“Mixing alcohol and energy drinks is popular among young adults. The current study found this behavior is associated with increased risk for negative alcohol consequences in this population as compared to those who did not use energy drinks or did not mix them with alcohol. Health care providers, community health centers, and general health screening tools might target concurrent ED and alcohol use in an effort to identify and intervene on a risk behavior with deleterious consequences to young adults.”
