SantiagoThe combination of alcohol and energy drinks turns out to be like an “atomic bomb” for health, according to experts.
Neurologist Bruno Rosario explained that the mixture of these substances produces tachycardia, high blood pressure, agitation, anxiety, lack of appetite and anorexia.
“Energizing drugs stimulate neurons, and when combined with alcohol, the individual effect is enhanced more than if combined alone, which activates the sympathetic nervous system,” he explained.
The doctor pointed out that alcohol in large quantities is a depressant of the nervous system, which at first has an effect that represses the exercise of faculties. He says that this, when linked to something that gives energy, leads to doing things out of the ordinary.
“The ideal is to consume less than 5% or 0.3%, a glass of wine, or just a shot of rum or whiskey,” he advised.
Moderation is required when consuming alcohol and energy drinks.
