The use of energy drinks leads to strong stimulation of the central nervous system. After the action is completed, the driver’s reaction becomes dull, so the risk of an accident increases, said psychiatrist and narcologist Vasily Shurov in an interview with Sputnik radio.
As the psychiatrist-narcologist explains, energy drinks contain a lot of caffeine, sugar, taurine, various stimulant additives that relieve the feeling of fatigue. A person creates the false feeling that there is still a lot of energy, but “credited” and will take a maximum of half an hour.
“20-30 minutes after drinking the energy drink, there is a sharp decrease in attention and reaction speed, the person falls asleep. You can cheer up to conditionally drive five kilometers. But if a long trip is planned, and the person is tired, and instead of resting, drinking energy drinks and deceiving the brain, then this is dangerous, ”said Shurov.
The doctor noted that according to his drinking sensations, the driver may drive at high speed, but at the same time suddenly feel tired and drowsy, as a result of which the risk of going into DPT will increase significantly.
Former obstetrician-gynecologist said Long driving “socialbites.ca” leads to problems with conception in women.
