Energy Drinks and Alcohol: A Dangerous Mix

Aguascalientes, Mexico – A recent video from TV Azteca Aguascalientes warns of the dangers of mixing energy drinks and alcohol. The report highlights the fact that energy drinks can mask the signs of intoxication, leading individuals to consume alcohol beyond safe limits. "Energy drinks act as stimulants, while alcohol is a depressant," explains Dr. Osorno, a medical specialist featured in the video. "This combination creates a masking effect, meaning the body is still intoxicated, but the person doesn't feel it." The video shows examples of young people consuming these mixed drinks in social settings, emphasizing the prevalence of this risky behavior. The report concludes with a call for increased awareness of the health risks associated with this practice. The video's focus on a widespread issue and its use of expert opinions makes it a valuable resource for public health education.
