The advice not to mix drinks when enjoying a boozy night out usually refers to not mixing wine with beer to avoid a nasty hangover. However, experts now warn that mixing alcohol with energy drinks also increases the risk of alcohol poisoning.

Energy drinks can also impart a ‘wired’ feeling which, when combined with alcohol, leads to antisocial behaviour and more run-ins with the police.
