What kind of impact on the intoxication rate does mixing alcohol with other drugs have?

The impact of intoxication rate by mixing other drugs with alcohol can vary depending on the drugs used. Mixing Adderall, for instance, with alcohol can mask the effect and make a person seem less intoxicated, when they are in fact at the same level of intoxication as they would be without the drug; this can often lead to alcohol poisoning. Mixing Xanax can increase the effect of both the alcohol and the drug causing dangerous side effects.
