...> I have had folks tell me SSRI's can be a potentiator for alcohol. I tend to believe that. I find smaller amounts of alcohol have an impact greater than they should and the hangover intensity and time lasting is worse.

Fwiw, effexor isn't an ssri, but I did NOT have a similar experience with it - didn't notice a difference - w/respect to alcohol consumption.
