==Polysubstance use==

===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.

====Caffeinated alcohol====

See also: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_caffeinated_alcoholic_drinks List of caffeinated alcoholic drinks (Wikipedia)]

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caffeinated_alcoholic_drink Caffeinated alcoholic drinks] combine [[alcohol]], [[caffeine]], and the ingredients of energy drinks into one drink. 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]]. As a response, the US Food and Drug Administration introduced a caffeinated alcohol drinks ban.

===Coca wine===

====Coca wine====

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coca_wine Coca wine] is an alcoholic beverage combining wine with cocaine. One popular brand was ''Vin Mariani'', developed in 1863 by French-Corsican chemist and entrepreneur Angelo Mariani.<ref name=cocaineorg>{{cite web| url = http://www.cocaine.org/cocawine.htm | title = Coca Wine | publisher = cocaine.org | accessdate = 2007-02-12}}</ref>

Cocaine and ethanol forms [[cocaethylene]] which is more toxic than cocaine or ethanol when used separately.

===Nicotini===

====Nicotini====

A [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicotini nicotini] is any alcoholic drink which includes nicotine as an ingredient. Its name is modeled after the word "martini" in the fashion of such drinks as the appletini. In places which ban smoking, use of the nicotini provides those addicted to [[nicotine]] with the opportunity to manage cravings without stepping outside to smoke.
