Diet mixers can make you more drunk than higher-calorie options.
A new study, to be publishedin a forthcoming issue of Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research, found that using diet soda as a mixer can dramatically increase breath-alcohol content (BAC) without increasing your awareness of being impaired.
The study, which compared Smirnoff Red Label plus Squirt (a lemon-lime soda with no caffeine) with the vodka with Diet Squirt, found that the diet cocktail increased BAC by 18%. Thats almost as much as having an additional standard drink and was enough to tip people from being under the legal limit for driving to being unsafe to drive.
One of the key things we found was that even though BAC peaked 18% higher in the diet condition, [participants] didnt feel any more intoxicated and they didnt feel any different as to how willing they were to drive a car, says the studys lead author Cecile Marczinski, who is an assistant professor of psychology at Northern Kentucky University.

The study involved 16 young men and women who consider themselves to be social drinkers. Over the course of three different drinking sessions, they were given either a placebo drink, a diet Squirt with vodka, or a full-sugar Squirt with vodka. Researchers decided to test a noncaffeinated diet drink because although caffeine doesnt affect breath-detectable levels of alcohol, it does affect whether people think they are intoxicated so would have made the results more difficult to interpret. The dose of vodka was calibrated to each participants weight and gender to put them close to the .08 legal limit for drinking, which is the equivalent of drinking four beers in an hour.
After drinking the cocktail they were assigned, participants were tested for their reaction time and the number of errors they made in a computer task in which they learned a response and then had to inhibit that reaction on cue. They were also asked about their perceptions of how drunk and tired they were and whether they felt they could safely drive. At all times, the amount of alcohol measured in the volunteers breath was higher among those whose cocktails included diet drinks. And while the participants never reached the legal limit when they drank sugared soda with alcohol, they exceeded the safe limit for driving within 40 minutes if they had the diet cocktail.

They are more impaired on the computer task, measured both by reaction time and errors, Marczinski says of those in the diet-drink group. You shouldnt trust your own judgment of impairment. In one case, the subjects were safe to drive and legal, and in the other case, they were not, but they had no idea.

Diet Detox "Water" Tea
The technical name for the detox is the fat flusher. Fat Flusher 2 peppermint teas (if u can find the plant then 10 leaves) 1/2 of a cucumber (i know, i know Jason) 1/2 of a tangerine 1/2 of a lemon then I added 2 limes myself -definately just an option pour into a pitcher that will hold atleast 64 oz Benefits: "The 10-day plan is designed to melt fat and transform bodies. Besides its main ingredient of water, the Fat Flush contains grapefruit that #39;s loaded with vitamin C to help your body turn fat into fuel. The tangerine increases your sensitivity to insulin, stabilizes blood sugar, and stimulates genes to burn fat. Cucumber helps you feel full and acts as a natural diuretic, which means less bloating and water retention. And lastly, it has peppermint, which is not only refreshing but also promotes better digestion and stomach calm. Make a big pitcher of Fat Flush Water every morning. The longer it sits, the better it will taste. Drink at least one 8 ounce glass three times a day before each meal for 10 days straight." Taken
