Comments on: Coffee Doesn’t Help You Sober Up http://www.docgurley.com/2009/12/11/coffee-doesnt-help-you-sober-up/ Posts from an Insane Healthcare System Wed, 25 Jan 2012 07:17:58 +0000 hourly 1 By: Janet http://www.docgurley.com/2009/12/11/coffee-doesnt-help-you-sober-up/#comment-29564 Janet Mon, 28 Dec 2009 22:47:18 +0000 http://www.docgurley.com/?p=1987#comment-29564 I drank Redbull drinks all the time while I was in college. I liked the way they tasted and the fact that I didn't feel totally wasted, but I was still drunk...if that makes sense. I did some really stupid and dangerous things because my perception of my degree of impairment was way off. I can't imagine that binge drinking beverages that contained stimulants and depressants was healthy. People are going to drink them because they're "funner" than straight alcohol drinks, especially for people who don't like beer. Unfortunately they're more dangerous because it's hard for one to gauge his or her level of impairment, which might lead him or her to drink more and engage in dangerous activities.
