psychedelics & alcohol

I was at a party this weekend at which I got a little too drunk for the venue (such that I almost got thrown out or worse, if I hadn't left of my own will). But about an hour into the party, already drunk, I took about 5g of the Amanitas Mushroom. I got very sick that night, vomiting frequently. Whether it was the mushrooms or the alcohol, I don't know, but when I explained the situation to a friend the next morning, he was appalled. I said I had done shrooms (for the sake of simplification, I didn't specifiy what type) and consumed alcohol. The friend said there was a high chance of my dying or ending up in an ER that night. I was just wondering if A) What I had done was really that dangerous andB) If I had done that same combination, but with psilocybin mushrooms, if the risk would be that great.
Thanks,
nick

Not a risk, your friend sounds like a huge pussy. When in doubt wait it out, you don't want the hospital to flag you as a drug user or else the doctors will all be giving you high fives whenever they see you out at the bars. Unless you're fucking with painkillers, then dump as much of it out of your system via vomit as possible and use some milk to neutralize the acid and drugs that might be coating your throat.

Nick,
my main point would be this. if u r takn nice shrooms, u dont need to mix it with shit. that shit can be awesom by itself. and safe as fuck. people generally dont die from that stuff. the alcohol fucked u up.
the book says that shrooms are one of the least addictive things out there also..
but there was one fuked up reference to one of eddie's boy who took shrooms while he had mono.. the kid didnt know he was sick... that mono kept the shrooms in his body for 3 days - what was said to be the most fuked up 3 days of his life...

Well I generally don't mix anything with alcohol except weed, which goes nicely, but the concern here was that security at the party was pretty tight (country club scenario) and I had already been talked to by security a few times, so I was worried about being searched and caught with them, so I took them mainly to be avoid a worse situation, which only made sense because I was drunk first.

Three day shroom trip. That's amazing, in a scary kind of way.

dont hold shit on your person. or in your car... reference my story in "crime and punishment" topic... u can go to jail for a long time... do drugs before u go out... or let someone else hold shit for you...
also ... never let anyone search you.

I know it's been a long time since the original post posted, but I thought I would mention that Amanita mushrooms should never be combined with alcohol in any amount.

Amanitas are considerably liver toxic, and, well, so is alcohol. The two together fuck your liver like it's going out of style.

Taking psilocybin mushrooms with alcohol isn't really advisable just because as someone previously mentioned, psilocybes are quite enough on their own. Drinking before or during the experience usually muddles whatever useful thoughts one might have. I find that a beer (or two) at the end of a trip is a nice way to come down to earth and start getting ready for bed.

As for eating the mushrooms to avoid getting caught...Amanita mushrooms are entirely legal. There was no reason at all to eat them. Original poster was just drunk.
