Believe it or not, i barely have any experience with alcohol, my dad's an alcoholic so i tend to stay away from it, a beer or two every now and then is alright though

But yeah, to my questions, does alcohol only affect the drugs when you can feel the difference or could it be like you get a little buzzed at 6-7pm and you take a benzo at 12am would that affect the benzo in any way then?

Can alcohol affect the drugs even if it's just in your system and for how long does it stay in the system?
When i talk about effecting the drugs, what i mean is, does it still do 1+1=4?
 
It depends on the drug, with some drugs it compounds the effects, with some it reduces them, and with some the effects just go side-by-side untouched. For example in combination with other CNS depressants like benzos, opioids etc it can increase the effects, while when taken with psychedelics, enough can stop a trip dead in its tracks.
 
generally mixing drugs with alcohol will fuck u up twice as much , depending on the drugs . with benzos if youre still drunk you will get so fucked up , if you waited till your not drunk anymore you should be fine . alcohol with weed gets u fucked , grass and beer ur all clear , beer and grass your on your ass . with amphetamines and shit it takes ages to get drunk and if ur already drunk it sobors u up alot .
 
I would advise not combining alcohol with any drugs at all, it never seems to be a good idea, obviously and CNS depressant drug is a danger to your health as alcohol has the same action and you could end up dead. But I'm yet to find drug that really combines well with alcohol (I don't drink any more as I gave it up last year but I had a dam good go at it before that) .

Cocaine- always seems to go well with alcohol but it creates toxins in your body so thats not good.

Amphetamines - whilst a few drinks can be useful to take the edge off you can easily end up over doing it and ending up with alcohol poisoning or at lest a terrible comedown.

Weed / Hash - Always ruined the high for me but this one would seem the least harmful

Benzos - Unless your hardened to both I would advise not you'll end up falling over and hurting your self and its a CNS depressant

MDXX - I suppose this would naturally fall into the Amphetamine camp, but if you are taking it in a club / party environment dehydration can be a real problem and it just ruins the high IMO.

Dissociatives K, MXE etc -Never tried the mix but understand it often results in puke central, which is your on your own could lead to death

Psychedelics - Not sure why anyone would want to mix these 2 ? ruins the experience although as mentioned can help if nothing else is available and someone is getting into trouble

You mention your dad being an alcoholic, the problem does seem to be in part genetic or at least statistically I'm no expert on the research, so I'd advice exercising caution with drinking, its the kind of rug that creeps up on you and all of a sudden you realise your drinking everyday and are in deep shit. make sure you keep it to a couple of times a week max if possible and don't over do it. That way you can enjoy a glass of port in your old age where as I don;t think I'll ever be able to touch the stuff again.

Alcohol doesn't have a traditional half-life so to say (a parabolic decay rate), but instead is linear. The classic rule of "one drink per hour" is good - I believe it implies that the liver will metabolize 1oz of pure ethyl alcohol per hour, linearly, until the whole system is cleaned out. (The 1oz figure might be slightly off, but if a shot is ~1.5oz at 40proof, then it's close enough - basically 12oz of 5% beer will "clear" as well.)
