memory loss and amnesia

·        
suicidal and self-harming behaviors

However, the fact is
that this combination of alcohol and lorazepam so profoundly impacts memory and
behavior that it makes mixing lorazepam with alcohol extremely dangerous.

Dangerous side effects can occur when lorazepam is mixed with
alcohol, mainly because mixing alcohol and lorazepam can enhance the depressant
effects of both alcohol and lorazepam on the central nervous system. Some
potentially dangerous effects of mixing Lorazepam with alcohol include:

·        
dizziness

·        
drowsiness

·        
impaired coordination

·        
increased risk of overdose

·        
loss of consciousness

·        
shallow breathing

Also remember that the lorazepam enhances the effects of the
alcohol as much as the alcohol intensifies the effects of the lorazepam. Alcohol
makes you sleepy, drowsy, and lightheaded. Drinking alcohol while concomitantly
0using lorazepam can impair the ability to concentrate, cause difficulty with
coordination and a slowed reaction time. This can very easily lead to
accidents. Even more dangerous is the ability of lorazepam actually to make you
become more intoxicated from alcohol than normal, so it becomes difficult to
estimate how much you can drink safely without experiencing alcohol poisoning.

The likelihood of overdosing on lorazepam becomes appreciably
higher if you take it with alcohol. Even if you have a high tolerance for
lorazepam, it will be lowered by the additive effects of both drugs. NEVER mix
lorazepam with alcohol, even more so, avoid taking them within a few hours of
each other just to be safe.

Serious events resulting from mixing lorazepam with alcohol
include a lower heart rate, among others. Abuse of lorazepam by taking a higher
than prescribed dose, or drinking to excess may be lethal.
