Red Bull + Vodka

Teenagers today love to mix energy drinks with alcohol, especially red bull with vodka. I don't know what it is but it is a very popular drink especially for highschool and college students. After thinking about it, is it really a good choice of beverage? Think for a second, alcohol with the mixtures of energy drinks.. does that really sound like a good combination? There are some negative effects on this beverage.

First off, when people drink these beverages they get a false sense of intoxication. The feeling for wanting to drink more and more increases and people are not aware of how intoxicated they really are. (The person may be a lot drunker than they really feel) With all of that being said, the risk for alacohol poising increases.

Not to mention, all of the caffeine that is mixed in these drinks. Red Bull alone has over 100 calories so take that and add it to the calories in vodka.. you get a lot of caffeine. All the caffeine eventually will add up too and cause harm to the body.

Our motor skills are directly harmed from these drinks and the bad thing is we don't even realize it because we get a sense of intoxication. So dangerous.. one of the most dangerous drinks a person can consume.
I can't say that I've never drank one of these mixed drinks but I can say after reading these dangers I will not consume a lot of this drink again. I do not want to lose my life from something that stupid.

  1. I loved this post. When I go out I see more people drinking red bull with their alcohol! And you made really good points. It does cause a lot of harm to the body! If people would actually look into this and see what it does to them they might not do it anymore! great post!

  2. Dear Snack Attack,
    This is a great topic. It is a topic that will catch all students eyes that have drank red bull with vodka. The weird thing to me is alcohol is a seditive and red bull the complete oposite? I would think that it would cancel each other out. I would think? But keep up the good work keep writing about college life and they will keep reading your blogs.

  4. Dear Snack Attack,

    This seems serious, an interesting piece to pull on. Vodka and Red Bull, yep that sounds intense. Don't understand why someone would want to do that seems like it would be too much for someone's heart to take. Red bull speeds you up but alcohal slows you down. They are complete opposites of one another. I never drank in my life but if I was doing this I would completly stop. Nice blog and keep up the good work.

  5. Dear Junco,

    I can't believe that Red Bull and Vodka was so bad together!! I would've never guessed! I don't understand why someone would want to do something that can be so dangerous to you and your heart. I'm sure that if the people who do read this they would change their drinking habits. This was so interesting! Keep up the good blogs!

  6. Snack Attack,

    I find this information very useful. Red bull and vodka is by far my favorite mixed drink. When you mentioned how bad it was for everyone, it kind of scared me. I've put myself at risk many times. I agree that we should not risk our lives just for a delicious tasting mixed drink. It's not worth it. Thanks for sharing the information!
