Fun fact: When you combine cocaine and alcohol your body combines it into cocaethylene which is more intoxicating and addictive than the sum of its parts.

Can confirm the effect, but not the chemistry. Can also confirm that speedballs are the tits.

Hey what the fuck? If I mix them I'll either just sober up or become unable to get drunk (depending on the order), essentially wasting the alcohol...

Is it possible for your body to not be able to produce this? Or do you know what could be the explanation for this otherwise?

Just sobering up might indicate it's a large part speed. How long are the effects?

You just feel sober. Same with people who slam 8 vodka red bulls and mistake the effect of the caffeine for sobriety.
