It's interesting that benzos are used to stop alcohol withdrawals.

>conversely, if you were on 6mg per day of Xanax, its likely that a glass of wine wouldnt get you tipsy, where as somebody who never drank or took benzos might get a buzz from it


If that's true, then why are people who take benzos so often told not to drink alcohol, due to the risk of synergistic effects and fatal CNS depression (or at least extreme intoxication, car accidents etc.)? If taking benzos really raises your alcohol tolerance and vice versa, then it would seem benzo users would be less, not more, intoxicated by alcohol, as you say.
