Drinking alcol before LSD

[Charliepiga]

I'm kinda of a depressed guy. I usually don't feel too happy sober. My first experience with LSD might be very bad for me if I do it sober. Are there any chances alcol can be drinker before LSD? I'd like to drink 5+ glass of wine and then take a tab. Is this gonna hurt me? Are there any studies about that? I usually get over exited and happy with alcol, that's way I'm asking.

Drinking alcohol will confuse and muddy your trip. There are no inherent contradictions between the two, but you risk losing the clarity.

It is always advisable to dose a chemical on its own the first time you use it.

^Do this.^

I've drank booze while on LSD but this was long after I'd taken it in large doses, moderate doses, and low doses of the drug. When I drank booze on acid I was on a low dose and some guys on the train offered me a beer so I took the can they gave me, opened it, and drank it. I didn't find my trip to be confusing, muddied, but I'm glad I did not drink booze the first time I took LSD.

OP, if you're very depressed I'd avoid taking LSD.

^ this is true

Gin might help calm your nerves, it's worked for me in the past in a similar situation to yourself...or beers

i sometimes have a drink or two on the comeup to help ease the transition, but more than a slight buzz will definitely detract from the trip. Also during the trip many people can/will drink much more than they realize & that can lead to various problems. Definitely be careful with the booze whilst tripping.

This has been my experience. I beer or two to ease the come up is fine, but don't drink more. It won't help the trip and it can make you do some seriously stupid stuff. For example, I know a kid that took a bunch of shrooms when he was drunk and ended up putting his head through a window. I've drank on the tail end of a trip once and it can cause serious lapses in judgement that could easily end up causing problems.

Like everyone else in this thread, I would recommend against it. Not only will it muddy your trip and put you at risk of hurting yourself through poor judgement, but alcohol has a shorter duration than LSD (which lasts 10-12 hours), and you do not want to experience the negative physical side effects that follow getting drunk while you're still tripping on acid. I once got serious food poisoning while tripping on 4 tabs of acid and what followed was easily one of the most unpleasant experiences in my life.

If you're depressed, either don't take acid or take a low dose and go into it with the explicit understanding that the trip will be an opportunity for introspection and healing that may be emotionally difficult.

2-3 beers BEFORE can really help getting into the trip with a good mood.

I agree with this. A little alcohol on the come up is not necessarily a bad idea to get the trip off on the right foot. Be sure to keep the amount of alcohol low, though. More than a drink or two is probably too much.

I just recently took 3 liquid drops, then started drinking strong alcohol. All night. It was an AMAZING trip, and my first time mixing with alcohol. It made the come up very easy, no anxiety. Everything else seemed pretty normal, little confusion when I got plastered for about a half hour...

But you shouldn't be dosing LSD is you are depressed.

I almost always have beer on hand on before and during the come-up period of dosing acid always helps with any anxiety some may experience
