~~Holy balony.~~

~~Cocaine and alcohol do not exist in sufficient concentration in the body for chemical compounds between the two of them to form.~~
Interactions between drugs no not occur by the formation of new chemical compounds, but by the differeing physiological effects that they cause individually.
Pure alcohol can be used for the recrystallization of cocaine.

I've referenced this in the articles for deletion page. It is factually accurate. Suggest using google next time you dispute something. Internodeuser 13:44, 24 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest you put the references in the article instead of leaving it for someone else to do so (and that you learn some manners). Physchim62 17:14, 24 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Sorry, a bit of laziness there. Was trying to think how to put that. Thought it was best not to put it in the article first, out of respect for you. 203.26.206.129 08:24, 25 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- - Generally, drug interaction is, indeed, caused by the additive or multiplicative physiological effects of the independent drugs. In this case however, the science is clear, that a new, active metabolite is formed. benzoylecgonine <> cocaethylene https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/neuroscience/cocaethylene

Cocaethylene and Acid in your body?

Can Cocaethylene cause gout or acid reflux in a persons body? Email me if anyone knows Trav79nc@hotmail.com

Recreational drug?

The article seems to refer to this metabolite as though it were available as a street drug. It was my understanding during my brief and rather elementary studies of pharmacology and behavioral neuroscience that this substance forms within the body itself while drinking ethyl alcohol and using cocaine, and the subsequent effects in terms of mood and myocardial oxygen demand are the result of combining those two substances, not from taking cocaethylene.

I do believe the quotations as in tests where users felt more euphoria with cocaethylene are from controlled, side-by-side experiments where cocaethylene was created independently and administered in comparative doses as with cocaine to find which was more subjectively euphoric on its own. Not through one user consuming alcohol with cocaine and another cocaine independent of alcohol. 184.76.53.217 (talk) 04:02, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

They have also taken blood samples and found this chemically different metabolite (active) when testing live individuals and corpses. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7870932/
