My theory is that one should either have alcohol or benzos in their life, but not both.
Together they are bad news, and less "enjoyable" than either alone. (And the emotional "dip" caused by the alcohol is deeper than alcohol alone.)
One can make the body have less of a reaction to the other. Coming off of benzos can make a "hunger" for alcohol, which if consumed can cause the bad synergy noted above.
Since "picking" alcohol is the wrong choice, that leaves therapeutic doses of benzos as the "right" choice.
