The results from the present study suggest the possibility of an increasedrisk of substance use and patterns of alcohol dependenceamong young adult college students who consume AmED beverages.Using two different measures of alcohol and AmED consumption (pastweek and past month), there were both strong and marginal univariatedifferences observed. Past month and past week AmED consumers weremore likely than alcohol only consumers to report general energy drinkconsumption and patterns of alcohol dependence. Some marginallysignificant (after Bonferroni correction) differences between alcoholonly consumers and AmED consumers were also only found. Marijuanause was marginally higher among past month AmED consumers thanamong alcohol only consumers, while ketamine was marginally differentbetween these groups for both past week and past month reports.Significant differences were observed on some personality measures,with AmED consumers scoring higher on impulsivity, and lower anxietysensitivity than alcohol only consumers. This makes conceptual sense,as anxiety sensitivity was associated with less alcohol consumptionwhen the SURPS was being created (Woicik et al., 2009). Furthermore,individuals who are high in anxiety sensitivity may avoid the combinationof energy drinks with alcohol, as the stimulant properties of energydrinks may exacerbate anxiety.
