I agree with what is said above: ^
You should absolutely test any sedative drug at home before you do it on an aircraft. You also will find out if you get a hang over. It is more typical for the old long acting substances but there are huge differences between individuals. The interaction with alcohol can be pretty significant. Try not to combine both!
Sweet dreams!
