Energy Drink and Alcohol
A particularly dangerous trend among young people is brewing. Many of them are drinking combination of “energy drink” and alcohol.
Alcohol has a depressant effect that causes fatigue which slows down the amount of drinking. But a partygoer or bar patron who consumes “energy drink” high in caffeine will stay awake longer. This is combination is potentially dangerous.
Some of the “energy drink” contains as much 150 to 280 mg of caffeine which is more than the caffeine of brewed coffee which is 107 mg and drip coffee 145 mg.
