Drinking + Driving.....

People in bars or even that are just drinking alcohol at all are starting to become very into drinking energy drinks and alcohol at the same time and have intentions of driving a motor vehicle. An alcohol feild study was conducted from 802 randonly selected people and interviewed and took survey data. It revealed that people who consumed energy drinks and alcohol were at a 3-fold increased risk of leaving the bars highly intoxicated. This is crazy to think about, people do shots with energy drinks and then feel like that might be ok to drive. They are not only drunk, but now consumed with all the feelings that the energy drink has put into their body.
