Honestly... Pepsi (and all those other energy drinks) mixed with alcohol isn't exactly toxic or lethal, despite all the media sensationalism and scary headlines we've seen over the years...
BUT, just because it isn't "poison" doesn't mean it’s safe... The "secret" behind a cocktail like that is really quite simple: the Pepsi gives your body a massive surge of energy, lifting you up and masking both the fatigue and the actual feeling of being drunk. It essentially tricks you into thinking you're fine, which allows you to keep drinking through the entire night...
And that's exactly where things get dangerous—you can end up with serious alcohol poisoning. Basically, you consume a volume of alcohol that your body would normally signal you to stop at before it became too much...
That’s the real danger lurking within those energy drinks if you don't know your own limits... At the end of the day, it's the alcohol itself that gets you.
