Brief Answer:
If you take Xanax 4-5 hours after alcohol the interactions would be minimal
Detailed Answer:
Hi again dear,
Alcohol needs at least 24 hours to go away from the system.
This period of time depends on many factors such as the liver function or age.
In this case you may avoid interactions between alcohol and Xanax.
Anyway, even if you take Xanax 4-5 hours after alcohol the interactions would be minimal.
Hope it helps.
