Substituted [[alcohols]], which include some depressants and euphoriants, are derivatives of ethanol. Most alcohols are significantly more potent than ethanol (e.g. 2M2B requires 20 times lower dose), which provides minimal energy intake. | Substituted [[alcohols]], which include some depressants and euphoriants, are derivatives of ethanol.

===Caffeinated alcohol=== | ===Cannabis=== | ||
A tincture is typically an alcoholic extract of plant or animal material or solution. Example, [[green dragon tek|cannabis tincture]]. | |||
To qualify as an alcoholic tincture, the extract should have an [[ethanol]] percentage of at least 40-60% or 80-120 proof. Sometimes even a 90% or 180 proof tincture is achieved.<ref name="ReferenceA">Groot Handboek Geneeskrachtige Planten by Geert Verhelst</ref> | |||
===Stimulants=== | |||
It is not recommended to combine stimulants and depressants. Stimulants in combination with alcohol have been proven to be particularly risky to use. This section is only added to list notable known alcohol-stimulant combinations, since they have dedicated Wikipedia articles. | |||

In 2010 and 2011, this type of beverage faced criticism for posing health risks to their drinkers. Alcohol and caffeine are both psychoactive drugs, drugs that are mixed are referred to as [[poly drug use]].
