I absolutely cannot drink on effexor xr. It takes my body 2 days to get over 3 drinks. I black out, too. The worst effect, I believe, is that it's extremely hard on your liver. If you intend to drink to self medicate for anxiety (which is not a good idea anyway), have your doctor keep an eye on your liver function. You'd be better off taking an anti-anxiety med. I take .5mg xanax as needed, and as the effxor became more effective, my need for the xanax has reduced.

Good luck!
