> b2c.The Gabapentin and Abilify are actually being studied to use with alcoholics because they reduce the "feel good" part of drinking and instead just really sedate the drinker.
Study: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16298087
The Clonazepam shouldn't be taken with alcohol because it increases the sedative effects.
But you are on three meds that can act as central nervous system depressants with alcohol and you could get in trouble if you were partying and got sleepier than what you are used to managing, maybe? With one beer, I personally wouldn't stress over it, (and I'm sure there will be people that disagree.)
Hope that helps!
