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.
“You seen Jake? He’s been a bammer all week—barely keeping his eyes open.”
→ “I’m not riding with those bammers again—they were too
faded last time.”
→ “She’s a low-key bammer, but you’d never know unless you’
re in the
loop.”
→ “You got any bams on you? I left mine at home.”
