I wouldn't use the two to get jacked up simultaneously, but there's nothing I love more than throwing back a few IPA's on the comedown of a trip, especially outdoors. That, and some good herb. But the shrooms stand alone until comedown, at least for me. Too many shitty interactions in the past, easier to deal with when returning to reality. Good luck.

no no, that mix is not good. Shrooms already lowers you blood pressure and sugar levels and mixing that with alcohol is defiantly not good.

I don't like to drink ANY alcohol during a mushroom trip. If I feel like I want something, I will smoke a little weed. That helps take the edge off any anxiety I might be feeling without making me feel sick or dulled like alcohol can.
But when I am coming down and feeling restless, I just love to drink a good beer or two.

I personally have mixed feelings about mixing alcohol and shrooms. Among trippers its almost taboo, but I think it has its place in limited cirumstances.
I would definetly not get totally trashed and try to trip. You will just get totally fucked up and get little benefit from the trip and probably end up puking your guts out in misery. However, a small amount of alcohol,like maybe one or two drinks at the most beforehand or at the come down (which can be uncomfortable for me), can reduce some anxiety and physical jitterness (or "bodyload") and allow one to enjoy the trip and even better assimilate what they've learned afterwards.
I must mention I have OCD and a fairly bad anxiety disorder though. I often take a small amount of a benzodiazepine (which I recommend over alcohol for this purpose) such as Xanax or Ativan. Not enough to get fucked up or anything (like 0.25-0.5 mg Xanax), but just enough to reduce some pre trip anxiety and take the edge off. I often get critized for this and its seen as a crutch, but I really do have better trips and I feel like I get more out of them. I'm a firm believer that one can learn a lot from so called "bad trips", but it's pretty hard to get anything out of it when you're shaking uncontrably and having a panic attack.(I'm not talking about facing scary things mentally, but rather physical anxiety if you know what I mean).
So basically if you have the idea that alcohol=good and shrooms=good, so alcohol+shrooms=great, you'll probably be in for a nasty suprise. But if you approach it in a respectful and cautious manner, and use strict moderation (like I said a drink or two) I think it will most likely be OK and perhaps even beneficial. Again I must stress that everyone is different though and I have an anxiety disorder, so don't think what works for me will necessarily apply to you.
Treat the shrooms with respect and they will respect you back...

The bads: I never peak as well. And while I still can have a good time it just seems to be missing that certain something if I drink some beers.
The Goods: A fridge with beer can be a nice to have as a backup if you are having a hard time sleeping later.
