Moderation is the key. One, no more than two drinks over the course of dinner or an evening out will be OK, but my advice (along with others) is to abstain. Alcohol is a depressant, Lexapro is an antidepressant. Does there seem to be a conflict here?
An occasional drink is OK, but examine why you need to drink at all. After all, you're taking a powerful psychotropic medication that's prescribed and desire to take another powerful psychotropic along with it that's not prescribed. Alcohol is a drug.
I hope this helps.

As a psychoactive (antidepressant) drug, Lexapro is bad to mix with alcohol in any proportion.
