Oh it's amazing. Especially if you drink a lot. I wouldn't be surprised to learn there are some amplifying chemical effects when combined similar to cocaine + alcohol -> cocaethylene

Personally I am the other side of what you said lol I can't imagine that people don't feel it or don't enjoy it!

addiction science is cool and evolving. i wonder if people have different inherent dopamine regulation/Glutamate chemistry in their brains causing this difference of 'fun' [1]

and or maybe it's like cocaine or opiates where some people have to do it a couple times to 'notice' the difference. and then that difference drives your life lol

Haha, that's how she and others I know who use it like that use it. I'm just happy she gets something out of it. I don't, and that's okay. I still have fun, just not with Addy.

Mixing uppers and downers feels fantastic when you get the dosages right. But it's absolutely horrific to be doing that to your body with any regularity.
