    Default So, how bad is it, really?

    This is more of a health issue so I thought it'd be appropriate here..

    Mixing alcohol (downer) with energy drinks (upper)? Besides the obvious fact that some may see it as being drunk but still being awake enough to drive a car (for example).. besides that what possible short or long term health effects does drinking it really have for you? I'm not able to find any info on the 'net! weird..

    I'd imagine that'd have to be hard on the liver and kidneys.

    Probably just the summation of their individual effects.

    Well, figure one is trying to speed up your heart rate and one is trying to slow it down. Dontcha imagine that in itself is a problem? Not in the cancelling each other out way. But in the fucking up your body's natural responses kinda way.

    Huh, I wouldn't think it'd be that much of an issue, as long as you don't over-do it. Both are drugs, so neither one is really, actually -good- for your body. Everything in moderation, y'know?

    Curious why you ask...

    It is the same effect that the popular diet drug phen/fen had on people. It ended up killing a few folks and they pulled it from the market. It's a shame, cause it was a great diet drug! But I guess not worth your life. Try looking up the effects of phen/fen and see what confilcting signals can do to your body.

    You can also look up the effects of mixing uppers and downers in any PDR.

    I know the answer to your question.

    When you mix alcohol with energy drinks, it is harder for you to recognize how drunk you are, so you might drink more alcohol than you normally would.

    The basic danger of doing this is you have a much higher risk of developing an alcohol dependency, AND your body suffers the effects of alcohol more

    This can cause heart palpatations. I used to get them pretty bad from taking a bunch of mini-thins, then goin out drinking. Then all the stuff came out about how bad they were for you and really scared me. I quit that really fast!

    I mean I can understand taking a bunch of energy pills and drinking (bad experience with that myself!), but having a redbull and vodka? I guess if that's all you're drinking... all night long...
