Energy drinks are no longer strangers among the people. Energy drink is a type of beverage which is intended to increase energy person who drank. However, fans of energy drinks should be careful if you want to mix with alcohol.
According to a study by a team at the University of Texas Medical School at Houston, energy drinks contain more caffeine and sugar than a cup of coffee. The content of caffeine in energy drinks is 70-200 mg per 500 ml. That's almost double the usual amount in a cup. In which 500 ml of instant coffee contains up to 100 mg of caffeine.
Not only that, they contain ingredients that are often "no" is mentioned on the label, such as the herbal stimulant guarana, taurine amino acids, minerals, and vitamins that reacted to caffeine. It affects heart rate, blood pressure, even mental state. Worse effect if the drink is consumed with alcohol has several reasons. As reported by the I diva:
Loss of Energy
"Most energy drinks are meant to stimulate your brain. Because it contains caffeine, vitamins, and minerals are higher" said Dr. Sunita Dube. The content of gluconolactone also causes energy drinks produce more energy and makes you more alert. "If taken with alcohol, this drink it will delay the release of energy and cause fatigue," he explained. "We do not feel tired because under the influence of alcohol, while a strong dose of vitamins and minerals detoxify us.

Thus, causing the brain receives different signals," said nutritionist Sushila Sharangdhar. "That's also why people tend to feel fatigue after staying up all night studying or completing a project with the help of an energy drink," he continued.
Cause Addiction!
The effect of energy drinks is temporary. So, although we tend to become hyperactive and excited after drinking, we started to feel tired and slightly annoyed that the effect is reduced. "A person can also be addicted to energy drinks if he is so dependent for a boost of energy during the period of time," said Dr. Sunita. So if one time you feel you need extra energy, take cold water or fruit juice instead of a cup of energy drink.
