Mixing Alcohol and Cocaine

Mixing Alcohol and Cocaine is unsafe and best avoided — TripSit rates this combination “Unsafe.” Low risk never means safe.

Cocaine can decrease some of the intoxicating effects of alcohol, causing some people to drink more than they otherwise would, which leads to greater behavioral and physical health risks. There is also some debate about cocaethylene, a metabolite produced when combining alcohol and cocaine, with some researchers positing that it is more cardiotoxic than cocaine on its own. Use moderation when combining these substances.
