I have to dissapoint you: no hallucinations. No chemical reaction either between alcohol and aspirin. But there have been some indications that patients who consume alcohol at the same time they are taking aspirin have an increased risk of damage to the intestinal lining, including ulcers and GI bleeding.

There are some benefits from taking one or the other separately and moderately, but not together:
