Adderall Abuse includes mixing alcohol with the drug According to 2008 study from Dalhouise University in Canada, when drinking on Adderall people think they are not as drunk but the alcohol still has the same affect on their body and can lead to alcohol poisoning without the person even realizing that they are wasted. Most cases of mixing medication with alcohol, around 80 percent, is when people take Adderall after they start drinking.
