Energy drinks, alcohol when combines is hazardous

EnergyIt has been stated by a study that there is a trend of consuming alcohol and energy drinks together.

The combination is hazardous as it gives a stronger kick to people who drink as compared to consuming alcohol alone. Study researcher Cecile Marczinski, PhD, an assistant professor of psychology at Northern Kentucky University, added that with drinking comes lack of inhibitions and impulsivity and no effect is seen on these.

She said, “Even alcohol alone will make you feel stimulated and happy. Mixing in the energy drink makes that more pronounced. Energy drinks have tons of caffeine in them, more than mixing a soft drink in alcohol.”

It was also added that people who drink the combination of energy drinks and alcohol feel that they are not that impaired but cannot decide that what they are doing is right or wrong as the combination is highly impulsive and stimulated.

There has been an attraction among people in recent years to mix energy drinks and alcohol and this is not good.

Little research has been conducted despite the various hazardous effects this combination has on people.
