The body knows how much do you drink, and sends clear signals of fatigue when you have exceeded the limits. Many people combat these signals by having energizers combined with alcohol. A recent research shows that this combination repeal the “stop” signal given by the body, according to an article on Medical News Today website.
From the moment you cross the boundaries, the rationality disappears, making room to wrong decisions that can lead to serious effects: drinking and driving, drinking up until getting into coma, etc.
Cecile Marczinski a psychologist at Northern Kentucky University conducted a study showing that an energizer drink combined with vodka or other type of alcohol removes the traces of tiredness and generates a state of arousal two times stronger than when using the pure alcohol.
Energizer increase alcohol cravings
“This state of excitement makes you consume more alcohol, in order to stay longer than you intended at the party”, warns the psychologist in the mentioned article.
She also says that in addition to the caffeine contained in the energizers, the other ingredients such as taurine, glucose, and ginseng also generate and raise a state of excitement that leads to increase in alcohol consumption.
