It may be a bad idea in most cases, but I think it can be done responsibly. Make sure you somehow ensure you won't eat a shitload of benzos - more than you intended (take out the dose you want, lock the rest up, hide the key, you'll forget where it is). Don't overdo the booze.

Alcohol with benzos is extremely fun - far more fun than either alone.

Keep in mind when you read my dosages that I have a pretty damn high tolerance to gaba agonist drugs ... my doses would probably floor or even maybe endanger somebody with no tolerance - be careful.

4 mg clonazepam, 150 mg oxazepam, 10 mg zolpidem, and 2 and a half shots of 80 proof vodka so far. I'm feeling mild but intensely relaxing effects ... not quite euphoria (opiates and speed showed me what euphoria really is and other drugs just don't have that), but very silly and fun. The rest of my benzos are locked up in a fire-proof safe that my sister has the key for ... this is critical for preventing benzo madness.

Benzos potentiate alcohol like fucking crazy. Opioids are potentiated in the nodding sense by benzos, but not the euphoria sense. With benzos, since alcohol can lock the gaba(a) ion channel open, the effects of the conformation change caused by benzos are fantastically enhanced. Small amounts of booze feel like huge amounts, but more euphoric.

This combo is dangerous, but very much worthwhile if you take some precautions. I'm sure most of you already know this from extensive exerience, but for the newbies out there ... it can be done, and it can be really really fun, just don't be stupid. Have safety precautions in place before you begin ingesting either substances and you'll be fine.

The best thing about this drug combo is that less booze need be consumed to produce the desired fun effects and thus a hangover free drunk can be achieved.

Ativan and vodka turned me into a fucking lunatic with absolutley no recollection of the entire evening's or day's events.

Bless you if you can handle the combo. I just keep drinking until I pass out.

And I can relate to locking or putting your benzos where you cant get to them. I told myself on a few occasions that 2 mg Ativan was my limit only to gobble down 5-6 and be floored.

I like short acting benzos every now and then, and even then by themselves. Not even with my opies.

That wasn't the "energy" drink, I think it was a "cola". I do know what you're talking about though...

Ok I'm very high now. The previous benzo doses plus 6 shots of vodka total now. Typing is still ok but I'm so in the zone of downer-ness.

I use(d to use) benzo's AND alcohol all the time. But it's all in the amount you take and in your tolerance ofcourse. I used to take something like 10 mgs valium or 50 mgs serax to sleep and have a few beers/wines after work. But I always quit the booze after a few glasses, I really don't like getting drunk, just a little 'relaxed' is o.k. by me.. I never had a black-out (as far as I can remember, haha)
Still, it's a good thing to warn people against the combo.. many people don't know what the fuck they are doing or using.

I stopped at the 6 shots. No blackout or hangover. Well, that was entertaining at least.


I agree people really need to be careful with this combo and take precautions against taking massive doses due to lowered inhibitions.

Benzos and booze made its way into my weed diet which was a staple years ago for me. Made me feel great and energetic to a point. Then fucked up, happy, relaxed, and totally blacked out >in which cases I could do some seriously fucked up things.

I still enjoy benzos, and to me whats a benzo without booz? But I've learned to be careful as this is often the combo that heads me towards disaster. After a bit too much Im looking for boy or something similiar. Then shit gets dangerous, falling out and what not.

I think they can be a great combo but must be used wisely and a certainly way more hazardous when combined.

I'll probably regret posting this later on but fuck it. I know I'm QUITE drunk becuase I see two copies of what I'm typing. I hit the vodka and had four shots and then started on a bottle of 20 percent alc sake mixed with OJ (along with a shitload of benzos). I never get serious typing issues no matter how fucked I am, so don't assume this typing coherence is evidence of not being overly fucked. I'm approaching my record for gaba agonist fucked-up ness tonight. This is NOT euphroic, but somehow stillf fun as hell.

In this state I feel free to admit that I feel like I'll never loose the desire to be un-sober. It doesn't matter what drug, I just HATE being sober with a passion. Opioids are obviously my favorite by far, but ANY psychoactive intoxication > sober. Sober is disgusting. Why would ANYONE want to be sober. It's nasty. it fucking sucks.

Well my friend yes the sobriety is extremely boring, thats what always seems to break my will.........but you really don't wanna be an alky do ya? I can still vividly recall hangovers during my drinking days, one lasted for four days, it felt like I was on acid for 4 days, horrible. Throw a meth or coke crash in there and no benzos or opiates as a cushion and that is truly hellish. Take it easy with the booze and pills abd be safe now...........
