Every college student should read this
article. Many college students rely on energy drinks to start their day or to keep themselves awake so they can get their work done. Red Bull energy drink and vodka have been a drink of choice the past few years for many college students. Researchers stood outside a bar in the middle of the night and had college students fill out a survey. Many had put down that they drink an energy drink mixed with alcohol. Researchers found that people who drink an energy drink with alcohol are three times more likely to be intoxicated than people who just drink alcohol. A more alarming fact is that people are four times likely to get in a car and drive drunk. This is because the caffeine from the energy drink eludes the fact that they are actually more sober than they are. Once more drunk driving occurs, it raises the possibility of a fatal accident occurring tremendously. When the researchers tested these people's blood alcohol content, their average reading was .109, and the legal limit is .08. These people are over the limit but say they feel fine because the caffeine in the drinks leads them to believe so. This was a very good article to read because many students have this for their drink of choice and it is very dangerous. Many students believe they are invincible and nothing bad can ever happen to them. I hope more students realize the harmful effects and practice safe behaviors while drinking and having a good time.
This is interesting information for all college students because whether they drink or not, they know someone who does. It's important for all adults to know that caffeinated alcoholic beverages like a vodka and redbull and the new 4 Loko drink are deadly combinations. I had no idea that people who drank caffeinated alcoholic beverages were actually more intoxicated than those who did not consume beverages with caffeine. Drunk driving is another consequence that most people don't think about when they are caffeinated and alcoholically induced because they are given the illusion that they are sober enough to drive. Being "sober enough" is never a safe alternative of driving while intoxicated.
