Mixing Alcohol and Amphetamines

Mixing Alcohol and Amphetamines calls for caution — TripSit rates this combination “Caution.” Low risk never means safe.

Drinking on stimulants is risky because the sedative effects of the alcohol are reduced, and these are what the body uses to gauge drunkenness. This typically leads to excessive drinking with greatly reduced inhibitions, high risk of liver damage and increased dehydration. They will also allow you to drink past a point where you might normally pass out, increasing the risk. If you do decide to do this then you should set a limit of how much you will drink each hour and stick to it, bearing in mind that you will feel the alcohol and the stimulant less. Extended release formulations may severely impede sleep, further worsening the hangover.

Alcohol and Amphetamines (also known as Adderall, speed, meth).

What to do

Even for lower-risk pairs, the safest choice is not to mix — and never to use alone.
Start with much less than usual and go slow — you can always take more, never less.
Never use alone. If you do, call 1-800-484-3731 (Never Use Alone) so someone can send help if you stop responding.
