Whiskey and energy drinks - a recipe for a massive coronary infarction

The disease of new generations. It's not a fun night ou if you don't go to a club with a semi-functioning ventilation system, pathetic excuse for music that can be composed by every fourteen-year-old with a laptop and a production program, girls with 15 pounds of makeup on their faces and, of course, can't be awesome without a bottle service which often includes a combinations of spirits and energy drinks.

To be honest, I tried that combination on more occasions. I have to point out that these occasions are very rare. I'm not a fan of cocktails and these sweet combinations of alcohol for two reasons:

1. You lose the feeling of the amount of alcohol you pour into your body;
2. I'll drink some juice or pure alcoholic beverage rather than that sweet alcohol stupidity.

However, you should know that such combinations are terribly dangerous. It even says so on a can, so you can read it. More precisely, you can read if you have a magnifier at hand because the information is printed in a font so small that you'll not be able to figure out are you reading English or Chinese.

So let's start.

How did we get to the point where someone mixed these two drinks?
It's actually very simple. One drink contains alcohol, a depressant substance, while another drink contains caffeine, a stimulant substance. And now some smart guy in front of the monitor says: "Boy, you're stupid. And coffee has caffeine. "
True, but it doesn't contain such high amounts.
And what happens to us when we drink these two drinks in combination? We don't get drunk that easily.

Because of the opposite effects of these two substances, we can drink much more alcohol and not feel the effects of drunkenness. However, each action has a reaction. People just keep drinking. And they drink until the alcohol deactivates centers in the brain that can't be affected by caffeine or are effected on a much weaker scale. Simply, alcohol savages both caffeine and you.
And then what?
Then suddenly you become so drunk that instead of ending up your own bed, you end up in a park on the bench while you try to gain the ability to walk again.

But this is not the greatest danger of this combination.

Both caffeine and alcohol are diuretics, i.e. they make you go to the bathroom. So you start to lose your body fluid. Add to the equation, the inevitable buttload of smoke and a temperature of a furnace in the club.
The result is an enormous amount of fluid that your body loses through urine and sweat. This is a huge stress for your cardiovascular system. Even if you are young. Plasma from the blood vessels slowly moves to get out of vessels into other tissues to compensate for the loss of fluid. That's why the heart pumps like crazy to compensate for plasma loss. In addition, there is a stimulant effect of caffeine, so it pumps even harder. Since the heart is a muscle, like every other muscle, it will get tired.

In such situations, you can easily get unconscious, collapse and dehydrate. In certain situations, cardiac arrest, coronary infarction, and possibly death may occur.

Therefore, before preparing yourself to spend a couple of hundred dollars in the club for a batch of toxic combination, think again. Perhaps you would prefer juice. Or pure spirits. Or even better, you won't drink at all (if possible).
