Dangers of Vodka and Redbull

Dangers of Vodka and Redbull
November 4, 2007 - metro.co.uk

Mixing alcohol with energy drinks such as Red Bull is like 'mixing cocaine with heroin', a drugs expert claimed last night.

Don Serratt, founder of British drug treatment centre Life Works, said mixing extreme quantities of the stimulant caffeine with the depressant alcohol was 'a very dangerous cocktail'.

He was responding to a new study which showed people who drank the cocktails were twice as likely to injure themselves and be taken advantage of sexually.

In the first scientific study of its kind, researchers in the US questioned 4,271 university students, a quarter of whom had consumed energy drinks with alcohol in the past month.

They found that, compared with those who did not mix alcohol with energy drinks, they were twice as likely to require medical attention and twice as likely to travel with a drink-driver.

They were also more than twice as likely to take sexual advantage of someone else and had almost double the risk of being taken advantage of sexually themselves.

In a typical drinking session, they drank up to 36 per cent more alcohol than other students.

Dr Mary Claire O'Brien, who carried out the research at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Centre in North Carolina, said: 'Students whose motor skills, visual reaction times, and judgment are impaired by alcohol may not perceive that they are intoxicated as readily when they're also ingesting a stimulant.'

A Red Bull spokeswoman said: 'We cannot comment on the findings of the American public health report until we have looked at it in detail.

'Until then, we can only state what we have always said, which is to drink Red Bull responsibly.'

why are they targeting red bull? this applies to all caffeinated things. Chocolate, red bull, rockstar, even pepsi. Why single out the guys with the commercials drawn with squiggly lines?

don't forget the old fashioned Jack and Coke.

I think they need to target them first.

What's wrong with mixing your coke and opiates? I kinda like the combo.


So, I'm off to the bar, guess it's time for some redbull drinks so I can get taken advantage of sexually :rolleyes:

I love how it ends with a quote from Red Bull saying to drink responsibly. Red bull is a joke, I take up to 1 gram of caffeine daily as a part of my lifting supplementation and to keep the headaches at bay. Thats like 8-10 Red Bulls. You don't have to drink them responsibly, how about drinking ALCOHOL responsibly. How about not masking the flavor so you can consume more and more and more and more. I could smoke a pound of weed and eat a bag of shrooms and take a cube of acid and be more composed than if I had a 6 pack!

Red Bull has twice the caffeine content of Coke. There are also other sympathomimetic things in energy drinks which are purposely designed to "stimulate" someone.

Red Bull is singled out because they seem to be the most successful at what they do. They are the most visable in the bar scene.

Could this study possibly portray the habits of those who tend to drink redbull and vodkas? Studies are such BS and can pander to whoever is sponsoring it. Its just as important to observe the actions of those for whom this is a drink of choice. With or without alcohol that is. So once again we have a slightly misleading article, and a company unable to defend itself scientifically yet. When the defense is brought forward, it will not be a headline. It may not even be reported about.

Having said all that, I can't argue that alcohol and tonnes of caffeine in combination can be potentially dangerous. And yes, drink responsibly. But, the moment we consume a drink or two too much, we have less and less control of responses(responsibility).
So, the companies(alcohol related and not) tell us to be responsible while telling us to drink more and more. So F_ck redbull for being irresponsible and not caring about its consumers and caring only for its billion dollar name.
Read this. They're just another corporation treating their consumers as numbers and figures.

I will never drink redbull again. By the way, Red bull is simply a high priced version of Bacchus. An energy drink from Korea that's been around since the 1960's

Actually, depending upon body weight and tolerance, you are getting close to the overdose range of caffeine at those dosages. From wiki: "Though achieving lethal dose with caffeine would be exceptionally difficult with regular coffee, there have been reported deaths from overdosing on caffeine pills, with serious symptoms of overdose requiring hospitalization occurring from as little as 2 grams of caffeine."

I always thought coca mixed with heroin in the same needle would be more fun than just the one on it's own.

i was working with a chick that swears alcohol + aspartame = formaldehyde.

the reason she told me this is because we were talking about mixing the sugar free red bulls with our jager in order to dodge that ever so delightful sugar crash.

can anyone hold a candle to this?

Just aspartame by itself will. Alcohol won't increase it but you do drink alot of aspartame with alcohol than you normally do so maybe that is the reason.

:yesnod:

I would think that the increased injury rates are not due to the combination of alcohol and Redbull specifically, but because people who drink Redbull and vodka are probably more likely to exhibit a "let's get utterly shitfaced" attitude about partying.

You're kidding, right????

If you aren't, mixing cocaine and opiates, in strictly medical terms, creates a cardiovascular clusterfuck. Your heart rate is elevated due to the cocaine and your breathing is lowered from the opiates. Do this enough and

BOoOoOom

Heart attack

This is unbelievably bad for your heart. A muscle can't pump if it's deprived of oxygen. Even if you don't speedball regularly you should know that it's extremely dangerous, going too much in either direction could lead to death. Dosing yourself for a speedball is a precarious balance between respiration and heart rate.
