  • Drinkers Warned Dont Mix Caffeine and Alcohol

    Researchers from Curtin University are warning young people yet again not to mix alcohol with caffeinated energy drinks.

    The warning comes from Professor Simone Pettigrew, School of Psychology and Speech Pathology after she said previous research had identified the potential health risks associated with energy drinks and combining alcohol with energy drinks.

    She explained that evidence suggests there are negative physiological effects of consuming alcohol mixed with energy drinks particularly among young people.

    Some of the effects include agitation, elevated blood pressure, sleep disturbance, increased susceptibility to addiction, dental caries, miscarriage, arrhythmia, and even death.

    She said that further evidence exists that alcohol mixed with energy drinks is linked to increased alcohol consumption, alcohol dependency and alcohol related harms.
