Nembutal and alcohol?

[HannibalLector]

"Barbiturates" may be additive with or may potentiate the action of other CNS depressants including other sedatives or hypnotics, antihistamines, tranquilizers, and alcohol.
American Society of Health System Pharmacists; AHFS Drug Information 2009. Bethesda, MD. (2009), p. 2578

It is usually recommended to drink some alcohol immediately after (not prior) to the Nembutal ingestion to potentiate its effect and mask the very bitter taste.

"While these barbiturates were highly effective sleeping tablets, a significant problem was the very serious side-effect associated with their overdose - death. This was found to be especially true if the pills were taken with alcohol.

Does anyone know if it's really bad idea to drink alcohol before taking N? My SI sometimes are too much, so I would like to do after I numb myself with alcohol, which is when I usually feel the most at ease to do it.

alcohol is also drank just prior to numb your taste buds and was filmed in Switzerland with such order

however, the idea is not to get intoxicated ahead of time through large volume. you don't want to increase the odds to vomit

Wouldn't good dose of anti-emetics prevent vomiting even with the intoxication?

no, not necessarily. The efficiency of anti-emetics remains arguable / overrated
