No. Alcohol can't work independently of its downsides. The next-best but also-bad thing is probably GHB or ketamine or something like that. Basically any CNS depressant is going to have some significant dangers, short or long term.

Maybe meditation can get you there safely?

Wherever "there" may be, meditation is a much healthier path, for sure.

Yes. Crossfade. You will feel both much more strongly without experiencing the excess downside the next day.

What does that mean, crossfade?

Have some marijuana and alcohol. Good results for me were two beers and a few puffs.

This has me cracking up. Problems with alcohol? Have you tried smoking pot at the same time?

If you want the effects of alcohol without the downside, this is a much healthier way to get stronger effects. That's pretty reasonable, no? I'm not suggesting this as treatment for an alcoholic.

You can actually make ethanol into a vapor you can inhale, but unfortunately I assume that only makes it even more dangerous.

Perfectly safe. Just make sure there's no ignition source

I'm only speculating, but I assume it's a lot easier to consume in excess with this method before you'd feel sick. I feel nausea if I drink too much too quickly, not sure if I'd get that with inhaling it.

I do want to give it a try some time though.

Alcohol enemas would be another ingestion alternative - though my understanding is that there's a lot of risk there. Apparently when you drink to much there's a chance you'll throw up - on the other end that won't happen so over consumption is pretty risky.

Yeah, it's called being "California sober" (marijuana and/or psychedelics).
