== My Experience ==

=== Overall Experience ===

Alcohol mostly just amplified the effects of the zopiclone.

There wasn't anything particularly unique about the combination, but it was enjoyable. The biggest difference compared to zopiclone alone was just how impaired I became physically. Walking in a straight line became pretty difficult and I felt much more intoxicated than either drug would normally make me feel by itself.

Overall it wasn't anything crazy, just a stronger zopiclone.

=== What I Enjoyed ===

* More relaxing than either alone.
* Pleasant sedation.
* Mild euphoria.

=== What I Didn't Enjoy ===

* Very poor coordination.
* Easy to lose balance.
* Not functional.

=== Would I Do It Again? ===

'''Yes''' / No / Maybe
