Alcohol<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Energy drinks are caffeinated drinks designed to boost your energy levels making you feel more focused and alert. On the other hand, alcoholic beverages are a source of intoxication and generate a pleasant, out-of-body feeling that usually helps people escape stress or anxiety.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A common practice among youth is to mix energy drinks with alcohol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though the initial feeling of consuming a drink containing both caffeine and alcohol might be exhilarating but the harmful effects it can cause to your health and other people are countless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, we will discuss how these drinks affect your body individually and what happens if you mix them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So let&rsquo;s get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-flat ez-toc-counter ez-toc-transparent ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p
