You shouldn't drink any alcohol at all while taking this drug.
Well in theory you shouldn't drink alcohol with Xanax. Xanax is a "downer" so mixing it with any alcohol makes the effects stronger. So it can potentially make you drunker, sicker, cause your heart rate to decrease, and ultimately death. So I would say there is no time to take Xanax with alcohol.
