It is inevitable that many people drink and drink at gatherings, and some like to mix ‘alcohol and drinks’ or mix them in cocktails to create new variations in taste and texture.
However, according to a recent study, drinking ‘alcohol + energy’ together can cause brain damage and is more harmful than drinking alcohol alone.
According to a study published in August 2024 by Italian researchers in the journal Neuropharmacology, drinking alcohol and energy drinks together can cause long-term damage to the brain.
According to the study, mice that ate ‘alcohol + energy’ showed permanent changes that significantly affected their learning and memory abilities, especially the plasticity of the hippocampus area. The hippocampus is an important region of the brain responsible for learning and memory.
Over time, the levels of neurotrophic encephalogenic factors in experimental mice that drank a mixture of alcohol and energy decreased significantly, leading to a decline in learning and memory functions.
Researchers found that the dangers of mixing energy drinks with alcohol may arise from an interaction between the two. Alcohol itself has a negative effect on the brain, while the caffeine in energy drinks is a stimulant. Caffeine can counteract the depressant effects of alcohol by preventing brain fatigue. As a result, drinkers can consume too much alcohol without realizing it, increasing the damage to the brain.
