Ok , so the "danger" is that you maybe become wery drunk and have ablackout - not physical danger like breathing-depression or so.
Some says that alcohol and benzo kan make you stop breathing, but its maybe in bigger doses of alcohol and benzo





IMO the biggest danger is the benzo/alcohol combo diminishes your "common sense" more quickly than alcohol alone. Then it is easy to drink too much with out realizing how much you're drinking (kind of like those fruit punch drinks with 190 proof Everclear they serve in New Orleans ). Real danger is unanticipated over consumption of alcohol and the possibility of pulling a "Jimi" because benzo keeps you out while you vomit. I'm not a doc, so I can't give exact figures for depression of respiration by benzo/alcohol combo, but I do know that, unlike barbiturates, you've got to take a lot of benzo's to OD. Stella Blue mentioned 50mg (25 x 2mg pills) of Klonopin/Rivotril/Clonazepam above -- that sounds about right to me.

"War on ...." is the wrong metaphor!
