Alcohol And Energy Drinks

Energy drinks are reaching their peak in popularity and continue to sell mass quantities to their youthful target audience. The most popular of the new wave of energy drinks is Red Bull, the drink that promises to give its drinkers wings. Venom, Adrenaline Rush, 180, ISO Sprint and Erektus are the names of some the other popular energy drinks out on the market. These drinks claim to stimulate the mind and body plus provide a boost of energy but can have adverse effects when mixed with alcohol. Lately college students and teens have been mixing these energy drinks with alcohol as a means of getting a high without getting sleepy. Steve Clarke, director of the College Alcohol Abuse Prevention Center, said students need to be careful about mixing these energy drinks with alcohol. Fatigue is the body's way of saying it's had enough to drink and it's dangerous to continue to try to fool your body that you're not as drunk as you really are, he said. "Even though (the energy drink) has stimulants in it, the alcohol is still going to have similar effects on you," Clarke said. "You may feel more alert but actually the alcohol is having the same effect on you. So you might perceive that you are less impaired when in actuality you are not less impaired."
