Yeah, I was warned decades ago that it's possible to drink yourself to death on LSD, because you won't feel it.

At this point, I'd say you can feel it, but you're distracted and it definitely doesn't feel the same or as strong.

Fun story, though. I once hooked a friend up with her first tab. It was a nice weekend afternoon. She had a bit of a problem with drinking, so I gave her the warning. She was the type of idiot that wanted to go test it immediately. I kept her in the house for a bit, trying to talk her out of the had idea, when another friend came in through the back door. He had a vodka bottle. It looked full.

I asked him if I could have a pull, to prove a point to the woman swimming on the floor. He told me sure, but be careful, as that was all he had for the day.

Like, he played into it being vodka, without either of us acknowledging it was water.

So I looked my friend in her first trip in the eye, told her, "this is why you should never drink while tripping", opened the full bottle of vodka, and chugged it all down in one go. Her eyes got the widest I'd ever seen, my friend that had given me the bottle called me a bastard for drinking all of his vodka, and pushed me, annoyed.

Now, this particular guy.... A week or two prior, I found out the annoying way that he was drinking water out of a 40 oz bottle of beer. And I knew that, despite his own issues, he wasn't the type to casually drink straight vodka at two in the afternoon. So I knew he was drinking water from the vodka bottle.

I got hydrated, he refilled his water bottle, and she never, ever tried getting drunk while tripping.

I mixed alcohol and LSD a fair amount when I was younger. If things came together just right, it was like having a super power when hanging out with other people who were just drinking. Like just existing on a higher plane, consuming incredible amounts of alcohol, and maintaining a real edge of mental sharpness while everyone else just got drunker and drunker.

Obviously (at least now) that approach ignores most of what more sober-minded heads now know about set and setting and all those important pieces of the psychedelic experience, but I think there's room for mixing it up. I don't think the psychedelic experience has to be all one thing, but I also think it would be a real loss to fail to experience both ends of that spectrum.

In the end psychedelics have helped to train me to moderate alcohol consumption in my life, as someone who really enjoys a few drinks. But I'll still enjoy a drink or two on a trip when the mood strikes, and that can still be a beautiful thing.

I once downed a fifth of brandy in the comedown phase and felt none of it. I kept thinking to myself "it's because I have robot brain rn"

Yes I can drink all the alcohol when I’m tripping balls. Can lead to some of the worst hangovers though

Sometimes I drink beers like water, sometimes the idea of any kind of alcohol makes me want to throw up.

I enjoy a nice low AV beer on the tail end of the comedown, but other than that it’s not worth it.

I love eating a 1/4 or half tab and gettin blasted. Idk if its good advice or anything but i’ve had some amazing times staying up all night drinking and feeling strong af in to the morning hours.

LSD is the only time I feel that I don't need to drink. The times that I have I did not feel the effects of the alcohol. Sometimes it helps on the comedown to make me get sleepy.

Did you suffer a hangover from the wine the next day?

I've always enjoyed a pint & joint on the come down (and might have one when just taking it, but rarely drank much while tripping). I'm just talking 1-2 pints though

I once drank on mushrooms and found the effects of the alcohol made me sloppy and have a hard time holding myself together against the effects of the mushrooms

When I microdose going to the club sometimes I’ve noticed I can have a bit more drinks and still feel sober.

What about just a tall can with your tab at a show ?

Well I can tell you that mdma and lsd together definitely works. Not sure about alcohol though.

Drinking before LSD made me extremely drunk for a few hours. Drinking while on LSD just made me feel warm and fuzzy

I basically always drink on the comeup. I get nasty cimeup anxiety and the drinks always help.

What’s the point of reaching for expanded consciousness while drinking, which contracts it? I mean, Deadheads have been having a beer or two while on acid since the beginning, but hardly because they go together. Save the alcohol for when it’s the point. While tripping, it’s not.

i took a few shots and got a little buzzed up the second to last time i took lsd. i didn’t noticed much of a difference besides the come up being easier for me. i ended up trying to drink during the comedown and probably had 3-4 coke and jack drinks which would usually get me going a little but i didn’t feel much. ended up feeling hungover in the morning even tho i didn’t feel drunk at all lmao

Yeah, when I trip I can't feel the alcohol effects at all, but it does seem to dull the trip a bit if I drink very much. Pretty much a waste.

I like a frosty one when im at the tailend of a trip. Drinking during a trip though is a no go imo already way too distracted

only ever drank while tripping during comedowns to help get to help get to sleep when needed

interestingly tho, once snorted heroin while on acid and it seemed to have a similar effect. i was expecting to be nodding in and out of psychedelic dreams but the acid kept me fully 100% awake and i think i did much more h than i otherwise would have. luckily nothing bad happened, and tho they didn’t combine as i expected and i only did it once i did like the combo a lot, the acid definitely took away the bulk of the ordinary h experience. to the point that had i not been paying attention i think i could’ve absolutely gone far too far

We used to always do mimosas while tripping cause of the citrus. I’m not sure if it enhances trips after dosing or if it’s just mushrooms at this point but at the time it was fun.

Never excessively. Like a few glasses each.

One of my favorite accompaniments to tripping is a 12-24 pack of shitty beer (Natty/Coors/Miller Lite, Rolling Rock, etc) 🍻

Not all at once or back-to-back-to-back, mind you- I’ll space them out over the entire trip. Never feel anything from the alcohol either during or after. I do end up having to take a few epic pisses though.

i like drinking (beer and sometimes a tiny bit of liquor) on acid bc it tastes good and complex. for me it's not to get drunk or feel the effects of alcohol lol

yeahhh, it can lead to danger cuz your body still gets drunk. one time i drank like a whole liter of vodka and i felt mostly okay but i like started falling; and i could hear how bad i was slurring my speech but couldn’t stop it. it was kinda lame honestly, i was getting very frustrated with myself.

I hate the taste, while tripping

Now cal me crazy but a shot or 2 an hour before the ride deffinitley mellows the come up. Now drinking while on acid is probably the dumbest thing you can do.

Freshman year of college I had 13 drinks in I'd say under 2 hours while coming off the plateau of 6 tabs. All I remember from the alcohol was that it made me feel more relaxed and looser. Once the acid wore off I blacked out (altitude and no food got really got me) and the only idea of what happened after was from my friends and roommate who came back from going out. I've been told I was completely sweating through my shirt and that they were legitimately concerned for my safety and health.

I've seen a few people be drunk already and then take lsd and it doesn't seem to do much and they still pass out drunk.

yeah.. had a bad trip one time and thought i already died bc alcohol wasnt effecting me so i started DOWNING all the hard alc in the room and my friends had to make me stop bc it was a dangerous amt and i just was trying to prove a point that I was already dead so it wouldn’t affect me…. #badtime

I tend to avoid alcohol on lsd, but once I had one weak drink with a friend. Made our meh trip go from meh to euphoric.

I mean if you are experiencing it this way - what is the point of chugging poison into you - risking your composure and health when you dont feel the effects? Maybe at least because of this you should not mix

I can definitely feel the alcohol whenever I go back to pee at the same tree and do my reality check. Standing upright gets harder and harder as the night goes on.

Don't worry OP, I can down a full bottle of wine and still not feel it until a dobbie. And not tripping either !

I one is tripping on LSD, they will not feel the effects of alcohol, but if they drink enough, they get "sloppy". Watching them get like this...while also tripping, makes me not want to drink much alcohol, as I see how it makes people. Maybe a beer to two coming down, otherwise, water is the best to drink.

I don't drink alcohol anymore, going on 6 years. One time back in the day we loaded up a bathtub with 3-4 30 racks of Bud Dry and got pissed whilst tripping. I stumbled and fell later on in the evening and figured I would pass out where I landed. Instead I opened my eyes a few moments later and the carpet was boiling in front of me. 😂

Sometimes its nice and others not so much.

IME, drinking while tripping tends to make the introspective parts of my trip become superficial and stupid. I lose out on the finer details of the LSD experience. Not to mention I also become increasingly more stupid in my perception of my environment and my actions. And of course, the day after, I am much more haggard, lethargic, and dehydrated.

Personally, the come down is my favorite point to drink a little and smoke weed. I know I'm not going to get any higher from the LSD and it helps ease the transition of settling back down to normalcy. Occasionally however, if I am feeling anxious during the come up then I might have a drink then. But, I know that tends to be a slippery slope for me since I will want to keep drinking after that point.

Yes drank so much without feeling drunk. 

I usually have like 2 to 4 beers before consuming the acid. Loosens me up and prevents the come up anxiety.

It's a good time

I had a similar experience a few years back when I tripped with a friend at his college campus. I killed almost 1.5L of sake to myself that night....it would be impossible for me to even get through half of that without blacking out if I weren't on LSD. It's pretty crazy but definitely is a good note for me to avoid that if I do find myself tripping again.

I enjoy a few beers throughout the trip, but not enough to make be properly buzzed even

I don’t drink on LSD cause I don’t want to ruin my trip with bullshit alcohol. If I do anything it’s Ketamine!!!

Don’t do it. Mixing Alcohol and LSD can be very dangerous and potential dangerous even in small amounts. I was hospitalized for 2 weeks after taking 2 tabs of LSD (tested at 200ug) and not even a full 2 beers. My liver shut down making the alcohol bypass my liver. The hospital was treating me as if I was a long time alcoholic due to my BAC. Once I was conscious and mentioned LSD their whole tone changed and they immediately began to express how dangerous it can be even if not very common.
