背景高咖啡因能量饮料(ED)是人们经常饮用的饮料，有时还会与酒精混合。已经观察到ED消费、冒险和酒精相关问题之间的联系。本研究探讨了饮酒与不饮酒与酒后驾车与ED消费之间的关系。方法数据来源于一项对每年通过个人访谈评估的大学生的纵向研究。在第六年(模式年龄23岁；n=1,000)，参与者自我报告他们过去一年的酒驾频率、ED消费模式(饮用混合酒精的能量饮料[Amed]和饮用不含酒精的能量饮料[ED])、酒精使用(频率、数量)和其他咖啡因消费。早些时候的评估发现了酒后驾车的可疑风险因素。结果超过一半(57%)的被调查者在过去一年中至少消费过一次ED。在ED消费者中，71%的人喝Amed，85%的人单独喝；许多人(56%)同时消费两种类型的ED，而其他人则专门消费其中一种(29%的人只喝Ed，15%的人只喝Amed)。在考虑了其他危险因素后，饮酒与酒后驾车频率有两个方面的关联。首先，从ED频率(不含酒精)到酒后驾驶频率存在直接的路径。结论在该样本中，饮酒和不饮酒两种消费方式对酒驾频次的影响较为普遍，且两种消费方式对酒驾频次的影响是独立的。结果呼吁人们更多地关注不同的ED消费模式对酒后驾车等与酒精相关的后果的影响。
BackgroundHighly caffeinated energy drinks (ED) are commonly consumed and sometimes mixed with alcohol. Associations between ED consumption, risk-taking, and alcohol-related problems have been observed. This study examines the relationship between ED consumptionboth with and without alcoholand drunk driving.MethodsData were derived from a longitudinal study of college students assessed annually via personal interviews. In Year 6 (modal age 23; n=1,000), participants self-reported their past-year frequency of drunk driving, ED consumption patterns (frequency of drinking alcohol mixed with energy drinks [AmED] and drinking energy drinks without alcohol [ED]), alcohol use (frequency, quantity), and other caffeine consumption. Earlier assessments captured suspected risk factors for drunk driving. Structural equationmodeling was used to develop an explanatory model for the association between ED consumption patterns and drunk driving frequency while accounting for other suspected risk factors.ResultsMore than half (57%) consumed ED at least once during the past year. Among ED consumers, 71% drank AmED and 85% drank ED alone; many (56%) engaged in both styles of ED consumption while others specialized in one or the other (29% drank ED alone exclusively, while, 15% drank AmED exclusively). After accounting for other risk factors, ED consumption was associated with drunk driving frequency in 2 ways. First, a direct path existed from ED frequency (without alcohol) to drunk driving frequency. Second, an indirect path existed from AmED frequency through alcohol quantity to drunk driving frequency.ConclusionsAmong this sample, ED consumption with and without alcohol was common, and both styles of ED consumption contributed independently to drunk driving frequency. Results call for increased attention to the impact of different patterns of ED consumption on alcohol-related consequences, such as drunk driving.
