2. In this article, the authors, researchers from the departments of emergency medicines, go over the influences of energy drink use, high-risk drinking behavior, and alcohol-related consequences. 3. The  authors and researchers used data from surveys taken by students at 10 universities in North Carolina to try to identify how many students are mixing there alcoholic beverages with energy drinks. 4. Their research focuses on how much the students are drinking and whether or not they have been through any harmful experiences in a certain amount of days in the past. 5. The information provided is very useful to the topic of alcohol and energy drink consumption. They focus almost completely on the topic of mixing alcohol and energy drinks instead of just alcohol.6. The study was limited to college students from a particular geographic area, and their ability to assess causal relationships,7. so therefore the authors express that there must be further research attempted to gain more of an understanding of the topic.8. This research is really effective because not a lot of college students know that mixing alcoholic beverages with energy drinks lessens subjective intoxication in those persons. Thus these students are doing this not knowing that they are physically hurting themselves more.
