Alcohol and Energy Drinks Don’t Mix Be aware of the dangers of drinking alcohol mixed with caffeine or energy drinks. Dangers of Mixing Alcohol and Caffeine The Dietary Guidelines for Americans cautions against mixing alcohol with caffeine.
• When alcohol is mixed with caffeine, the caffeine can mask the depressant effects of alcohol. It makes drinkers feel more alert than they would otherwise. As a result, they may drink more alcohol and become more impaired than they realize. It increases the risk of alcohol-attributable harms.
• Caffeine has no effect on the metabolism of alcohol by the liver. It does not reduce breath or blood alcohol concentrations (it does not “sober you up”). It also does not reduce impairment due to alcohol consumption. Dangers of Mixing Alcohol and Energy Drinks
• Energy drinks typically contain caffeine, plant-based stimulants, simple sugars, and other additives.
• Mixing alcohol with energy drinks is a popular practice, especially among young people in the United States. In 2015, 13.0% of students in grades 8, 10, and 12 and 33.5% of young adults aged 19 to 28 reported consuming alcohol mixed with energy drinks at least once in the past year.
• Drinkers who mix alcohol with energy drinks, compared to drinkers who do not mix, are more likely to report unwanted or unprotected sex, driving drunk or riding with a driver who was intoxicated, or sustaining alcohol-related injuries.
