I used to work with an alcoholic, she would make coffee with wine in the mornings, just like a spoon full of instant coffee in a mug of wine. And in the afternoon she would walk around with a fork in her mug like she had a cup of noddles. After she was there for like 2 years my boss asked me if I think she was an alcoholic and I started laughing, he legit had nfi she had been drunk every day for the last 2 years

I can’t even think of a sadder drink than that.

That's easy: the mix of puke, stomach acid, bits of whatever you last ate and the last couple of drinks and beer/wine you had, because you're damn sure not wasting that precious alcohol!

Another one: the room temp leftovers of all the beers and other drinks from the night/weekend poured into a pint when you're cleaning up. The Hangover Special! Yummy. Bonus points if there's a cigarette/joint butt in there somewhere that you fish out because you didn't notice someone had used that can as an ashtray. Delicious!

Why would you willingly mix caffeine and alcohol :/

[–] 13esq@lemmy.world 33 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

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.

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

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 9 points 2 years ago

What? It's fairly common and just fine imo

[–] gothicdecadence@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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?

[–] Afghaniscran@feddit.uk 14 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[–] Dontfearthereaper123@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

Why wouldn't you?

[–] XTornado@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] lol3droflxp@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Jägermeister? Or some weird knock off?

[–] XTornado@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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.
