NO GO FOR BOOZE AND ENERGY DRINKS COMBO

If you are in college or used to be, it's no secret that partying is the most sought activity in the school with study showing that highest consumption of booze occurs at campus parties. So what really happens there?
All the games and fun comprises mostly of downing on booze and recently there have been a trend in mixing the booze with energy drinks. A study published in the Journal of Adolescent , confirms that mixing of caffeinated energy drinks and booze is ultimately risky to one's health. How?

Well, the study indicates that drinking the mixture makes one less drunk than drinking the alcohol by itself and a a result one continues to down on more alcohol. In the end the amount of alcohol in their systems is high hence leading to health risks. "This can have serious potential health impacts, for example if people don't realize how intoxicated they actually are and decide to drive home,"said Megan Patrick, a research assistant professor and co-author of the study at the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan.
