A slang term for a person who uses Xanax (alprazolam), a prescription benzodiazepine used to treat anxiety and panic disorders. "Bammer" can refer to both recreational and medical users. The term is subtle enough to be used in public without drawing attention, as most people won’t recognize it. People also use the word "Bams" instead of Xans or Xanax in conversation, making it even more discreet.
