What are some experiences you guys have had with it? I tried it the other day and had a generally good experience; however, I was just a little tipsy and the weed I had was a lot more of a body high than, like, a mind fuck type.
I have heard stories of it being both really good and really bad and just wondered what has come out of it for some of you.
 
Get the first high out of the way, then drink and smoke as you please. Some people spin to hard for the first 30 min peak of the weed if they're already buzzed.

Personally I smoke when I drink, period, but I think it's a waste as alcohol usually overpowers any high I can get off weed at this point. I'd almost rather a cig.
 
It's very tough to balance the two. If you overuse one over the other, your night will consist of puking and the spins. Use the search engine. Plenty of threads on it. I would pass on this combo.

I tend to lose my will to drink once I've smoked weed. I get more in the mood for a chill night than a wild party. When I'm planning to drink, I make sure to get a good buzz on first before smoking, and make sure not to get too high once I do light up. You just have to find a good balance, but it can be hard to do.
 
Meh, it makes me tired and groggy and sort of . . . half-asleep kind of.

I don't like it much.

My uncle, who's a huge toker and drinker, says that being able to drink and smoke at the same time is "a hard hump to get over."

Couldn't agree more. Smoke too much while drinking = spins. Drink too much while smoking = spins lol

I enjoy it a lot though if I can take both in moderation throughout the night. It puts me in a really chill but social mood.

Also cracking open an ice cold beer while your super baked is just delicious

Yeah I bet it'd be tits with low amounts of each.

Just hard to strike the balance.

Hell alcohol is hard to strike a balance with in general. There's a PERFECT drunk for me which is almost an . . . opiate-like euphoria. It's incredible, I lie in bed listening to music in a state kinda like "nodding out". If I go a little over that level though I just feel sick.
 
I like it when I can just relax with friends, but eventually I either drink or smoke too much and it gets kind of difficult.
 
I prefer to either get really drunk and a little high or really high and a little drunk. If I consume both substances at an equal pace I just don't enjoy it, I tend to just pick one or the other.
 
Tolerance plays a big role too. I used to drink like crazy, for like a 2-8 year period. During that period we would literally wake up at 11am and start drinking by noon & then drink until we passed out. Often we were up past sunrise.

Long story short, we were always smoking significant amount of reefer throughout the course of the day/night as well. Like anything else, you eventually grow tolerant of it and end up just doing it all the time without issue. It becomes commonplace. I mean, atleast me and my buddies never really had any problems.

In the very beginning, looking back, it was a bumpy road. Getting loaded and then smoking would surely equal at least a spinning bedroom. Eventually you get the hang of it. But even at my peak of drinking, if I got drunk, drunk and then smoked for the first time I woulda had problems.

Now? I would die. I would literally not survive that kind of drinking, let alone smoking.
 
something's wrong with me. i guess from years of practice, i now can not smoke enough to make myself nauseous or have the spins. if i drink, say, 6 beers I'd be pretty drunk but not quite @ vomit level. adding any amount of pot to this would not cause spins or wanna puke. probably purely a tolerance thing. i never drink without smoking though.
 
I've had much experience with this combo and it's been good to me most of the time, rarely made me sick... In fact theres been times where its induced waves of full-body orgasms I havent felt on any other drug.. weird really. This mainly happened after drinking 6-8 beers and smoking a gigantic snap or two.

As I built some tolerance to weed and alcohol though, I find it no longer induces that effect, but it still helps me get drunker.

The intricate effects of weed are lost sometimes, but along with this the anxiety/paranoia effects as well.
 
Done this combo many many times, if your just drinking a couple of beers it's not going to matter much unless you get effected by alcohol very easily.

I usually go by the saying "Beer before grass - you're on your arse. Grass before beer - you're in the clear"

Drinking then smoking seems to 'fuck me up' more then smoking then drinking. It's almost always when your already drunk then smoke some weed that the spins and vomiting can happen. Lots of first timers learn the hard way and are put off weed because they try it when they're drunk and their inhibitions are down at a party or something. I'd be put off it too after seeing how it can cause a drunk person to get horrible nausea and vomit heaps, has happened to me on a number of occasions.

But I generally find if I smoke weed before drinking anything it allows you to gauge how "fucked up" you want to be. Your also more inclined to drink less as your already stoned and content with things.

Also I'm not sure if this is true but I remember reading somewhere or someone telling me that alcohol destroys the THC in your system or something along those lines, or maybe it was that alcohol causes THC and other cannabinoids less able to be absorbed into the bloodstream. Something like that, but basically your better off to smoke first in most cases IME.
 
I dont mind it, its something i used to do. alot, i find unless im doing something i get the munchies so badly and order about £30s worth of indian or chinese then eat about £3s worth get tired and end up in bed before 12. But sometimes i wack pen fruity loops get out my midi keyboard and have actually sat there till 5am writing music by myself and gone to bed to wake up the next morning with an awesome progressive trance track :D.

so i give it a thumbs up :D

I think the saying in Australia: grass then beer you're in the clear. Beer and grass you're on your ass.
But it does not effect me that much, I really like it.
Nothing better than a cold bottle of beer and a joint in the other hand.
 
This combo used to be my bread and butter in high school. Then opiates came around and I can't drink on them now. I like to smoke first , then have a drink or two, then smoke a little more. If I smoke after I'm already drunk I get spinny.

Agreed. I've made the mistake of getting rather high when drunk before and it sucks balls (if you're not used to it at least). Blazing first can be quite fun, but I generally wouldn't have as much as if I were just smoking.
