An Australian doctor has warned that the actual dangers of mixing energy drinks with alcohol may not be known.

Dr Miller cited the example of last year’s Australasian Professional Society on Alcohol and Drugs conference where over 80 percent of the researchers said that there was no evidence linking mixing of alcohol and energy drinks with any increased health risk. He said that all of the researchers had received financial assistance from Red Bull and only independent researchers had argued about the need for more research.
“These researchers have presented their findings at special sessions on alcohol and energy drinks at international conferences where, because of limited disclosure requirements, audiences may not be aware of the extent of their industry sponsorship. Only the independent presenters argued that more research is needed to assess the associations”, he said.
