Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.

You are very, very unlikely to die from using Klonopin 1mg with 3 or 4 beers. However, you may experience the effects of the alcohol much more strongly. You can expect heavy sedation and a worse hangover. But risk of death is extraordinarily low.
