technically they say not to drink while on SSRI's. This is really only due to the fact that it increases certain effects of alcohol and a very very slim chance of serotonin syndrom. It's okay to drink some while on SSRI's. I've never been on lexapro but I am on celexa right now which is another SSRI and I still drink heavily on it. I've noticed I blackout quicker while drinking on it and once I blackout my drunken behavior is more negative and sometimes violent and I didn't used to be that way when I wasn't on an SSRI. All I can say is be carefull and take it slow.

I don't know if you'd have any desire to drink on your second day. I took Lexapro for the first time yesterday, and I felt horrible. I was drowsy, and my mind felt so foggy. I don't want to worry you though, because everyone is different. Some people have no side effects at all.
I personally wouldn't drink. The precautions specifically advise against it. You don't want to put yourself in a precarious position, especially until you know how you'll react to the drug.
Maybe you should look something more appropriate lonely_world
