Alcohol and cigarettes.

[oxymoron310]

Yesterday I was drinking casually with a few friends. I had drank 2 Coors light, and was then asked to buy cigarettes for a friend. So without hesitating I got out of the car, walked across the street, and bought her some Newports. She smoked about half of it, and then offered me the rest. I figured "Why not?" I used to smoke the exact same brand every once in a while. So me being the natural iron lung that I am took a huge drag that was maybe 1/6 of the cigarette. Upon exhaling, I felt HAMMERED. I normally can handle my drinks, but I mean I was swaying back and forth for the next 30 seconds, a little dizzy. It wasn't unpleasantly dizzy, maybe off balance is a better word? I guess I had forgotten what a nicotine rush was. When I take Adderall or Ritalin while drinking this never happens to me. Does anyone have any experiences?
Also, I used to smoke hookah and fill the base with alcohol because that would get me drunk, but I never felt like that. Is shisha really that different?

Yea i get pretty much the same effects when I mix alcohol with nicotine. Especially if the alcohol is consumed first then a cigg or two.....it sometimes puts me in that lala land type place where I can close my eyes and I feel extreme euphoria slowly(or quickly) rising up and getting more inttense all while my mind is spinning and making me off balance.

I get it but dosnt have to be with alcohol its usually when i havnt had a cig for 3-4 hours and im craving one or if i smoke it really fast because im in a rush, sometimes feel like im actually gonna fall over but its not a bad feeling at all.

you say you put alcohol in your hookah and it gets your drunk? how so? i would think the only way for that to work is if you drink the hookah water....

i just don't see how shisha vapor passing through an alcohol solution is going to get you intoxicated. please explain.

I honestly don't know either, and I thought my friends were BS'ing when they said they filled the base with vodka. Its definitely worth trying. What have you got to lose? %)

I'm very sensitive to nicotine and although I find smoking disgusting I start craving it when drinking alcohol. When I was younger the effects made me feel kinda sick and jittery like when you drink too much coffee. Nicotine = Crappy but addictive stim imo.

And alcohol vapor makes you drunk, so putting ethanol in a hookah should work to some extend especially if the liquid gets hotter from smoking.

Your report is not quite elaborate enough to meet our quality standards in Trip Reports, so I am going to close it. That said, it will be read quite a bit by the time it is booted off the page, so thank you for writing it anyway.

Regarding your question, you may be sensitive to nicotine or had an adverse reaction to one of the array of chemicals which are commonly added to tobacco.
