It depends on the nootropic but many will increase the effects on alcohol if taken at the same time.

The answer is a given.

I find that I drink less if I am also taking nootropics, because they seem to increase the strength of the alcohol. Isn't this a good thing? Isn't piracetam supposed to protect the brain from damage?

Yes many have been well studied in preventing and treating alcohol induced damage.

I find alchol and piracetam mix well. You end up drinking less so i figure by combining the two you are being healthy. When you go out drinking you are going out to socialise, meet new people and have interesing converstations piracetam is beneficial in these situations and i find makes me a far more interesting person. Ive read warning about not combining the two but have not seen any evidence to support this anyone seen differently?
Also i read pyritinol is a good drug to take if suffering a hangover. Would it make sense to take it before drinking?
