In memory of fellow Cougar Kenny Hummel,
Student-Athlete Wellbeing would like to remind all of our student-athletes the dangers of mixing alcohol with any kind of energy drink or any other type of stimulant.
Mixing alcohol with energy drinks is extremely risky:
► It allows you to drink to unsafe levels of intoxication
► The caffeine in energy drinks masks the depressant effect of alcohol, which gives you a false sense of how intoxicated you are
► Energy drinks do not lower your blood alcohol level
► Often the caffeine level on the label of an energy drink container is inaccurate
