Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries
Alcohol should be avoided while on antidepressants. Your last intake was last night and alcohol absorption occurs rapidly with in hours, and it has been metabolised already, so no need to worry. You will not die just remain relaxed. Avoid heavy alcohol intake in future. No need to fear from going to sleep.
Thanks. Take care
