"Brazilian researchers have conducted the first controlled scientific study on the effects of combining alcohol with Red Bull energy drinks and found "a considerable disconnect between subjects' perceptions and objective measures of their abilities."

Just what we need: a bunch of wide-awake people who are a lot drunker than they think they are." -Lexington Herald-Leader
