目的含咖啡因的能量饮料（单独或与酒精混合）大量销售给年轻人，他们中的许多人认为咖啡因可以抵消酒精中毒的一些负面影响。虽然咖啡因和酒精的影响已被广泛调查，很少有研究检查后，消费的饮料含有这两种ingredients.Methods在双盲，安慰剂对照设计，27个非咖啡因剥夺女性参与者被随机分配到单独消费含咖啡因的能量饮料，一个含有酒精，或非酒精，非咖啡因的控制饮料的神经心理学性能。前和测试后的评估进行了使用替代的可重复电池的神经心理状态评估（RBANS）。结果参与者谁消耗的能量饮料加酒精证明显着降低测试后的表现在全球得分的神经心理状态。具体而言，赤字被发现在视觉空间/结构和语言表现分数。虽然参与者谁消耗的含咖啡因的饮料单独倾向于提高注意力分数，神经心理状态并没有表现出有意义的变化，从前到后test.Conclusions消费的能量饮料含有6%的酒精体积对认知功能的全球性措施的性能产生负面影响。版权所有（C）2009约翰威利父子有限公司
Objective Caffeinated energy drinks-alone or with alcohol-are heavily marketed to young adults, many of whom believe that caffeine counteracts some negative effects of alcohol intoxication. While the effects of caffeine and alcohol have been widely investigated, few studies have examined neuropsychological performance after consumption of a beverage containing both ingredients.Methods In a double-blind, placebo-controlled design, 27 non-caffeine-deprived female participants were randomly assigned to consume a caffeinated energy drink alone, one containing alcohol, or a non-alcoholic, non-caffeinated control beverage. Pre- and post-test assessments were conducted using alternate fortes of the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS).Results Participants who consumed the energy drink plus alcohol evidenced significantly lower post-test performance on a global score of neuropsychological status. Specifically, deficits were found in both visuospatial/constructional and language performance scores. While participants who consumed the caffeinated beverage alone trended toward improved attention scores, neuropsychological status did not show meaningful changes from the pre- to post-test.Conclusions Consumption of an energy drink containing 6% alcohol by volume negatively influenced performance on a global measure of cognitive functioning.
