Answer to Question 1

(answers may vary)
AmED (alcohol mixed with energy drinks) refers to any combination of alcohol with caffeine and other stimulants. Premixed beverages, often malt- or distilled spiritsbased, usually have a higher alcohol content (5 to 12 percent) than beer (4 to 5 percent). Some states classify them as liquor, thereby limiting the locations where they can be sold.

AmEDs have surged in popularity among teens and young adults. The FDA has banned some premixed AmEDs, but young people continue to combine energy drinks like Red Bull with vodka or other forms of alcohol. AmED users are most likely to be younger men who score higher on measures of risk-taking propensity.

In a recent study of college students, most had neutral or negative views of AmED. The most frequent users had positive expectations, such as being able to party longer. The caffeine in these drinks may mask the depressant effects of alcohol, but it has no effect on the liver's metabolism of alcohol and thus does not reduce blood-alcohol concentrations or reduce alcohol-related risks.

Various studies have linked AmED use to risky behaviors on campus, including:
 Unprotected sex and sex under the influence of drugs or alcohol
 More high-risk drinking behaviors, such as consuming large amounts of alcohol
 Increased danger of becoming alcohol dependent
 Twice the likelihood of being hurt or injured as those who don't consume AmEDs
