Emergency physician Mary Claire O'Brien, M.D., of Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, has done extensive research on the risks and dangers of alcoholic energy drinks (AEDs).
She is available to comment on her research which has been cited in the ongoing effort by state attorneys general to ban the drinks. On Nov. 13, the FDA asked 30 munaufacturers of AEDs to provide safety data related to adding caffeine and other stimulants to their products.
O'Brien's research found that college students who reported consuming alcohol mixed with energy drinks had significantly higher prevalence of alcohol-related consequences such as sexual assault and injury.

Nothing to Make Me Stop. Re: Expert On Risks Of Alcholic Energy Drinks Available
posted by Alicia on 27 Jul 2010 at 8:19 amAs said above, this article gave me zero important information on this subject. If I were to tell my friends it was bad, they'd say why? Anyone drinking alcohol is at high risk for dangerous things happened. if anything wouldn't being more awake help? I could think perhaps the heart rate would be affected, but with no real explanation most people don't care.
