Deadly Drink="Alcohol + EnergyDrinks"


College students often mix alcohol with energy drinks so that they can drink more and longer, researchers say, but the strategy can lead to more alcohol-related injuries, too.students who mixed alcohol and drinks like Red Bull had double the risk of being hurt or injured, requiring medical attention, driving with an intoxicated driver, being taken advantage of sexually, or taking advantage of another sexually.Its surprising that the risk of serious and potentially deadly consequences is so much higher for those who mixed energy drinks with alcohol, even if we adjust the amount of alcohol. Only the symptoms of drunkenness are reduced -- but not the drunkenness. They can't tell if they're drunk; they can't tell if someone else is drunk. So they get hurt, or they hurt someone else. Mixing is more prevalent among males, whites, older students, intramural athletes, and fraternity/sorority members and pledges.
