I did all the research actually, you posted the side effects of Xanax ~10mg per day, straight from Merck. Problem is, the FO would absolutely know something was in her drink at that concentration.
But perhaps maybe, the captain dropped 20 0.5 mg tablets in her second glass of wine, and she only passed out for a few hours. Eventually, finding her way back to her room. Considering, that would knock me out cold for 12 hours+ at my 6'1 200lbs.
Occam's razor is she over drank on an empty stomach, probably was dehydrated with low blood sugar from flying all day. I've spent the night puking in a hotel after playing flip cup for a few hours with the crew after a long day, it happens. Normally I can drink quite a bit.
