Why would you willingly mix caffeine and alcohol :/
It's a classic mix of uppers/downers. Surely you've heard of popular mixes like vodka and red bull?
The alcohol fucks you up but it also makes you slower and more tired, that's where the caffeine comes in.
For me personally it can lead to getting blackout drunk, it's as if the brain has switched off but the body just keeps on going, which is usually followed by regret the next day.
I hear it being called killswitch
Why not?
Drinking even a single beer less than an hour after a coffee makes me and many others miserably sleepy and dizzy. Energy drinks don't seem to have the same effect though
What? It's fairly common and just fine imo
I've never done it but it supposedly makes you not feel drunk. You still totally are but it makes you feel sober so at least there's that?
I have done it, a shit load of times. It's not even close to healthy but I wouldn't say it makes me feel sober. It usually makes me feel absolutely shitfaced. The end result is usually lying in bed, the room is spinning but I can't fall asleep because I'm pumped full of energy drinks or drinking till like 6 or 7am for the same reasons. If I can't sleep I might as well carry on drinking.
Yeeeeaahhhh coffee and alcohol, super bad for you don’t do that
Why wouldn't you?
Idk... but now I have an urge to try it, with wine I mean, I have already tried whisky with coffee and similar stuff. Oh and I also tried that Jaggermaister with Coffee they sell already mixed, wasn't too bad as always needs to be freezer cool to be good.
Jägermeister? Or some weird knock off?
Yeah that one the original brand, I never write it right.
This variety is called cold brew coffee.
I used to drink vodka and red bull when I wanted to learn how to swear in other languages playing CS:GO. Most euro premades had one person that spoke enough english for us to get through the game. Fun shit.
Its a normie speedball super common
To get up to get down?
