How much alcohol is okay to consume before rolling?

So tomorrow night I'm meeting up with a friend for dinner. Usually we have a couple of pints when we go out. This should probably be at some point between 6-8PM.

Later in the night I'll be rolling, probably closer to 11 or midnight. Is there any way that having a few drinks earlier would negatively impact my roll?

I doubt a small amount of alcohol (2-3 drinks) a few hours before would cause any significant health risks. We probably will just roll at home rather than dancing so I'm not concerned about over-heating or dehydration.

I guess I'm more curious whether there is a chance it will "dull" the effects of the MDMA. I've never had any desire to mix the effects of these two substances, alcohol is the last thing I want to consume while I'm on MDMA.

Just curious about this, thanks for the feedback.
 
It won't negatively impact your roll, in fact, it will probably make you roll harder. But there is no doubt that drinking alcohol in conjuction with MDMA WILL cause increased neurotoxicity.
You don't notice a difference, but yes, it's worse for your brain.
 
By that point the alcohol should be more or less out of your system, as long as you stick to only drinking that much. You should be fine though, take some antioxidants if you want to be safe.
 
I've dropped when I've been really drunk and I can't say I rolled any less. I know it's probably a lot worse for my body, but I still had just as much fun.
 
Alcohol dulls the effects for me, but I am a heavy drinker as well.

If its just 2-3 drinks, youll be more or less sober by the time you want to roll so you'll be fine, just keep hydrated.
 
I like the combo. Tend to mix them most of the time. It's much more likely that you'll throw up if you've been drinking/keep drinking throughout the roll, and in my experience I don't get any warnings that I'm going to be sick lol so just make sure you have a good aim :P. However I think with 2-3 hours between drinking and rolling wouldn't cause any major issues at all.

Have a good'un bro!
 
Thanks for the replies. It's not absolutely necessary to drink before but it's just a tradition for us to meet up at the same bar and have a drink or two before dinner when we get together. So I'll just keep the consumption very moderate and it seems like it shouldn't be much of an issue.

Hope you all have a good night ;)
 
I like to get super drunk then pop some E .. it makes me roll harder actually i dont drink after i popped though if i do just a little or else i get nausea
 
I've never had a problem with first drinking and then rolling, anywhere from a few drinks to being quite drunk. In fact, for me a drink or two an hour or so before rolling can set the stage nicely.

Drinking while I'm high is another matter - probably a recipe to get sick. Not really nauseous but kind of like the stomach just rejects the alcohol as soon as you drink it so you throw it back up.

The ugly comes later when you're both coming down and hung over.
 
"drbluelight please tell me how much alcohol i can drink without harm on mdma" ...come on give your head a shake.

Are you suggesting that my doctor is a better person to be asking? Or that the experience of others is not a valid source of information?

I have not yet found an official physician-approved guide to MDMA use, but do feel free to share if you have one.

Its common sense its going to be more taxing on your body. Wether you choose to do that is up to you man, we cant tell you whats safe or whats not.



"everything you need to know about ecstacy" would be a great place to start reading.
Alcohol + mdma is fully covered there.

I don't recommend it....
Alcohol and MDMA in the same night is a relatively bad idea.
Regardless of weather or not you will be dancing, they both still cause dehydration..
I can't say if it dulls the roll or not because ive never done it. I have been deterred by the idea of dehydrating my self to death..

You've made your decision tho. Do what you want. Is your body. But don't come in here asking for advice and then question it.

Notice, thee people that are saying go for it, are not telling you if is safe. Just that they like to do it.

But you've probably already made up your mind.


Stay safe.

we're not here to comment on and provide insight into the safety issues surrounding drug use? i kinda thought that was the whole point of this website.. you know, harm reduction?


ive drank before rolling several times. for me, it really doesnt dull the effects of the roll but it does seem to make the mdma come down a little more harsh.. just dont drink too much and try to rehydrate with water after dropping.
 
I can't really imagine a night out without at least a couple of drinks before hand. Normally start casually drinking a couple of hours before dropping. So I'm usually quite tipsy by the time it comes to dropping. Not absolutely battered though.

Drinking at the start of a night just really sets the mood and gets everyone 'up for it' and excitable. Then the real fun starts later.

I'm generally a drinker of strong ale, but if I'm drinking before taking E, I'll stick to something lighter on the stomach. Lager or spirit/mixers.

I understand the concept, but thats besides the point, my point is, is this really harm reduction? Is it really ok to mix the two. If u were seriously here for harm reduction you'd have told op to go w/ one or the other, peoples experiences vary greatly, how are you ok with telling someone its ok to do something when you have no clue what potential dangers are in it for them.



One last thing : http://www.bluelight.ru/vb/search.php?searchid=5803918
Everything you could ever need to know is right there, mdma + alcohol to be read for days.
 
dont listen to people who say "oh they both dehydrate you" you are in no more danger than if you took mdma without alcohol. just drink water when you need to and you will be fine. i have taken beans plenty of times when i was piss drunk and had just gotten home from the bar and never have i run the risk of getting too hot or dehydrated. it actually makes me roll harder. try it

yea well im not claiming to be a doctor or something but i can still relate to the op's question and share my own experiences with him.. what he decides to do with that information is ultimately up to him.

besides he wasnt even asking us if its safe or not, he just wanted to know if alcohol would reduce the effects of the roll.. i dunno it seems like a legit question to me and i was just a little surprised that you were blasting him for it.

but ok. whatever. 8)

This is the worst advice ive ever heard pertaining to mdxx+alcohol.
