Loss of intoxication

Drinking alcohol with energy drinks makes people lose their feeling of intoxication. They could not control how much they drank and kept drinking. Energy drinks deceive the brain that you are awake, but actually the body is suffering from the consequences of alcohol.

Persistent psychological and physical problems

Blending alcohol with energy drinks also leads to physical and psychological problems such as feeling of stress, restlessness, sleep disorders, and drum. You may also have anxiety caused by excessive intake of caffeine. And because caffeine is a long-acting substance, the symptoms you encounter will not disappear after 1-2 days.

Risk of weight gain and diabetes

The recommended daily sugar is 50 g in women of 70 g in men while energy drinks contain at least 30 g of sugar. Besides, alcohol is a high-calorie drink and with each glass of energy drinks, you will be able to load yourself into 130 calories. The more you drink, the more likely you are to gain weight and be at risk for type 2 diabetes.

In addition, tonic drinks also make it easier for drinkers to become poisoned or become impulsive, leading to dangerous situations. Ideally, stop mixing these two drinks together to avoid unfortunate consequences.
