目的：近年来，饮用混合能量饮料 (AmED) 在北美年轻人中越来越流行。对于这种新型酒精饮料消费所伴随的饮酒模式和风险行为的研究很少，需要更多信息来支持减少危害和预防工作。本文超越了先前的研究，调查了与 AmED 使用相关的风险行为，同时 (1) 控制冒险倾向，(2) 检查一系列结果（例如兴奋剂药物的使用），以及 (3) 在加拿大样本中复制先前的研究结果。 方法：2009/2010 年冬季，加拿大西部一所大学的 465 名学生（56% 为女性）完成了一项基于网络的调查。使用回归分析来调查 AmED 的消费是否与酗酒、兴奋剂药物使用和酒精相关后果相关。结果：共有 105 名学生 (23%) 报告在过去 30 天内消费了 AmED。在控制冒险倾向后，这些学生比非 AmED 用户更有可能酗酒。在控制冒险倾向和饮酒行为后，与不太频繁饮酒的人相比，频繁饮酒的人因使用 AmED 而遭受一种或多种负面后果（例如酒后驾驶、受伤）的几率是不常饮酒的人的两倍。结论：服用 AmED 的学生受到伤害的风险增加。因此，大学生饮用AmED应被视为“高危饮酒”，应努力阻止混合消费。 (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
Objective: In recent years the consumption of alcohol mixed with energy drinks (AmED) has become popular in young adults in North America. There have been few studies into the drinking patterns and risk behaviors that accompany this new form of alcoholic beverage consumption and more information is required to support harm reduction and prevention efforts. This paper goes beyond previous research by investigating risk behaviors associated with AmED use while (1) controlling for risk-taking propensity, (2) examining a range of outcomes (e.g. stimulant drug use), and (3) replicating previous findings in a Canadian sample.Method: In winter 2009/10, a web-based survey was completed by 465 students (56% female) attending a university in Western Canada. Regression analyses were used to investigate whether consumption of AmED is associated with heavy drinking, stimulant drug use, and alcohol-related consequences.Results: A total of 105 students (23%) reported consuming AmED in the past 30 days. These students were more likely to be heavier drinkers, than non-AmED users after controlling for risk-taking propensity. More frequent AmED drinkers had twice the odds of experiencing one or more negative consequences from AmED use (e.g. drinking and driving, being hurt or injured), compared to less frequent drinkers after controlling for risk-taking propensity and drinking behavior.Conclusions: Students who consume AmED are at increased risk for harms. Therefore, consuming AmED should be considered "high-risk drinking" for university students and efforts should be made to discourage combined consumption. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
