Diet soda may help or hinder attempts to lose weight.
无糖汽水也许有助于或妨碍你减肥。
But it definitely can get you drunker.
但绝对是一喝就会让人欲罢不能。
Because a drink made from alcohol and a diet mixer boosts breathalyzer readings higher than the same drink with a sugary mixer.
因为一种混合了酒精和控制热量的混合饮料能提高呼吸测醉器的读数,对照组采用的可是同量的糖水混合物。
The finding is in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research.
这项研究结果已在《酗酒:诊断和实验研究》杂志上发表。
For the study, 16 casual drinkers knocked back one of three drinks: vodka mixed with sugary soda, vodka mixed with sugar-free soda, or a placebo.
在这项研究中,16名随机选取的嗜酒者需要快速喝掉含糖苏打水伏特加,无糖苏打水伏特加,还有安慰剂三种饮料中的一种。
Over three different sessions, each participant got each drink.
在超过三种不同测试进行的试验中,每位参与者会喝一杯。
After the drink, the subjects were given breathalyzer tests and reaction time measurements.
喝过之后,他们就要进行呼吸酒精测醉测试以及反应力测试。
Participants also did a self-assessment where they estimated their own drunkenness, tiredness and willingness to drive.
参与者还需要做一份关于酒醉、疲劳和积极兴奋的态度下开车能力的自我评估。
When both men and women drank vodka with the diet mixer, their breath alcohol levels were on average 18 percent higher than when they consumed the alcohol with full-calorie soda.
无糖伏特加组的男女受试者的酒精含量测试结果比加糖伏特加组的分之高18%,
And their reaction times were slower.
而他们的反应时间也更滞后些。
Although a diet mixer impaired the subjects more, they rated themselves as not being any drunker.
尽管低卡添加剂对受试者本身也伤害较大,他们对自己的评估确是没有特别大的醉意。
So if you're watching your weight, watch out for what you drink.
因此,如果你正在控制体重,小心你饮料的成分。
