Mixing alcohol and Adderall can be dangerous due to their opposing effects on the body. Adderall is a stimulant that increases alertness and energy, while alcohol is a depressant that slows brain function. When taken together, Adderall can mask the effects of alcohol, leading individuals to drink more than they realize and increasing the risk of alcohol poisoning. This combination can also strain the heart, raise blood pressure, and increase the risk of dehydration and poor judgment. For students and young people, mixing these substances may also worsen mental health and concentration. Understanding these risks is important for making safe, informed health decisions.
