Energy Drinks Mixed With Alcohol Could Be Deadly

you have consumed.  Your blood alcohol concentrate can exceed legal and health-related levels, which makes for a very dangerous situation.
If the stimulant keeps you from knowing how impaired you are from the alcohol depressant, you won’t know just how impaired you are until the stimulant wears off, which can cause severe vomiting and is extremely dangerous if you are sleeping causing choking to death on your own vomit.
Both alcohol and caffeine are very dehydrating to the body.   Dehydration can hinder your body’s ability to metabolize alcohol in your system, which will increase the toxicity and have a much greater hangover the next day, which is actually the least of your problems if you experiment with mixing energy drinks with alcohol.

 

In reality, you would be much better off to:

 

·        Grab a small handful of walnuts, almonds or pumpkin seeds and a huge glass of water to increase your alertness or energy.

·        Another option would be to consume a protein source like a tuna or roast beef sandwich, hard boiled egg or even a protein shake. 

·        Protein has been proven to increase brain chemistry, which provides energy and alertness, so it makes a great, intelligent and healthy choice. 

·        Get more quality sleep and rest

·        take a good look at your exercise routine and all eating habits

·        or meet with a qualified professional to help you assess your situation
