大学生中的酗酒现象很普遍，众所周知，酗酒会对饮酒者造成重大伤害和健康危害。一个可能加剧年轻人危险饮酒的因素是新的流行趋势，即混合饮用酒精和能量饮料(AMED)。然而，大学生中AME的使用率和消费动机尚未得到很好的确定。在这项研究中，来自美国一所大学的706名本科生参加了一项基于网络的调查，询问了自己报告的酒精、能量饮料和AMD的使用情况。此外，还评估了使用AMEDs的动机。结果表明，对于所有参与者，81%的人报告他们在过去至少尝试过一种能量饮料，36%的人报告在过去的两周内至少消费了一种能量饮料。酒精消费模式与美国全国大学生饮酒调查的结果相似，37%的受访者被归类为酗酒者，23%的受访者戒酒。在整个样本中(包括戒酒者)，44%的人报告至少尝试了一次Amed，9%的人报告在过去两周内至少消费了一次Amed。78%的受访者同意AMED吸引未成年饮酒者的说法。当AMED用户被问及消费AMEDs的各种动机时，用户报告说，与单独饮酒相比，他们喝这些饮料是为了喝醉并减少镇静。总而言之，AMEDs的消费在美国大学生中很常见。使用AMEDs的动机包括减少酒精的镇静作用，这是一个重要的感官信号，一个人应该停止饮酒。
Binge drinking in college students is widespread and known to cause significant harms and health hazards for the drinker. One factor that may be exacerbating hazardous drinking in young people is the new popular trend of consuming alcohol mixed with energy drinks (AmED). However, rates of AmED use and motivations for AmED consumption in college students have not been well established. In this study, 706 undergraduate college students from a university in the United States participated in a web-based survey that queried self-reported alcohol, energy drink, and AmED use. In addition, motivations for using AmEDs were assessed. The results indicated that for all participants, 81% reported that they have tried at least one energy drink in the past and 36% reported consumption of at least one energy drink in the past 2 weeks. Alcohol consumption patterns were similar to findings from U.S. national surveys of college drinking, as 37% of respondents were classified as binge drinkers and 23% abstained from drinking. In the whole sample (including the alcohol abstainers), 44% reported trying AmED at least once and 9% reported AmED consumption at least once in the past 2 weeks. 78% of respondents agreed with the statement that AmEDs appeal to underage drinkers. When AmED users were asked about various motivations for consuming AmEDs, users reported that they consumed these beverages to get drunk and reduce sedation compared to alcohol alone. In conclusion, the consumption of AmEDs is common in U.S. college students. Motivations for using AmEDs include the reduction of the sedative effects of alcohol, an important interoceptive cue that one should stop drinking.
