The second path suggests that mechanisms other than the promotion of heavy drinking by energy drinks are involved in promoting drink driving, the researchers said in the paper published in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research. Parents, clinicians, and college administrators should regard any style of energy drinks consumption, whether with or without alcohol, as a warning sign that students might be at high risk for alcohol-related consequences such as drink driving, the authors suggested.
