Event-level analyses of energy drink consumption and alcohol intoxication in bar patrons


To assess event-level associations between energy drink consumption, alcohol intoxication, and intention to drive a motor vehicle in patrons exiting bars at night

These event-level associations provide additional evidence that energy drink consumption by young adults at bars is a marker for elevated involvement in nighttime risk-taking behavior.

Further field research is needed to develop sound regulatory policy on alcohol/energy drink sales practices of on-premise establishments.
