does alcohol potentiante benzos or is it the other way around?

yeah ^ what he said. i did 3-4-ish mg of xanax snorted (stupid idea), drank literally ONE SIP of hard liquor 1 hour later, and dont remember a single thing after that. i woke up late the next day and felt like god had touched me, it was a sweet feeling, but it was also a shitty feeling realizing how bad i blacked out the night before.
 
It starts out "Ill take a few Benzos then drink a few beers" The next thing you know its been way more than a couple and you could fall and hurt yourself. Never mix Alcohol with anything (weed is ok, it might make you stop drinking for the night) I mixed booze with Barbs and woke up on my kitchen floor with a broken hand with no memory of what happened. I dont do that anymore.
 
^good advice.

The problem with alcohol + benzos is once you reach a certain level all judgment is gone and you just keep drinking/taking more until you do something stupid, reckless or dangerous.
 
It's not the actual combination, it's the amount that one has access to.

If you simply pace yourself, you will be fine.

A bar or two, then getting plastered is nothing too serious.
But when the memory goes to shit, you might even forget that you popped any to begin with.
Next thing you know, you lucked out because you ran out of benzos and booze just before you got to the point of no return.

Pacing is the key. It can be done, and it's not impossible. It's never impossible to be responsible.
