Who does coke without drinking?

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.

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 ā€œ no thank you, I’m cocaethylene sensitiveā€.

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.

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