[Combo Subthread] Psychedelics & Alcohol

I've never noticed my trips to be any less psychdelic when combining it with booze.. and I'm usually drinking coooooooopious amounts of alcohol for 2 reasons. 1. I love booze. 2. I can't feel the alcohol at all when im tripping..

I mean maybe if I only took like 1 hit of medium potency acid and started inhaling booze.. then I'd notice it.. but I almost never take 1 hit of acid..

Its always at least 2, and they're usually quality (hoffmans).
*shrugs* thats just me though.

I have a feeling that a lot of the people here who think mixing booze with psychs is akin to sacrilege prolly haven't really tried it themselves.

The reason I drink when I trip is mostly cause if I don't drink at least some kinda booze, I'm not going to be able to sleep for a loooooooooooooong time.
oh yeah, that and I'm a booze hound.
 
This is apparently a way old thread, but seeing it anyway made me finally register to bluelight, because this particular subject is so close to my heart. <3


Horridious amounts of alcohol so far have contributed to my best experiences with psychedelics. Especially with many research chemicals like 2C-E and 2C-T-2 the bodyload, for me, is experienced really harshly even on low doses. Some 4-5 units of alcohol are good to take this away and calm my stomach. (So are cigs, by the way)

To me it appears that alcohol first starts to sedate those areas in the brains that are much related to conscious thought processing as well as those that have a part in creating social and mental barriers. My trips so far have seemed far intensified by alcohol, as long as the drunk's good and not one of those where you need to hold on the wall to stop from falling down, even that you're laying on your bed. ;)

Wrote a trip report of 2C-E, JWH, cannabis and alcohol combined. I had drank a full bottle of strong wine before taking the horrendous amount of 2C-E. Frankly, I had best time in my life: http://www.shroomery.org/10506/2C-E-the-first-encounter-with-psychedelics

The experience, so far, has been unrepeatable even with higher doses of 2C-E, and this I contribute to the setting, weed and, in the spirit of what was written above, high amount of alcohol.
 
My two cents:

If you are someone who drinks alot and is comfertable drinking, a drink or two will help with anxiety. That said, I don't like drinking prior to a trip, because I like feeling the onset, come-up and peak of the drug.

At burningman last year, i drank probably 8 beers on the tail end of an LSD trip, and a just felt like I was still tripping (I remember thinking "LSD is always the more powerful drug, and cannot be tamed!"). A big downside to that was I had to pee A LOT for that entire time, which sucked, because i had to run to the portapoties an hope i didn't pee myself on the way. It was that bad. I eventually came down enough I felt drunk (about 8-10h since taking the lsd), but it wasn't too enjoyable because i'd been up all night and felt really cracked out and dehydrated. Man that was good acid.

I enjoy drinks on the tail end of a trip to calm down, as I am a drinker and associate alcohol with relaxation. Often on Lsd, shrooms, or lsa, I have nausea during the first part of the trip, and couldn't drink if I wanted to (I do smoke weed during that time usually, which knocks the nausea down a notch and kicks the tripping up a notch). Also, i often don't feel the alcohol's effects much, and don't feel like its beneficial to drink and take tryptamines.

However! When i take pills (presumably mostly mdma), I usually drink before, during and after taking them, which many people say is bad, but i drink water during that time and pre-and post-load with vitamins and 5-htp and don't usually feel like its "damaging" me more than a normal hangover. That's always a good time, and the combo seems to work well (as long as you don't drink more than you usually do).

Haven't tried wine in combo with any pscyhedelics/pills... maybe that would be worth a shot.
 
Never had a problem with a few beers while tripping, though I haven't really ever been drunk ...
 
I've gotten pretty drunk on 2c-b, very very drunk on mescaline & equally so another time on bromo-dragon-FLY, mdma & a few other bits.

Enjoyed each time.
 
I don`t drink alcohol, but I do love a dose of gbl on the comeup and tail end of a trip. Makes it positively ecstatic :)
 
I find it's always a good idea to drink a couple beers, drop acid and drink a few more beers while it's coming up. Loosens the nerves and prepares one for the ride. I also drank at the tail end of my 3rd 2C-E trip last weekend. I was worried about possible nausea so I didn't drink until after the peak, but it was nice, helped me sleep.

Mushrooms on the other hand, I haven't done them for probably over a year, but I can never drink on them. My friend fainted or seized from drinking while on mushrooms after calling everyone that wasn't drinking pussies all night! Got what he deserved!

I wonder if I would have the same problem with drinking on the synthetic 4-substituted tryptamines as I do with drinking on mushrooms? Anyone tried drinking on 4-HO-MiPT, 4-HO-DiPT or 4-AcO-DMT?
 
^ I have some drank cans on 4-aco-dmt. Didn't feel that much.. Mostly helped to sleep. 4-aco-dmt didn't have any nausea and was relaxing on it's own.

I like to have a drink (or a few) if I'm feeling over-stimulated. Generally, I tend to add alcohol to the mix when I'm ready to relax and maybe get some sleep on the tail end of the trip.
 
well, for me it kinda depends on what im doing. for instance, if im taking psychs, ill plan on maybe having a beer while coming up, and making sure to have 4-6 for the comedown. If im drinking though, and just happen to land my hands on some shrooms or cid or whatever, then ill probably just eat that and forget about it, and keep drinking heavily. Also, i never drink anymore with 2Cs, because i dont feel drunk at all. One time, me and 4 other people ate 100-150mg of 2ci between us, and drank two bottles of jameson. I didnt realize i was drunk until i tried to stand and took a header into a door. Even after that i didnt feel drunk, even though i knew i was
 
the problems arise when the negative emotional effects come from alcohol

that's when people get bad trips from it

I personally only feel positive effects from alcohol, and suspect other people are like me - combining alcohol and psychedelics in this case is not a problem (not more than, like, 4 shots though)
 
Alcohol takes the edge off for me in general. LSD gets me edgy. LSD + VERY moderate amounts of alcohol (2-3 beers MAX) sounds like a solid time.

A good red (shiraz preferably) on acid is heaven in a glass.
Click to expand...

I really agree! for me Red Wine makes me really happy unlike beer and spirits. Red Wine for me is a pretty special drink.

I wouldn't want to drink on Mescaline or Shrooms but it's a winner with LSD. Before I drop I have a good strong glass and while waiting for it too hit .... I have another =D

As most have said it takes away the anxiety edge of the comeup, but also you get a better sense of being "free" and are more able to be yourself and come out of your shell and act like a lunatic!

I don't smoke pot on the comeup or peak as it makes my anxiety shoot up and I go all quiet. Although the visuals are great ... but it's just not worth it, way too much mental fog.

Hahaha, i'm dropping tonight and i'm not doing it without a bottle of NZ Red.
 
I sometimes like to have a few beers when I eat acid, not getting drunk, just sipping on them. I really enjoy the taste of good beer though. I usually don't mind being up late after a trip, but if I do want to get to sleep, I might lay down and relax with a little whiskey and a bowl. I don't drink on mushrooms though. When I have, the trip was somewhat dysphoric and very disorienting. When I am experimenting with unscheduled, experimental psychedelics, I also leave the alcohol out.
 
ok, new perspective

i went to a rave saturday, ended up eating 7 hits of acid (way more than i ever have before) as well as getting drunk. nite ended when i tried to wake this guy up by slapping him so hard i gave him a shiner.

so, from now on, i may have a beer or two, but no getting drunk on acid. i get mad stupid
 
I love drinking some beers on the tail-end of an acid trip, it's great and certainly doesn't decrease the psychedelic effects.

Alcohol on psychedelics can be heavenly, just don't drink too much, theres many levels of intoxication from alcohol. Alcohol doesn't automatically mean 'drunk and messy'.
 
I find a few beers a nice complement to tripping. In terms of getting drunk whilst tripping, I wouldn't bother if I expected a trip of decent magnitude - what good could it do? I find psychs tend to over power the feeling of being drunk, substantially, I end up just feeling the norm psych affects + a bit of relaxation (not always a good thing) + the normal fucked motor function and an increased need to piss. Having said that low dose mushrooms + alcohol provides a very nice experience, in the right setting.
 
Alcohol in moderate doses on comedown = yes. Or sometimes when you're anxios and have no benzos lying around.
If the mix isn't dangerous in terms of health of course.
