Cocaethylene
Combined alcohol and cocaine use is becoming a major concern to health services and drug and alcohol treatment agencies.
Addaction, a drug and alcohol treatment charity, believes the cocaethylene issue will emerge as a major health problem, namely liver failure, in the future if "recreational" cocaine users who go out binge drinking are not fully aware of the trouble they are storing up for their bodies.”
When cocaine is combined with alcohol, the frequency of emergency department presentations is significantly greater than when cocaine is used alone
The leaflet raises awareness and provides information on:
what it is
the effects
the risks
dependence warning signs
advice on how to control or stop cocaine and alcohol use
