Been on EFXR for a few months now, a 'sub-thereputic' 37.5 is doing the trick for me. I'm a big fan but I am aware that, for me, I have to watch my partying. I just don't enjoy getting real wasted like before. I have a couple of theories; first, as my depression has lifted, I just don't feel the need to numb myself out like I used to. I also do think the EFXR has an interaction effect like the often-mentioned caffiene sensitivity (switching to 25% decaf in the mix took care of that problem)and I feel really crappy the next day of I over-indulge. I have just about never drank to the excess of being hung-over (well, maybe a few times back in college 25 years ago!)but if I drink more than a couple of glasses of wine I'll feel a bit crummy the next day. Mix it with a joint and it's not so good. I guess moderation is best for me; I'm trying to see if sticking to only smoking or only drinking in any given evening is easier on me. Remember that alcohol is a depressent so it stands to reason that if we're all trying to rid ourselves of mental depression we should try and avoid ingesting depressing alcohol.
