与将等量的酒精与普通饮料混合相比，将酒精与减肥饮料混合会导致更大程度的中毒。发生这种情况可能是因为饮食混合剂增加了酒精吸收率。因此，使用饮食混合器可能会增加与酒精相关的危害的风险。目前的研究试图（1）确定大学生的饮酒率/频率，（2）研究将酒精与减肥饮料混合与酒精相关问题之间的关系，超越典型的饮酒和感觉寻求，以及（3）探索可能表征使用者的关键特征（性别、饮酒时限制食物和体重指数[BMI]）。参与者为 686 名（73% 女性）本科生，他们完成了酒精使用（包括饮食混合剂使用）、酒精相关问题、饮酒时饮食行为、感觉寻求和人口统计信息的自我报告。结果显示，约 36% 的样本报告称在饮食混合饮料中饮酒，并且用户通常每月至少饮用一次这种饮料。报告将酒精与减肥饮料混合的学生经历了更多与酒精相关的问题。而且，饮用这种饮料的频率越高，报告的问题就越多。这些关联是在控制典型的饮酒水平和感觉寻求后发现的。用户在性别、饮酒时的饮食行为和体重指数方面没有观察到差异。我们的研究结果表明，将酒精与减肥饮料混合可能是遭受更多酒精相关危害的风险因素。需要进一步的研究来了解这种关系，因为它可能有助于指导旨在减少酒精相关风险的干预措施。
Mixing alcohol with diet beverages, as compared to mixing the same amount of alcohol with a regular beverage, is associated with greater intoxication. This may occur because diet mixers increase alcohol absorption rates. Thus, it is plausible that the use of diet mixers may increase the risk of alcohol-related harms. The current study sought to (1) determine the rate/frequency of use in among college students, (2) examine the relationship between mixing alcohol with diet beverages and alcohol-related problems, above typical alcohol use and sensation seeking, and (3) explore key traits (gender, restricting food while drinking, and body mass index [BMI]) that may characterize users. Participants were 686 (73% female) undergraduate students who completed self-reports of alcohol use (including diet mixer use), alcohol-related problems, eating behaviors while drinking, sensation seeking, and demographic information. Results revealed that about 36% of the sample reported consuming alcohol with diet mixers, and users typically consumed this beverage at least once a month. Students who reported mixing alcohol with diet beverages experienced more alcohol-related problems. And, the more frequently one consumed this beverage, the more problems were reported. These associations were found after controlling for typical level of alcohol use and sensation seeking. No differences were observed between user-status on gender, eating behaviors while drinking, and BMI. Our findings suggest that mixing alcohol with diet beverages could be a risk factor for experiencing more alcohol-related harms. Further research is needed to understand this relationship, as it may help guide intervening efforts aimed to reduce alcohol-related risks.
