Mixing
Energy drinks and alcohol
Some people choose to mix energy drinks with alcohol. Research examining this practice has found no consistent evidence that energy drinks mask the effects of alcohol or reduce a person's awareness of intoxication.
However, caffeine does not reverse the effects of alcohol. Energy drinks do not improve reaction time or concentration after drinking alcohol and should not be used as a way to offset alcohol impairment.
You should be aware of your total caffeine intake from all sources and follow responsible drinking advice when consuming alcohol.
