Is it better or worse to be pissed before you take pills?

I'd be interested to find out what the answer is and whether being drunk before actually makes a big difference to your behaviour or not. In Ibiza, alcohol help totally illiminate my nerves about taking my first pill and it put me in a great mood and it was a brilliant night!! Every other time i took pills i was drunk before. Except Cream @ Amnesia (the only time to date i've taken them sober). We dropped in the apartment before we went to get a taxi. I only did a half, and i was a little nervious because I was stone cold sober. And after about 30 mins I started feeling wierd. I think looking back on it, this was me coming up, but I didn't know that it felt like this. So I thought I wasn't feeling that well so I chilled for a bit. Then we got our taxi and went to Amnesia. But in the queue I started feeling a bit sick and dizzy. So I went off to a quiet bit to sit and chill out. I must have been there for about 45 minutes. Some asked if i was OK but I said I was fine. Then eventually I managed to get into the queue but I was paranoid about getting in cos I felt so wierd so I thought I might look totally fucked. Although my jaw or anything wasn't going. I got in fine and then after that it was a decent night. But not as good as times where ive been pretty damn drunk before. What do u all think?

From a purely health POV, you shouldn't really mix alcohol and pills, the diuretic (dehydrating) effect of alcohol is amplified by the pills and could lead to severe dehydration, which is one of the main dangers of pills.

Being pissed makes it more dangerous cos it can add to the problem of hyperthermia (overheating). Alcohol dehydrates you as well and when you dancing on E and sweating a lot this only contributes. Alcohol is a depressant and ecstasy is a stimulant. Not a good mixture. In fact alcohol is one of the worst drugs to mix with any other drugs let alone E. GHB (sometimes called liquid E, although it is radically different than E) can be extremely dodgy when mixed with alcohol.

I find when your pissed and do a pill you lose the pissed feeling altogether anyway. When I go out raving or clubbing I drink a couple of alcoholic drinks at the start such as a Smirnoff ICE (beers foul on pills), then I sip water throughout the rest of the night.

Coming up or the "feeling a bit pear shaped" as my mates say is always dodgy at first and you'll get used to it but it will never go away. I almost always feel like it when coming up but you learn to enjoy it! Trust me. You'll get a lot cleaner experience if you don't drink aswell.

yeah i know what you mean about feelin a bit sick when coming up, i get it every time but i find the best thing to do is either start dancing and forget about it, or sit down and chill for a while depending on your mood. Also i don't usually drop till i'm in the club cos i get paranoid if i start coming up in a queue

Well I'm gonna give the carryout a miss for once then, come Judge Jules on the 24th. Yeh I know all about alcohol dehydrating u and that, but I never drink alcohol after i've dropped. When I'm coming up I always have to sit down for a bit to stablise myself. Heheh, at Sasha, I came up really strongly and need to be sick, so I just went and spewed and then I was totally fine and went back out! If u ever feel sick, let it come up cos u feel a lot better!

I usually have about 3 pints (for social value as not all my mates take XTC) and when I drop I stop drinking and then stay on the tablets. There have been times when I have been very drunk on tablets and have woken up at 8am on a shop doorstep in a puddle of my own vomit! Its not a good idea!

Personally i don't drink anymore on pills. I might have a snifter of port or two to get the social evening going but then stick to the soft stuff like water or red bull. I try to stay clear of fizzy stuff like coke (mmmmmmm cocaine) coz i make my little tummy icky dick on pillsw. Sorry, getting back. By staying off the alcohol i've found i have a better night, have more energy to dance, can walk properly, can talk properly!, remember the night better and don't wake up in shop doorways covererd in my own vomit.

i wouldnt advise it at all. One time when i was totally pissed after mixin malibu and vodka, i had just one pill and i cant remeber the rest of the night. I know that i got into a fight but only because my mates told me. I had hallucinations and could have got myself into some real trouble. I will never get pissed and have pills again.
