Mixing energy drinks with alcohol is a no-no

Though I'm not one for binge drinking anymore, a few of my friends think nothing of spending $100 at the bar on a round of drinks. One of the latest trends in drinks is mixing red bull or another energy drink with some form of alcohol. It seems like a good idea if you're planning on staying up all night -- maybe the energy drink can counteract the drowsy effect that alcohol causes?

But I have my doubts that this is true, or even remotely safe. This article confirms that mixing alcohol with energy drinks is dangerous. But I doubt information like this will reduce the risk -- both energy drinks and binge drinking seem to be at an all-time height of popularity these days. What do you think?
