Those are the "not with alcohol consumption" ones that are being referred to.
Alcohol and sedatives such as benzos both depress the CNS and may cause excessive sedation, impaired motor function and depressed respiratory function in greater quantities of either, or both.
These drugs are great fro emergencies, but should not be taken long-term, and most definitely not with alcohol.

With respect, I'd like to caution you about telling people in a blanket statement that they should not take benzos. That is up to their doctors. Yes, benzos are best prescribed for short-term use for most people, however, there are some cases in which benzos are helpful and need to be taken long-term (if there is a seizure disorder known or suspected, for example). We would need to know each PC member's medical history in order to tell each one which meds they should take, or not.
