Alcohol Myths That Just Aren't True
Mixing Alcohol with Energy Drinks Will Make You More Drunk(01 of05)

Click Here to see The Complete List of Alcohol Myths That Just Aren’t True This was a tough myth to bust, but the answer is no, mixing alcohol with energy drinks will not make you more drunk. California State University, Chico reported that alcohol mixed with energy drinks usually contains the same amount of alcohol as draft beers and wines, but it’s the addition of caffeine that can cause a dramatic intoxication. They reported that"experts have started to call [it] the 'wide-awake drunk.' Essentially, this means the individual will have the same blood alcohol content, BAC, as they would have without drinking the energy drink, however the stimulants creates a more 'sobering' effect." It should be noted that mixing energy drinks with alcohol can be incredibly dangerous to your health — we don’t recommend it.Photo Credit: Flickr /homard.net
'Beer Before Liquor, Never Been Sicker'(02 of05)

This myth explores whether or not the order in which you drink different alcohols will make you sick. We left it to MythBusters rather than doing our own hands-on research and they reported that, "If you knock back the same alcohol content by chugging brewskies as you would switching between beer and liquor, you'll be at risk for the same aftereffects: dehydration, memory loss, nausea, and sensitivity to light and sound — in other words, a hangover." Regardless of whether you drink your beer before your liquor or your liquor before your beer, you’ll still end up with your head in the toilet if you drank too much.Photo Credit: Flickr /essygie
Vomiting Helps to Sober You Up(03 of05)

This is another myth that does have some gray lines. Health Guidance reported that vomitingdoes expel the alcohol that is in your stomach and will stop it from further entering your blood stream, but the part of the vomiting myth that isn’t true is that it will sober you up. The alcohol that is already in your blood stream needs to metabolize, which means that you might not continue to get drunker but you will in fact remain drunk until your body has completely processed all the alcohol in your bloodstream.Photo Credit: Flickr /emergencybrakeClick Here to see The Complete List of Alcohol Myths That Just Aren’t True
Drinking Lighter-Colored Alcoholic Drinks Will Prevent a Hangover(04 of05)

Drinking lighter-colored drinks like vodka and gin won't necessarily prevent a hangover the next morning, but it may help. The Mayo Clinic reported that congeners, products of alcohol fermentation and one cause of a hangover, are more prevalent in dark liquors such as brandy, whiskey, darker beer, and red wine than they are in clear liquors such as vodka, gin, and lighter beers. The same article reported that drinking too much of anything is going to make you hungover, though -- so whether you're drinking light or dark alcohol it probably won't matter if you've had too much to drink anyway.Photo Credit: Flickr /IntangibleArts
Absinthe is a Hallucinogenic(05 of05)

Believe it or not, there is actually an association dedicated to absinthe called The Wormwood Society. They reported that "Contrary to popular misconception, absinthe is not hallucinogenic, psychedelic, or narcotic. If you're looking for this kind of experience you'll be very disappointed in genuine absinthe. The only drug in absinthe is alcohol." Absinthe can be extremely high in alcohol content, though, making the drink extremely pungent when mixed in martinis and other cocktails. And let's face it, if you have too much of any alcohol you might start seeing things — it’s the beer goggles theory.Click Here to see The Complete List of Alcohol Myths That Just Aren’t True Photo Credit: Flickr /MCAD Library
