Help: are there any drugs that produce a similar feeling to being drunk/intoxicated?

See response above psychedelic jays. They said MDMA's euphoria was more intense. He then replied about the NMDA antagonist properties of alcohol. I was clarifying holden 17's response.

MDMA as in ecstasy.

Thanks for clearing that up. LOL

But you guys still get my point right?

Since ethanol effects serotonin, dopamine, sigma, nmda, and others, Why not just take a combo of drugs closely mimicking these effects?

Do I need glasses? My vision is tricking me... M's look like N's and shit...

a combo of drugs with such different mechanisms of action is likely going to be bad, and probably won't end up with a "drunken" effect.

although i'm not one to talk about safe drug combos... ;)

my question is "why look for something that mimics alcohol?" there are so many different drugs that are more fun than alcohol(opiates, amphetamines, LSD, ketamine) or are very similar to alcohol but better(benzos, barbs, ludes, pregabalin, etc.).
 
For me, benzos do not feel like alcohol very much.

Alcohol is the far more recreational substance for me. Drinking alcohol produces a relatively moderate euphoria (i.e. there is clear mood elevation, but it's not the intense glowing euphoria I associate with amphetamines/opioids). Additionally, on alcohol I feel excited yet relaxed, more outgoing and more sociable.

Benzos on the other hand, are far less interesting (but useful none the less). They are effective anxiolytics, and are very useful for getting to sleep after stimulants/psychedelics and calming the anxious side effects of such drugs. They can be fun when mixed with opioids/alcohol as well. But, on their own they do not really elevate my mood at all. In fact, they make me feel quite apathetic and sleepy. The ataxia on high doses is somewhat reminiscent of being wasted drunk though.

As suggested by others, I found carisoprodol (Soma) to feel qualitatively more similar to alcohol. I haven't taken it in a while, but the times I took it, I did experience noticeable mood elevation and extroversion comparable to booze. Ataxia was more pronounced than comparable amounts of alcohol though.

The closest to being drunk without drinking is a combo.

1. High 1st plateau Dextromethorphan dose = Body tactile and vision change of ethanol.

2. A good sedating dose of Carisoprodol = Sedation of ethanol.

This is fairly safe to do...

These two at the same time should get you fairly close to mimicking a ethanol high, plus and minus a tidbit here and there...

Using that logic, I tried a combo of DXM+alprazolam to see if it would approximate alcohols effects. I think I used ~180mg DXM and 1mg alprazolam. I actually think the DXM on it's own is more fun, it was like the xanax took the excitement and other interesting aspects out of the DXM. I thought this combo felt mostly like alprazolam mentally, but with the DXM adding a pronounced body high.

This is close.

But you have to remember, Benzos are not activating every part of the GABA-A site, only part of it. You need a broader GABA-A drug.

Carisoprodol and the like or high dose Kava would have even been more close in this combo.
 
Soma(Carisoprodol) is alcohol similiar, but very dangerous drug, i had a seizure by abusing them, overdosed, now when i take it i get severe tremors i cant handle, and depression, i cant handle that crap anymore....ALCOHOL and fast acting BARBS is good as u get for comparision
 
GHB is known as a substitute than Alcohol. But I do find them quite difference in many ways. Every time I have dosed Pure Powdered Pharmaceutical GHB, I have ALWAYS been aware of what I was doing, and felt a LOT more Euphoric than ever being drunk. GHB is a lot shorter lasting than Alcohol, and acts on the GABA-B Receptor Sites, and not GABA-A like Alcohol does. So that could account for some of the differences as well.

I unfortunately never got the chance or have had the chance to try methaqualone. :( The only ludes I have ever came across seemed like they had about 10-20mg of Diazepam in them.
 
Barbituates are similar to being drunk but they dont really do much for me unless I combine them with alcohol, but this is dangerous because the last time I did that I felt very impaired, I couldn't walk properly, couldn't get out of a chair and generally felt like if I stood up I would fall to the ground. It's a nice feeling but not something I would want to re-live. I actually prefer alcohol inoxication on it's own, (why is there so much hate for alcohol on these boards?)

Can someone tell me the differences between alcohol and amphetemines like ecstasy. Like for example, what are the major differences and are there any slight similarities?

I was wondering if there are any recreational (heroin, ecstasy, weed etc.) or prescription drugs (valium, xanax) that produce a high that is similar to feeling drunk on alcohol? People have always said that a drug intoxication and alcohol intoxication are miiiiiles apart in terms of how they make you feel (e.g. alcohol making one sluggish and tired, while drugs energise and provoke activity). While other people say that there are some recreational drugs that feel somewhat like you are drunk/tipsy.

I have never experimented with drugs before but I have always considered it, however nothing hard.

id say some sort of benzo....nimetazepam gave me the closest thing to what resembles a drunk feeling.
 
Unless you have access to a huge variety of drugs, they are all so different from one another. The closest thing I have come across would be DXM at low doses or benzodiazepines. Low-dose DXM gives me a drunken state of mind with a more speedy buzz and more mental impairment for the amount of buzz. Benzodiazepines feel like a cross between alcohol and some kind of antipsychotic (seroquel for me), but this combination makes me unpleasantly drowsy. At high doses, I definitely notice a smoothened alcohol-like buzz from lorazepam (the only benzo I can clearly remember the effects of) but they are are miles apart in other respects.
 
1) Low dose DXM (50-150 mg)
2) Benzos plus low low dose of DXM
3) There's nothing really like the good 'ol ^OH
which is funny cause that's how it works. Comeup. Peak. Comedown. OH fuck, hangover.

LOL Right?

What is the hold up of getting a few dollars that you would spend on benzos and DXM, that can get you a pretty good amount of alcohol... LOL

Alcohol by far is the cheapest drug known to man besides depleting yourself of oxygen. It's so cheap, you can make your own with the right resources...

Not really, GBL works out at a few pennies per dose. You can get pretty "drunk" on about 1 pounds worth of pregabalin. Mushrooms are free. Etc.

JWH-018 and other research chems are way cheaper. JWH-018 ends up being about .01-.05 per dose, depending on what you like as a dose and the price you pay. But booze is definitely the cheapest of all OTC and street drugs, at least the ones I have access to.
