Redbull and Vodka

I hear all the time that mixing energy drinks and alcohol is bad for you, specifically I've heard that it fucks up your kidneys.  But after googling it for a few minutes, I found nothing that mentioned any bad health effects. Some sites said that mixing energy drinks and alcohol will make you feel less drunk even though you are drunk causing bad decisions like thinking you are able to drive.

Anyone else hear that this mix is bad for you?  Anyone find any valid source that confirms this?

mmmm sounds like lime juice + baileys (cement mixer)

When a young dumb bimbo comes up to you in a bar and thinks she can just snipe a drink off you tell her you know of a sick shot, order one shot of lime juice, one shot of baileys, tell her to drink one at a time and swish in her mouth. Extra points awarded if she yaks

Thats good.  I usually order them a "lindsey lohan", a red headed slut with a little bit of coke.  Sometimes if the bartender laughs he will give it to you for free.

i've heard that the alcohol slows you hert rate while the energy drink speeds it up. I used to drink a lot of energy drink alcohol mixes and never felt hungover the next morning but could taste a bile taste in my mouth, and I'd never get to sleep. I've gone completely of energy drinks now, only drink them when i have to.

i used to be all for redbull and vodka or any energy drinks and alcohol, up until recently when i had a bunch of really bad nights consecutively, all with very different amounts of everything every night.

one of the ways redbull works is b vitamins, which assist in metabolism, and by assisting your metabolism you are given more energy. when you mix with vodka or other alcohol the redbull speeds your metabolism, which speeds up your body's metabolism of the alcohol you have ingested as well as anything else you have ingested that has yet to be digested and metabolized, essentially getting you more drunk, faster, and on an empty stomach. this is also why you feel the crash.

another effect of redbull and energy drinks is dehydrating your body, which is also an effect of alcohol, which will increase the dehydration you feel in the morning.

now if you keep eating and drinking water throughout the night these things will not be an issue, but its pretty hard to remember to eat and drink while you are at a party, club, pub, bar, etc.

in my opinion, redbull and vodka (energy drinks and alcohol) are fine if you drink them in moderation, and have them as your primary (or only) alcoholic beverage of the night.

not to mention, they cost so much to buy when you are out.

Only thing i've heard was that you don't feel the alcohol until far later than a drink without RB.
but whatever. RB and Vodka is the shit.

energy drink = negative
alcohol = negative
negative x negative= positive
therefore
alcohol x Energy drink = positive

Come on man simple english, double negative makes it a positive bahaha

/end thread.

It's also banned in France. Spark noted: It masks the effects of the alcohol making you feel less drunk and you drink to harmfull levels without realising.
