Interactions between substances are often difficult to predict reliably. Individual factors (e.g., pre-existing conditions, medications, dosage, purity/contaminants, method of consumption) can significantly alter risks and interactions. Combining drugs is therefore generally not recommended, as it usually increases the risks of substance use.
Although considerable effort has been made to avoid errors or misleading information, with the very large number of possible combinations, some content may not be completely correct or up-to-date. Where no scientific sources are cited, information may be based solely on users' experiences. SaferMix should not be used as your sole source of information, but is intended as a supplementary quick reference that makes no claim to completeness.
In acute emergencies, emergency services should be contacted at 112 for immediate on-site medical assistance and/or the responsible poison control center for telemedical advice regarding substance interactions.
Alcohol×Amphetamine
↔️︎ Counteracting
Some effects weaken each other. This may risk consuming more than usual and underestimating the strain on body or mind.
⚠️︎ Caution
This combination creates additional risks and may produce significant adverse effects.
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.
