CAFFEINE buzzes come from many quarters, according to a recent Canadian review of 13 studies published between 1981 and 2016.
Researchers were warning against mixing spirits and liqueurs with energy drinks, such as Red Bull and Monster, which has become increasingly popular, saying that it could be more risky than drinking alcohol on its own, or with a more traditional mixer.
The review showed that the dicey mix resulted in an increased risk of falls, fights and accidents.
What's even more interesting is that if you are a tea drinker, you are ingesting more caffeine in one cup (40 mg) than in one 330 mL can of Coca-Cola (32 mg), and two cups of tea will deliver the same amount as one can of Red Bull.
