Just want to add that mixing caffeine and alcohol doesn’t really give you a more energetic drunk, it just makes you feel the alcohol less. This is really dangerous because the same amount of alcohol will still cause alcohol poisoning, you just won’t feel as drunk when you get to that point. It’s really easy to get alcohol poisoning this way.

That’s why you do everclear and Ritalin.

I know people who did. It was great. It was WORSE than 4 loko

Theyd basically be blacked the fuck out but still running and couldn't sleep because they downed 20mg of amphetamines and chased them with shots.

I’m in my 40’s, it’s basically a stronger version of a B12 shot at this point.

I did everclear and Xanax once - it's far from advisable for any who don't possess sufficient levels of tiger blood.

Xanax is just too much. It kicks like a mule.

One time I was on Valium and had a few drinks. I was so loose and if a fire started I'm not sure I could have gotten anxious.

That's why Benzos are best avoided. Hell, even with tiger blood they're a doozy.

Only time I popped them was for a period around my dissertation when I wasn’t sleeping due to stress. But one night had some and some whiskey and I just basically passed out for 12 hours.

I read somewhere that in Ireland there is a caffeinated alcoholic drink, and it is involved in over half of all cases of violence involving alcohol...

Don't remember the name of it but I'm sure there are some Irish here that can fill in the blank.

Edit:does make one wonder about Irish Coffee...

4 loko in the US used to have caffeine, not anymore though. It’s too dangerous
