MDMA and Alcohol
Rough, rarely deadly on its own.
Why this happens
Worsens dehydration, masks how intoxicated you are, and deepens the next-day crash. It works against the two things that keep you safe: fluid balance and self-awareness.
What this means in practice
Not among the most dangerous mixes, but it stacks risks. Keep doses low, stay cool and hydrated, and keep checking in on how you feel.
Information, not medical advice. Threshold does not promote or encourage MDMA use. This exists so that people who make their own choices can make safer, better-informed ones. It is not a substitute for professional care.
