This question is bothering me right now… because I'm worried and scared for my girlfriend. Over time, I've noticed that she's no longer able to control her alcohol consumption.

A friend of mine consumes relatively often and occasionally mixes Recently she asked me what would happen if I mixed speed alcohol and MMA I could only tell her that with speed and alcohol she doesn't notice the alcohol But what happens when you mix them? Does anyone have any experience with this?
