Diet Cocktails Get You Drunker
A new study published in the American Journal of Medicine suggests that cocktails made with mixers containing artificial sweetness can get a person more intoxicated than a mixer with regular sweeteners.
Seems that diet drinks pass through the stomach faster than the regular ones. This makes the person’s blood alcohol level spike quickly, thus getting you drunker faster. It could also tip you over the legal limit. Of course, you should never drink and drive in the first place.
