red bull + alcohol = drunker than you think

Leave A Comment by Erica Upshaw

Check out this interesting article I found in the Huffington Post about mixing Red Bull-type caffeine drinks with alcohol.

Here’s an excerpt:

Researchers in Brazil examined the motor skills performance of people who had drank an equivalent amount of alcohol, but half had drank it with red bull mixers, and the other half with non stimulant mixers. The group that drank the red bull cocktails self-reported feeling less drunk on a number of measures than the non red bull drinking group, but when tested on motor skills performance, and other quantitative measures of intoxication, performed equally badly.

Last November, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration notified more than two dozen manufacturers of caffeinated alcoholic beverages that it has never specifically approved the addition of caffeine to alcoholic drinks and began studying whether it is unsafe and should be outlawed. The agency noted the mix’s growing popularity among up to 26 percent of college students and its potential health and safety issues. They included a Wake Forest University study that students who combine caffeine and alcohol are likelier to suffer alcohol-related injuries than those drinking alcohol without caffeine.

Whoa.  Check out this letter detailing how Miami University Greeks tore apart Lyndsay Lodge during a “formal” event.  And we wonder why fraternities and sororities get a bad rap? If this toddler / zoo animal type of behavior sounds familiar to you Greek leaders out there, consider taking the advice of your parents and lay down some rules.  Before an event, discuss expectations and consequences such as fines and social probation.  Remember this saying our parents always used: “Give ‘em [...]

LOVE these Bud Light spots

Just came across these wickedly funny Bud Light commercials.  You bet your bottom dollar they would never be allowed to air on TV….what a bummer.  Usually the ones you see during Superbowl are so watered down.  To see more creative and hilarious stuff, go to LA production company Tool’s website.
