Abstract
This response addresses several concerns raised by Rossheim, Suzuki and
Thombs (in press) regarding our recent publication in Alcoholism: Clinical
and Experimental Research entitled "The Subjective Physiological,
Psychological, and Behavioral Risk-Taking Consequences of Alcohol and
Energy Drink Co-Ingestion". In our response we acknowledge the validity
of several of the points raised by Rossheim and colleagues. However, we
discuss how re-analysis of the data in light of these concerns demonstrates
that it is not likely that these issues have substantially affected the
findings, with the same pattern of results evident. We further argue that
while we would not treat the results of our study as a definitive statement
regarding the link between alcohol mixed with energy drink (AmED) use
and risk-taking (as stated in the original publication), our research does
rectify some of those methodological limitations identified in past research
and will hopefully facilitate targeted future research which can be used to
inform policy change regarding AmED sales and regulation.
