Brief Answer:
As of now nothing to worry about

Detailed Answer:
Hello Ma'am.

I can certainly understand your concern.

I have worked through your query in detail.

As you have taken Xanax and Ambien, the possibility of an alcohol induced withdrawal is far less likely.

Thus there is nothing much to be worried at the moment.

It can take 7 to 10 days for all the alcoholic metabolites to wash out.

Post your further questions if any.
Thank you

so the alcohol is sufficiently out of my system that taking the xanax at 11:00 pm was ok?
