How do you know which substance to put your pill in?

Generally most benzos don’t dissolve in water. However benzos can be suspended by fat, so the process of milk titration was borne. The benzo "sticks" to the fat in full-fat milk and that helps to have an even distribution of the benzo in the liquid.

Similarly, most benzos are also soluble in alcohol, so this is why some people choose to use a very small amount (just a couple of mls) of an alcohol like vodka to dissolve the benzo and then they top up with water. Having a larger volume of liquid (eg 100ml) makes reducing by small amounts much easier.

Whichever method you use is purely personal choice, and that includes doing a cut and hold or Ashton taper.
