How Long Should I Wait For Taking Alcohol After Taking Lorazepam Tablet?

Hi I was prescribed lorazepam for my upcoming flight to Mexico, we will be flying out at 9:30am arriving at noon in Mexico and we will be staying at an all inclusive resort. Should I wait until the next day to have an alcoholic drink or can I just wait a certain number of hours? Thank you!

You can wait for 6 hours after taking lorazepam for consumption of alcohol,because it works in body for 4-6 hours and is rapidly excreted from body.
Thanks
