Energy drinks are trendy and young people in particular are those most taken either in a sports context, holidays or for study. In fact, all seem good reasons for young people to consume these beverages, especially designed for them.
Energy drinks mask the effects of alcohol
However, these drinks are the subject of various controversies, or by reason of its ingredients or its detractors.
A new American study suggests that energy drinks promote the transition to alcoholism. The researchers would have sufficed to follow at around 1000students, who have been classified into different groups according to their consumption.
With regard to young people who never drink energy drinks such, consumers are more addicts (over 52 days of consumption, ie an average of one drink per week) were also the most often drank alcohol, 142 days a year against 103 of those who did not consume energy drinks, but also were the earliest beginning to drink alcohol.
The result: addicted to energy drinks was 2.4 more likely to develop alcohol dependence than those who do not drink.
The explanation of this relationship is only a hypothesis. Could it be thatl be rich in caffeine, these energy drinks mask the effects of alcohol, leading young people to drink more alcohol. We are therefore faced with a case in which the subjects are under the influence of alcohol, but without having that impression.
should remind young people that the risks greater than they can be exposed by drinking alcohol are driving and unprotected sex.
