Alcoholic drinks mixed with artificial sweeteners get you drunker, new research finds.

It took a group of Australian researchers, lots of orange-flavored vodka and a few tipsy volunteers to reach this scientific conclusion.

They found that artificial sweeteners found in such popular mixers as Diet Coke and sugar-free Red Bull lead to a high rate of alcohol absorption, resulting in a greater blood alcohol peak and concentration than from drinks made with sugar-based mixers.

In all seriousness I've always thought this to be true. That I seem to get drunker off myers and diet coke, then I do jack and gingers.

THOUGH I'm major pissed that these goddamn researchers didn't have the common courtsey to ask for me to be involved. Austraila sucks.

edit:

I've now got a reason to drink on Friday afternoon.

Maybe I'll just stay home and do research by myself.

I hate fruity drinks, but rum or jack and coke is pretty good.

Same with caffene. (I think)

It raisees your heart rate causing blood and alcohol to mix faster.

You could just run around, be cheaper...
