      It’s a classic mix of uppers/downers. Surely you’ve heard of popular mixes like vodka and red bull?

      The alcohol fucks you up but it also makes you slower and more tired, that’s where the caffeine comes in.

      For me personally it can lead to getting blackout drunk, it’s as if the brain has switched off but the body just keeps on going, which is usually followed by regret the next day.

        Drinking even a single beer less than an hour after a coffee makes me and many others miserably sleepy and dizzy. Energy drinks don’t seem to have the same effect though

      I used to drink vodka and red bull when I wanted to learn how to swear in other languages playing CS:GO. Most euro premades had one person that spoke enough english for us to get through the game. Fun shit.

      I’ve never done it but it supposedly makes you not feel drunk. You still totally are but it makes you feel sober so at least there’s that?

      Idk… but now I have an urge to try it, with wine I mean, I have already tried whisky with coffee and similar stuff. Oh and I also tried that Jaggermaister with Coffee they sell already mixed, wasn’t too bad as always needs to be freezer cool to be good.
