I would advise against drinking while on the aforementioned drugs.
Klonopin is benzodiazepine and consuming any benzodiazepine with alcohol can result in a potentially fatal overdose. Overdosage of benzodiazepines, particularly when combined with alcohol, may lead to coma, but does not cause severe biochemical disturbances and therefore carries a relatively good prognosis if quantities of the substances ingested are not sufficent to cause death.
Zoloft (sertraline) is part of the SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) group of antidepressants. Patients should limit their alcohol intake while on Zoloft (sertraline) (or any antidepressant). Because the liver is doubly taxed with processing both substances (in addition to any other drugs the patient may be taking), alcohol remains in the bloodstream longer, so the effects of alcohol may be more strongly and quickly felt by people taking sertraline or other antidepressants.

Yes. Taking alcohol with any kind of medication is a big no no. Especially with anti-depressants. Some people that take anti-depressants and drink can become dependant on the alcohol because of the effects that it has.

Yes. Never mix alcohol with ANY drug. But especially Klonopin, antidepressants and also narcotic pain medication. Never.

It is Not advisable to ever drink any sort of alcohol while taking such prescribed drugs.
The combination alters your perception, and judgment, can cause epilepsy, and other negative consequences.
