Abstract in brief

  • The interaction between caffeine and alcohol is complex and involves their effects on adenosine neurotransmission, which may depend on the dose.
  • Caffeine acts as an adenosine receptor antagonist that can temporarily counteract some of alcohol's sedative and motor-impairing effects, but their combined impact on brain chemistry can also increase alcohol consumption and related risks.
  • Despite ethical challenges preventing detailed lab studies, the article suggests mechanisms where caffeine's blocking of adenosine receptors may enhance alcohol's rewarding effects and influence alcohol withdrawal and consumption behaviors.]

Teens, caffeine isn’t your study buddy. A report in the Journal of Caffeine Research entitled “Alcohol and Caffeine: The Perfect Storm” states, “Drinkers who reported mixing alcohol with energy drinks had a threefold risk of being legally intoxicated.” https://t.co/h4gAHmJuDo
