Diet Soda Gets You Drunk Faster

A new study has found that people who mix diet soda with their hard alcohol had an 18% higher concentration of alcohol in their breath. The study was performed with vodka, soda pop, and diet soda, and included as subjects men and women between the ages of 21 and 33. The difference in diet soda and regular soda was enough so that the people who drank diet soda had a blood-alcohol limit higher than the legal limit for driving, while those who had regular soda-mixed drinks were under the legal limit.

Though this new study has produced an interesting result, it doesn’t change the fact that alcohol is something that should not be treated lightly. Under no circumstances should it be combined with driving. If you suspect that you might have a problem with drinking, you should seek help right now. Warning signs include needing alcohol to function, constantly thinking about alcohol, and an inability to stop once you begin drinking. The good news is that a good program of treatment can turn your life around.

If you have a problem with alcohol or drug abuse or know someone who does, you should seek help now for yourself or your loved one. Thankfully, there is good help available. Detoxification and behavioral therapy have proven to be effective in treating drug dependence. Addicts are often unable to complete treatment on their own or with family members, so it’s very important to seek the right treatment center.
