Physicians: To blend vodka with energy drinks is dangerous
The use of alcohol blended with energy drinks, containing caffeine (such as Red Bull), is very dangerous, testify results of the special research conducted by British and American scientists.
Researchers have questioned 4271 students of the US universities, quarter of whom within a month prior to a questioning used a cocktail from vodka and such drink.
It was found out, that people who drink such cocktail are twice more predisposed to the traumas received in a state of alcoholic intoxication. Besides fans of vodka with Red Bull become more often victims of sexual violence in a state of intoxication.
The founder of the Drug addiction treatment center Life Works Don Serratt compares effect from blending of vodka with energy drink to effect from blending of cocaine and heroin. The stimulating energy drink and relaxing alcohol, in his opinion, make “rather dangerous cocktail”.
Research also has shown, that people drinking Red Bull with vodka use 36 percents more alcohol at a heat.
