Symposium: Alcohol mixed with energy drink: should we focus on the mixer or alcohol itself?

摘要

The overall aim of the symposium is to give an overview of recent research on alcohol mixed with energy drinks (AMED). There has been debate about if and to what extent mixing alcohol with energy drinks would have negative consequences such as increasing overall alcohol consumption, masking the intoxicating effects of alcohol, and increasing the likelihood of risk taking behaviour. The three speakers address these topics using a variety of research approaches including a double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial, an on-premise study, and a large-scale survey.
