How long after taking 5mg valium for the first time can you drink alcohol?

How long after taking 5mg valium for the first time can you drink alcohol? And how long does it take for the effects of valium to wear off? This is for instances in which the valium was taken for the first and only time.

Both valium and alcohol are anti-anxiety drugs. The official line is not to take them together, because of the possibility of respiratory depression. While not recommended, 5 mg and a drink won't endanger your life.

They shouldn't be taken together, or even in the same day if you've taken one or the other already.
