A new study conducted by researchers at University of Tasmania has found that combining alcohol with energy drinks may not be good for the health.

Around 403 Australians between 18 and 35 years of age took part in the study with researchers comparing their alcohol level consumption with the consumption of alcohol and energy drinks (AmEDs) over the past six months. The researchers found that those who consumed AmEDs complained of sleep difficulties, heart palpitations, tremors, irritability and tension.
“Drinking energy drinks and alcohol together may provide a double-edged effect. The increased stimulation from energy drinks may negate some intoxication-related sedation side effects by increasing alertness. However, it could also lead to negative physiological side effects associated with over-stimulation”, the researchers write in their report.
