Say 2mg an hour before the event plus up to 2*2mg during the event.
Dave, with respect... The OP has demonstrated behaviors that illustrate a lack of self restraint. The drinking issue in conjunction with benzos could be hazardous to his well being.

I wish the best for the OP but IMO, gaining control of his drinking habit is the first step.
