In the past we heard that mixing alcohol with diet soda could make you drunk faster but now research has emerged suggesting that people who mixed alcohol with diet drinks actually ended up with more alcohol on their breath.

The study conducted by researchers at Northern Kentucky University, found that people who consumed vodka mixed with diet soda had higher concentrations of alcohol on their breath than people who drank the same with regular soda.

Amy Stamates, head of the research said prevention materials should include this information because people trying to avoid the extra calories of regular sodas were risking higher breath alcohol concentrations.
