According to research published by Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research , study participants who drank that blend also had significantly higher scores on the taste for cocktail and more desire to drink more than the same as those who ate only alcohol. 

  • According to an Australian study conducted with people between 18 and 30 years old. 
  • Those who mix more like cocktails and more desire to drink more the same as those who only drink alcohol. 
  • The popularity of the mix could exacerbate alcohol damage to young people.


" However, it can happen that people who drink more often are more likely to drink alcohol and energy drinks, other things. If it is the case that energy drinks increase the drunkenness,


As they become intoxicated they are likely to drink more in a cycle of increased intoxication. "We find that when people combine alcohol and energy drinks they have a greater desire to continue drinking than if they drink alcohol alone," McKetin sums up. To this, Miller adds that a greater need to drink has important implications, especially when one thinks about the nature of episodes of consumption. 

"As people get intoxicated, even at low levels, they show less inhibitions and are likely to drink more in a cycle of increased intoxication,"

 he argues. Thus, he warns that the more drunk you are, the more likely you are to suffer an injury, to be a victim or to start a fight, Or even having to take you home while intoxicated, in addition to making bad decisions about the people you relate to or certain sexual behaviors. "If we consider that research has shown much higher rates of consumption among people attending licensed places, this study suggests the need for our policy makers to take this issue seriously ," adds Peter G. Miller, Associate professor of psychology at Deakin University in Australia.
