Scientists have found out that mixing energy drinks and alcohol is dangerous for health. These are the data of the new study, MedlinePlus reports..

In Canada, we analyzed data on people drinking alcoholic energy and concluded that they are more likely to have heart problems, brain problems and injuries compared to those who drink alcohol in their pure form.

"Current research generally supports the connection between alcohol consumption mixed with energy drinks and an increased risk of injury," said study lead author Odra Remer, a graduate student at the University of Victoria.

In addition to falls and car accidents, the researchers also analyzed data on suicidal behavior and violence. Based on the results of the study, Remer said that these risks are several times higher for those who drink cocktails from power engineers and alcohol.

"The stimulating effects of caffeine in energy drinks can mask the sedative effect of alcohol. However, energy drinks do not reduce the harmful effects of alcohol on the body, in particular, the human brain, "says the author of the study.

According to her, this can lead to an underestimation of those drinking their condition and the degree of intoxication.

Especially harmful is a cocktail for young people. At the same time, young people often use alcoholic energy.
