Benzos Xanax and Alcohol

[hamwaggle]

So I have plenty of experience with opiates and moderate experience with benzos, but opiates are certainly my DOC. I haven't messed around with alprazolam in a while besides taking a bar or so to have a good night sleep once or twice a month. I am going down to my old college campus this friday with my good friends to have a good time (I just graduated in May and miss it already). I have 2.5mg of xanax left (5 x .5 footballs) and was wondering what would be the appropriate dose to take to drink on. I DO NOT want to be completely fucked as I have plenty of experiences taking 2mg or so and drinking and punching my best friend in the face for no reason and not remembering a damn thing. I just want to take enough to intensify my drunk so I don't need as much alcohol but still am pretty inebriated. Should I start with just .5mgs on friday and see what happens? or is this two low of a dose to really do much?

taking 2mg or so and drinking and punching my best friend in the face for no reason and not remembering a damn thing.

Sounds about right for the combo. There really isn't a safe amount to take for this combo unless you were in a more controlled setting, like at home with only access to 1X .5mg pill and 4-6 beers.

Even if you just take .5mg it is enough to cause a blackout since you will likely drink a lot more since xanax often leads to that. Also, if you have the pills with you, you may think that you are fine and decide to take more of them, when in reality you are just adding to the length of the already inevitable blackout that awaits you.

Not safe to mix them, 0.5mg will be exponentially stronger with alcohol. It's just asking for a blackout, I don't recommend you do this.

 

[treezy z]

mixing benzos and alcohol is called the "jailhouse cocktail" in my area because you might wake up in a jailcell. don't fuck with it.

 

[MoveTheShadow]

in fairness you.d be fine with .5 , and a few beers.
Drink less than usual and you.ll have a wonderful time

 

[HCandKROD]

Do one or the other. Could be a blackout for you doin' both.

 

[daytryptr]

If you only have access to .5mg after you start drinking, and have a decent amount of willpower to know when enough is enough (including how much you drink), and know how easily potentiation turn into "i wanna get fucked" and the consequences of doing so, then i don't see how it could end badly.

Its walking the razors edge though, and don't underestimate the possibility of losing control over how much you take. Thats why not having access to any more than what you plan to take when sober, and dosing low is a good idea, a really fucking good idea.

Be safe.

[hamwaggle]

lol maybe ill just save all of them till sunday when I'm hungover as shit...

 

[mrflowers00]

all alcohol mixed with xanax will lead to is a blackout

 

[Deblanc]

I gotta weigh in on this one because I have a history with benzos and alcohol and I know the risks first hand. Sure, you can enjoy .5 and some booze if you have an alcohol tolerance, and certainly if you have a tolerance to both. The problem, as has been stated, is Xanax in particular makes you a) disinhibited, so you tend to take more and drink more, b) feel great so you want to take more and drink more, c) forget how much you've had.

This combo ( jailhouse cocktail indeed) is responsible for more violence, theft, assault, arrests, accidents and general mayhem than possibly any other abusable drugs out there. Mix that with a college party scene (frat?) of a school you just left, and dearly miss the scene, and you are setting yourself up for exactly what you say you do not want. Like punching your friend in the face. Or getting YOUR ass kicked by some current students who think you are acting like that fucked up jackass graduate who can't stay away. I'm not saying that's you. I'm saying Xanax and alcohol can MAKE YOU THAT.

Not worth it, dude. It's trouble waiting to happen. Please take our advice. It may not get out of hand this time, but it will happen eventually, and it's never good.

Oh, yeah, I forgot to add death. That's a possibility, too. Been there, got the hospital bill to prove it.

 

[Gyrospeck]

Even with a large Xanax tolerance, I'm smart enough not to mix more than .5mg with about 2-3 shots MAX. Even that can be risky and make you desire more (as others have stated). I would echo others advice to avoid the combo and use the xanax for the hangover or another event.

 

[DubNaut]

in my experience a small dose of benzo 1-2mg (with experience) and you should be fine drinking beers for a while.

just do not take more than 2mg max of the benzo and you will be fine drinking

my bad experience = chugging a 5th of rum and 6mg xanax = car wreck and blackout lol the highschool dayz

it alll depends how much you want to drink the more you want to drink the less benzo you should take.

I would be fine with 2-3 mg xanax and a COUPLE of beers like 3-4. I'd be feeling good especially with cannabis

 

[Tommyboy]

^ You can still blackout from 1mg of xanax so I wouldn't say you will be fine drinking beers on that dose. The blackout probably won't be as intense and you will probably only commit a misdemeanor or two instead of some felonies, but I still don't recommend it.

 

[DubNaut]

yeah no doubt, that is my personal experience, with tolerance (experience) as stated

HERE, I definitely do not recommend mixing any amount of benzo with Alcohol.
unless you have experience working up from the low doses combinations to beyond

 

[F1n1shed]

You guys are tripping out, 1mg or so with a moderate amount of alcohol is almost fine imo. Just don't act like a fucking fool and control your self, you don't always have to be aggressive or clumsy. In my experience xanax with alcohol makes for a real euphoric combo, just don't over do the drinking.

 

[Deblanc]

Shit I've drank hard on xanax plenty of times, at my peak 5-8mg over 24 hrs and probably the better part of a fifth. I don't remember a lot of those times but I never got arrested. I gambled a fuck ton of money away in casinos. I said shit I regret hearing about later. But you know when I drove onto the shoulder falling asleep, opened my eyes at the very last moment and swerved into the median just in time not to hit the bicyclist from behind at 60 mph?

On .5 mg of Xanax and a six pack.

That's the problem. You just never know.

 

[blight12]

Man in my experience the only thing more risky then this is zolpidem/zdrugs and alcohol where the fun starts AFTER you go to sleep.

 

[mrflowers00]

i don't have an alcohol tolerance anymore but it takes 4mg of xanax mixed with about a 6pack of beer to make me blackout but i have a very high benzo tolerance so i would do 3mg of xanax along with a 40oz to feel good if i didn't have the benzo tolerance i might do .5mg with 2 beers

I sense there's a funny story behind this.
