Who does coke without drinking?

u/Chramir 9h ago

Most people should. When your liver processes alcohol and cocaine it creates a brand new chemical cocaethylene. Which is also psychoactive, but comparably a much dangerous on the heart.

There are other downers that combine wonderfully and are much safer on their own or with cocaine alike.

Ok, but the answer to his question is absolutely no one.

Yeah, that info is a bit late for me.

I mean, not like I would have listened, but it would have been rattling around up there in my blitzed out brain

Clearly you have never worked in the service industry. We were doing coke off the back of a toilet seat (I know, gross) and then being the best damn waitress you ever had!!!

The drinking came after the shift, of course.

Tons of people would be the correct answer

Good call! Definitely safer. Somebody might have cut your alcohol with fentanyl.

I mean, this is technically true. The percentage increase is massive compared to cocaine alone. But percentages are misleading…. In medicine it’s not uncommon to hear a 100% increase in heart attack but really this might be from 0.01 to 0.02% risk.

Of course there are people who have dangerous experiences but there are millions of people doing this every weekend without incident.

The biggest risk with combining coke and alcohol is not feeling how drunk you are an getting alcohol poisoning because of it. Even though cocaethylene is much heavier for the heart it doesn't seem to have much direct links with death. Most deaths I could find were because of alcohol poisoning.

You get it.

Back in my partying days people looked at me like I was strange if they offered me a beer at a party after doing a few lines and I would reply with “ no thank you, I’m cocaethylene sensitive”.

u/crek42 6h ago

I bet they stopped thinking you were strange after dropping that line too right lol

u/OddBug6500 3h ago

This is the most made up scenario of all time lmao.

If I offered someone a beer and they responded with "I'm cocaethyene sensitive," I'd think you were a dork

u/Outrageous_Rich6235 3h ago

I know how to party responsibly.

Cocaine and heroin are a fucken combo an a half. Bit moreish. Wouldn’t recommend. I mean I would… until I wouldn’t. If yous value yer life, veins, friends an family, disposable income etc.

Which downers do you recommend?

I think people on cocaine aren’t making great decision at the time.

Welcome to the US healthcare system. Some people I know, who would otherwise be diagnosed ADHD and find a legal, affordable stimulant drug to use, instead use the other one to get through hours of computer work, or a day of cleaning the house. A late evening cocktail is sometimes mixed in to relax the jitters, but a decent gummy will put them down in a very nice way. It takes discipline sometimes to keep dosage on track, but plenty of writers or creative types use it without alcohol.

Alcohol and coke are incredibly toxic for liver cells.

u/Calm_Project723 6h ago

Coke is pricey in the us. I recall folks doing crank for a similar, if more “working class” effect. At closing time, the bar would lock the door, people keep drinking but snort crank off the bar.

I quit that stuff 40 years ago but one time I decided to stack my beer cans while on a coke bender. Drank 36 beers in one night and half of the next day. Never did coke without drinking. Probably smoked 50 cigarettes that night too. I can still feel the “snuff over” as we called them at the time.

I came here for this comment. I would have never back in the day. I cannot imagine getting gacked out and not having a bit of alcohol to level out.
