I would strongly suggest against consuming alcohol with medicine.
It will alter the bioavailability of these medicines and alcohol may be even more harmful.
Alcohol has a tendency to reduce Anxiety and ultimately it becomes a pattern and leads to dependency.
Next Steps
Continue medicine regularly.
Health Tips
Avoid mixing alcohol and medicine.

You should avoid regular alcohol and large amount of drinking. Occasional small drinks upto 2 pegs of 30-60 ml can be fine depending upon your tolerability.
High amount of alcohol with betacap can decrease your blood pressure as both have the potential to decrease blood pressure. You can get dizziness and fall risks increases.
With etilaam alcohol can increase drowsiness and sedation hence again increasing the risk of falling.
It can also reduce the effects of nexito for whatever condition you are taking. Hence avoid on a regular basis and taking large quantities when taking occasionally

It is not advisable to consume alcohol with these medications, especially Etizolam, as it can increase drowsiness, impair coordination, and cause excessive sedation.
Please avoid alcohol and consult a psychiatrist for personalized guidance.
