Adderall is psycho-active stimulant whilst alcohol is a depressant. People who take Adderall and alcohol together have more of a capacity to drink as they don't quite feel so knackered and sloshed, as Adderall makes them a lot more awake. They feel a heightened sense of perception and can go on talking for hours saying the most brilliant things probably, getting aggressive easily. But it can be rather dangerous as the combination of alcohol and Adderall is most likely to egg you on into thinking that you can drink a lot, and you end up drinking more than your capacity really. And to top it, it can lead to alcohol poisoning placing a lot of health risks that are bound to eventually get into your way if you're habituated to it.

Through Hell and No Water
Both Adderall and alcohol make your body dehydrated and your throat as dry as sand. Quite often, people who take it and dance a lot or do any kind of rigorous physical activity, stand a desert snakebite of a risk of having their body chronically dehydrated. If you've been mixing alcohol and Adderall, having coffee would make the dehydration worse.

Not So Heartening
Alcohol and Adderall interaction forces your heartbeat a lot more rapidly like a bullet-train, taking in a lot of oxygen, that can be very harmful for your body. There can further lead to a sudden increase in blood pressure too. There are risks of heart attack and a stroke, if Adderall and alcohol are combined. It can be scarily fatal for people who have a history of heart problems.

Belting down more than You can Drink
If you're into the habit of mixing both, it is better you either cut down your drinks a bit or your Adderall dosage. Usually, when you take Adderall and then want to drink, you wouldn't quite hold your horses with drinking till you fall asleep or pass out. And the amount of Adderall doesn't quite reverse the adverse effects of alcohol on your body.

Patterning on an Insomniac
People on prolonged periods of having Adderall and alcohol together can start experiencing strange patterns with their sleep. For instance, you could be lying on your bed wanting so desperately hard to sleep but not able to do so because of the Adderall ignoring your physical exhaustion and keeping you mentally stimulated in a way that it overpowers all other mechanisms of your brain that would usually feel exhausted causing insomnia. Your sleep pattern takes a while to revert to being normal after a couple or more days, if you've been mixing both heavily. Your immune system weakens due to long term effects of lack of sleep, giving you a burned out feeling and making you feel an awful load of fatigue due to low energy levels.

No Food for Thought
Prolonged use of Adderall, alcohol can also lead to psychosis, delirium and hallucinations as your body fails to cope with the loss of nutrients due to constant exhaustion and a very low appetite. Adderall increases the levels of magnesium in your blood, significantly lowering the ration of the calcium to the magnesium. Adderall also tends to repress your appetite. And when you're drinking a lot, it is best to eat healthy. But when your appetite is lost and you tend to take both frequently, you should certainly give it a break and make sure you eat the right sort of foods so your body receives the nourishment it needs without causing further damage.

If you have a history of drug-abuse or mental health disorders and other health problems already then Adderall, alcohol effortlessly drag you into a sickening downward spiral- physically and psychologically. And it isn't the greatest thing.
