Energy drinks like Red Bull can be hazardous to your health when mixed with alcohol. There are lots of people out there who mix alcoholic beverages with energy drinks, without realising the consequences. Popular energy drinks such as Red Bull, Rockstar, Full Throttle and Monster are a common choice of ‘mixers’ for alcoholic beverages, but this may pose several health risks.
Roger A. Clemens, from the University of Southern California’s School of Pharmacy says, “You can hinder your respiration, from a public health perspective, you should not mix stimulants with alcohol. When you combine those two together, you always have a risk”.
According to Clemens, some major concerns with mixing these 2 drinks include, cardiovascular risk, impaired judgment, dizziness, shortness of breath, rapid heart beat and disorientation.
You should not mix caffeine with alcohol as mixing mixing high levels of caffeine with alcoholic beverages can be dangerous for your body. It impairs your judgement and causes you to think that you are less drunk because you are more awake.
A Brazilian study found that college students didn’t quite think themselves to be as intoxicated as they really were. The study showed that drinking alcohol and Red Bull together significantly reduces the perception of headache, weakness, impairment of motor coordination and dry mouth.
The study also found that people who combine alcohol with energy drinks are at a greater risk for automobile accidents also because they believe they are less impaired than they actually are.
