Alcohol and Ecstasy Question

[thescarecrow]

I'm a moderate user, I wouldn't say I have a massive tolerance but I usually roll about 3-5 times per year, I do my research and test pills.

Anyway, I usually like to have a few drinks before I drop... takes the edge of the anticipation Then normally I drink minimal while rolling (I don't feel any need to/ busy dancing etc). Although a lot of the time I don't end up dropping until well into a night out and I'm inevitably well drunk by that stage. I've found that when I'm drunk I tend not to be able to control myself as much... as in, if the experience gets a little overwhelming I tend to lose my shit a whole lot easier and mildly freak out 8( and also notice on occasions black-outs and memory loss for several hours at a time.. when I would have normally been fine with that amount of alcohol on it's own. On the other hand if I drop when I'm sober or only had a couple of drinks I seem to be able to keep myself under control a lot easier and enjoy the roll heaps more if it happens hit me pretty hard.

Would be interested to hear other peoples views. Anyone have the same experiences? Think from now I'm going to plan on dropping earlier in the night before I get drunk.. or just try to drink less prior.

I thought it would have been opposite, since alcohol is a depressant and lowers anxiety?

what you described is typical of most who mix mdma and booze. Very sloppy night with periods of blackouts

I can't imagine drinking and rolling together. I do sometimes have a cocktail before the roll just to steady my nerves but drunk no thanks. I think it would spoil the roll.
