I hear that alcohol dims the effects of LSD, but when me & a friend shared a heineken when tripping we felt insanely "drunk" if you want to call it that and it made us feel sooooo happy.

Has anyone else drank a bit of alcohol on LSD? %)
 
A beer or two on acid is nice but drinking more than that will dull your trip. I get a weird alcoholic taste all throughout my body when I drink on acid though and I don't like it so I don't drink very much when I trip.
 
it gives a funny buzz.. but then the after effects last the whole trip.. i will never do it again..
i mean i tried it - once had a series of beers coming up - ended up being a weird trip where i did disastrous shit..
once i was tripping hard and went to a store - bottle of saki seemed like a safe choice - drank half of it and i felt so close to sober that it pissed me off - it dulled the LSD to the point i was getting bored and sleepy..
i will smoke any amount of weed while tripping, but no booze please... ;)
 
In my fairly extensive experience alcohol has dulled the trip for me every time, but that's not to say that if you start drinking and take a good dose that you won't trip your balls off. lsd is going to "win out" over just about any substance I've yet combined it with, which is quite a few. I almost always get a strong craving for beer at the end of a long trip. I usually indulge in that craving and it helps me sleep. :)
 
I've finished over 20+ beers during a trip over the course of the night/morning at a few Doofs. I quite like the slushy blend of the psychedelia combined with the lowered inhibition of alcohol.. i feel very coordinated and witty while at the same time extremely sociable.

I've done my fair share of 'intense' trips over the years.. and i got what i wanted out of it, now i just take it easy :)
 
^I second all of what malakaix posted above.

Drinking alcohol while tripping is good for more recreational/party/social trips. It's true it lessons the introspective/philosophical/analytic aspect of the trip, but that's okay in some situations.

Tripping at a party while drinking is a lot of fun IMO (it really needs to be the right kind of party/people though). The alcohol makes the trip less inwardly focused (thus quiet/shy/reserved) while allowing me to be more outgoing and social. It's fun to have the removed, 'brand new world' perspective of tripping while also feeling like sharing verbally with those I'm with. Also, the psychedelic helps keep me from turning into a babbling, drunken idiot that alcohol sometimes does. It's like being drunk, but without loosing my intellectual abilities in the process.

I should note I quite enjoy alcohol normally though. This combo isn't for everyone.

be safe, and have fun.
 
Meh... it's a waste IMHO. Couple brews are fine and maybe some more near the baseline of the acid but too much is just a slush of sensations.
 
I usually drink towards the end of a trip (along with smoking weed), kind of transition into drunk/stoned from tripping, it helps passing out later.

That said, at burningman i drank like 8 beers on a hit of some very powerful acid, and it didn't feel like it affected me at all. I was still tripping hard, and just had to pee a lot, which wasn't fun. I remember thinking "acid is always the stronger drug!".

On acid, i usually don't get drunk per se, just feel like im tripping stronger. Thats not true on other substances, like MDMA, which are overpowered by excessive drinking.
 
^ I was even disappointed with the ol' booze-'n'-blaze. Awhile ago I smoked a couple bowls of some nice, heady, bud and was pretty well lifted into the sativa-dominant strains' signature psychedelic-esque realm of stonedom. Decided for some ungodly reason to throw some alcohol into the mix (I never drink), and it seemed like the instant the vile liquid hit my gut, a damper was put on my high and I came crashing down to a soulless body-buzz.
 
tried this combination about 5 hours into decent two blotter trip, played scrabble with my parents and had an unbelievably low score :(
 
as stirfry said- drinking on psychedelics (LSD Mushrooms) has always led to more fun trips in setting where most people are not tripping.

The Alcohol ( a few drinks, not getting wasted) diminishes the weird social effects that lsd and boomers can have. I don't drink very much and have quite a low tolerance. When I've been tripping however, alcohol is certainly not the dominant drug and can drink more and still be very focused and active.

good combination in more social settings, for introspective trips though I only sometimes drink at the comedown to help my body relax and get to sleep a bit easier.
 
Some people say it's wasted though I've done this on many occassions and I find that a low - moderate dose + heavy drinking lead to some insane drunk times. It's not nearly as trippy and you don't get alot of the existential/deep thinking (which can be a good thing every now and again, I always tend to get a bit annoyed with my brain when it gets more existential than I want it to) You still get quite a heavy body feel of it though and retain the urge to dance like a spacker and take off your clothes.

Oh man, I know that feeling well. I feel like alcohol does that to all drugs, it just puts a huge damper on them-- almost as bad as benzos.

Alcohol can be kinda cool though, its just more dependent upon set and setting than any other drug. You really need to be socializing and having a good time to begin with, if you want to add alcohol into the picture and have it end in a good time.

To me, the primary use for alcohol is facilitating uninhibited social interaction with the people I cherish. Which is really an important use, because the times I share with my fellow people are the happiest moments of my life. :) That's why its really a shame that so many people abuse alcohol, it ends up actually distancing them from others instead of bringing them closer.
 
Strange how there is not more info on this combination! Have you tried it and how do you feel doing this combination?
Personally I feel extra messed up drinking on acid and it makes me feel very dirty physically. I get sloppy and may have a harder time remembering things. I have had fun with it but still would not recommend it to others. It's strange like that.

Anyway the stumped numbing effect of alcohol goes in the opposite direction of the laser sharp crystal clear-mindedness LSD gives you so that is one reason why it's far from ideal. It forces the trip to be more recreational and leave the rest aside but in doing so you lose much more grace than I think we can afford. It's not that bad, but a shame nonetheless if you ask me.
 
I've probably drank over 30 beers while tripping. I find that because of the tendency for LSD to "win out" you can drink pretty much all you want without feeling "drunk".
