Brief Answer:
You can take xanax now.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
You had really consumed a large amount of alcohol and as you know alcohol is not allowed to be consumed while on xanax.
You can occasionally have a drink or a glass of wine but not such amount of alcohol.
Now you can have the xanax tablet because you need it and you have been taking it for a long time.
Now most of alcohol is out of your system. You have to take care next time because you have to limit alcohol intake while on xanax.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Brief Answer:
You may be without alcohol in 5 hours.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and thank you for asking again.
It is somehow true that it may take an hour to eleminate a standard drink but it varies greatly depending on the conditions of the body, liver health, kind of drink you are having.
Your blood will clear the alcohol drink about 20 mg /dl. So you may be clear in about 5 hours after the last drink.

I really don’t understand. Can you explain this like you are talking to a child. Basically, on average, is alcohol eliminated at a rate of 1 drink per hour. More, less? 20mg/dL without a reference point is not information I understand. It’s like saying how fast are you walking and reply 6. 6 what? Miles per hour, kilometers per hour, steps per minute? Thank you in advance.

Brief Answer:
Approximately a drink per hour.
Detailed Answer:
OK trying to make it simple I was explaining that alcohol is cleared from blood with a speed of 20mg/dl per hour.
But it is a bit difficult for you to calculate it.
So it can be said that alcohol is cleared by one drink per hour.
So as a conclusion you are clear from alcohol now and can take your xanax tablet.
Approximately a drink per hour.
