Red bull and alcohol?

Now I know we North Americans love energy drinks, but I never knew people actually mixed Red Bull in with their alcohol until today. Red Bull with alcohol? Really? As far as I understand, one is a stimulate and the other is a depressant, so why would you actually mix the two together?

And I'm not the only one asking this question.

The stimulant in the drink causes the person to feel more energetic, and deceives him/her in his/her alcohol-intake level. Since you feel more energetic, you're tempted to think that you can consume more alcohol than your body can handle. What ends up happening in the end? Well, you feel more difficult in making correct decisions, you're more likely to get into accidents or injure yourself, and may exemplify agressive behaviours more frequently than a "normal drunk".

Hmm...negatives in the mix? Lots. Positives? I am yet able to find one.

So for the safety of your own body and those around, please don't mix energy drinks in with your alcohol.
