I think you are playing with fire. I can understand completely about wanting to have a few drinks, esp in college, but it could end badly. With all the downers you are taking, everything is most likely going to get amplified. I am not an expert as to what amounts get dangerous, but just with the variety you are taking...pretty scary.
If you go ahead and do it anyway, at the very least in the beginning try and take just a little alcohol in a safe environment with one or two friends. But even if this ends ok, beware of differences in terms of full stomach vs empty, being tired/overworked, etc.
I never had sedating drugs with alcohol, it was SSRIs--a different effect. At first I thought there was no difference, but in retrospect I realized the drinking was more impulsive, and my actions during drinking became impulsive. I have heard others say they get really wild with this combo....
I am alive, but have so many unspeakably embarrassing incidents happen in front of a whole bunch of people that will haunt me to my grave....
