Mixing alcohol with diet drinks may not be a good idea if getting completely sloshed is not your idea of a good time, according to a recent study.
A new comparison of Breath Alcohol Concentration (BrACs) of alcohol consumed with an artificial sweetener versus alcohol consumed with a sugared beverage has found that mixing alcohol with a diet soft drink can result in a higher BrAC. The stomach seems to treat sugar sweetened beverages like food, which delays the stomach from emptying.
The stomach seems to treat sugar sweetened beverages like food, which delays the stomach emptying. The best way to think about these effects is that sugar-sweetened alcohol mixers slow down the absorption of alcohol into blood stream. Artificially sweetened alcohol mixers do not really elevate alcohol intoxication.
