Is Mixing Redbull and Vodka Safe?
The simple answer is no. Red Bull, which contains caffeine is a stimulant and alcohol is a depressant. The stimulant effect of the energy drink both masks the effects of the alcohol and stresses the body by counteracting the depressant effects of the alcohol.
What Does The Research Say About Mixing Caffeine & Alcohol?
Studies show that binge drinkers were more than twice as likely to mix alcohol with energy drinks as non-binge drinkers. Since caffeine can make a person feel more alert, they may not realize the full impact of the amount of alcohol they have consumed and drink more than they normally would. Contrary to popular belief, caffeine has no effect on how quickly alcohol is metabolized so it will not help sober you up or prevent a hangover.
