Effects on the drinker
The effects of a Jägerbomb are held to be different from those of other alcoholic drinks. This is attributed to the fact that the
energy drink has a
stimulating effect upon the
central nervous system, whereas the alcohol has a
depressing effect. Consequently, some of the effects of
intoxication are masked.
A Brazilian study conducted in 2006 found that combining
energy drinks and alcohol “appears to show us that the use of energy drinks might predispose people to abuse alcohol when its depressant effects — or at least the perception of such effects — are masked by them.”<SUP id=cite_ref-1 class=reference>

A further concern is the effect that the stimulant-depressant combination has upon the heart. Alcohol can reduce brain activity, impair heart function, and lead to a
heart attack.<SUP id=cite_ref-explosive_0-1 class=reference>

diuretics
