You really shouldnt drink while taking that medication. Im no expert but Im pretty sure it can have some side effects like drowsiness, dizziness, and coordination problems. They are both depressants so you should not mix them. I think you will be okay because you took it early in the am, but for the future dont drink if your on it or do not take the ativan if you plan on drinking later. Hope I helped a little.
