Medical experts have warned against mixing alcohol with energy drink, saying it is dangerous to health.

The don explained that when alcohol is mixed with caffeine, the caffeine can mask the depressant effects of alcohol, making drinkers feel more alert than they would otherwise.

“As a result, they may drink more alcohol and become more impaired than they realise, increasing the risk of alcohol-attributable harms. The consumption of energy drinks that contain or are mixed with alcohol may mask the signs of impairment and increase the risk of injury.” Also, a consultant family physician and Head of Department, Family Medicine Department at the University of Ilorin, Dr. Ibrahim Kuranga-Suleiman, said energy drinks contained sugar, calorie, and caffeine and should not be mixed with any drink.

“You will be doing yourself a lot of harm mixing energy drinks with alcohol or any other drinks. You will become addicted and when that happens, it will become a medical issue,” the expert added.All rights reserved.
