Help Alcohol and N help

[nihilistic_dragon]

So some say a drink after N helps, some say it's not really necessary. I think I may want to play it safe and wash N down with alcohol. However, I have a problem. I am a non-drinker. Never ever drank in my life. Any advice on how to train myself to tolerate it? How long in advance should I start my training, months or weeks or days? Also, I know virtually nothing about alcohol - any recs on what exactly I should drink?

I've heard cider is nice. You could try drinking low alcohol drinks too but I don't know if they'd be as effective as normal alcoholic drinks

Thanks. I'll research about cider. I think the recommendation is to have a fairly strong drink.

What exactly is drinking alcohol after taking N purported to do? It's supposed to help what exactly? Just dull the nasty taste of the N? It's not reported to help potentiate the N, right? Is it more for a "last drink on the planet earth" kind of thing?

According to PHH, it helps mask the nasty taste of N, yes. And also helps speed N's action.

This other book I've read suggests mixing N with "peach or apricot nectar" to mask the taste - although I don't think mixing it with anything is a good idea since it increases the volume of the lethal drink, so more nasty stuff to gulp up. That book doesn't recommend alcohol as it is not clear if it helps significantly or not and in what dosage, plus it may also increase the risk of vomiting. The book is quite old though, so idk.

Supposedly it makes the effects happen sooner is what some have said, basically making the person fall asleep faster.

You realize that N is much worse tasting than alcohol, right? If you find 40% alcohol such as whiskey hard to drink, your biggest challenge will be drinking the N, not the alcohol.

No, I am really stupid and was waiting for you to point that out. Thank you so much for this moment of epiphany!

Chloraseptic spray can do that, too. Altoids also. Don't remember reading in the PPH that alcohol potentiates N. I'll take your word for it, though.

How would I know if you are stupid or not without knowing you? There have been plenty of stupid questions on this site so I don't assume everyone here is sharp. There have been people who failed to drink the N due to taste. Worrying about whether you will be able to drink 20-30 ml alcohol as a chaser when you first have to drink 200-250 ml of an extremely unpleasant substance, that even alcohol drinkers find hard to drink, indeed does sound a bit stupid to me.
Also, both benzos and alcohol have a very small cross-tolerance with N, so same as they tell you not to take benzos for a few weeks prior to N, I would certainly not practice with alcohol for a few weeks prior to N. It is a small cross-tolerance so it might not make a huge difference but that is what I will go for. And yes, worrying about drinking the alcohol (which is not even necessary) versus drinking the N, is on the stupid spectrum for me, personally.

Hello, I don't have access to PPH. Can you tell me a little more about the methods to find N please?

The spray and the altoids mask the taste? That's new information to me, thank you! PPH does mention that alcohol potentiates N, I just checked again. However, my notes say interactions with alcohol may occur if you're taking antiemetics. Boy I need to go and do some serious reading again. I may be better off skipping the alcohol altogether after all.

There are links to PPH on this forum I believe. The editions are outdated but just read the most recent one. It's the best we can do - most of the information will still be relevant.

Yeah, the chloraseptic and altoids, amongst other things, have been discussed as "helping" to reduce the nastiness of the taste. I just don't remember about the alcohol as I haven't read the PPH in a while and lost my copy due to a hard drive failure. I could definitely see how someone might want to have a drink, or two, or more, before ctb with any method, though. Personally, I don't drink, and haven't, since I gave it up 30 years ago.

You can't download it through the sticky link anymore at the beginning of this section? I have no idea how to get N. I think you have to travel to S. America or something.

Great to know about the chloraseptic and altoids, I'm going to look into it more. Definitely would rather avoid alcohol since I also don't drink.

The taste of N is bad but bearable. I have tried a bottle that had expired.

Good to know. Do you plan to wash it down with anything? Alcohol, some have suggested altoids, etc?

Between the moment you drink N and the moment you fall asleep you have two or three minutes... you don't have time for that.

Lost my old account so i created this new one. I decided to open one of my backup bottles to check the taste of the Veterinary liquid N /pentobarbital (Halatal) and see if its really bad. I just drink a tiny sip to check. Overall, its NOT that bad, it looks like a weaker/mild version of a cheap...

Amazing, thanks so much for sharing that. Will be reading through it now. Right off the bat though - how exactly does the numbing of the tongue help, wouldn't it make it more difficult to swallow? Sorry if it's a dumb question. But I've never had any lidocaine yet and not sure how it works. I'm just kind of thinking like anesthesia numb, it's difficult to drink anything. Edit: found my answer in that thread!

Between the moment you drink N and the moment you fall asleep you have two or three minutes... you don't have time for that.

I haven't re-read PHH lately, but I thought it takes slightly more than 2-3 mins? More like 15?
Edit: I guess it depends on the person. Watched the video in that thread. The sweet lady passed out in just a few minutes. I hope I go just as easily.
