Mixing Alcohol and Melatonin
DepressantDepressant
- Alcohol also called
- booze, beer, wine, liquor, ethanol, etoh
- Melatonin also called
- sleep hormone, circadin
Verdict
Low risk, increased effect
Additive sedation and impairment. Alcohol also fragments sleep architecture later in the night, so it works against the effect melatonin is being taken for. Low risk physically, but expect to be more impaired than either alone.
Can you mix Alcohol and Melatonin?
Low risk of harm, but the effects amplify each other. Doses that are fine alone can be far too much together.
