Police have discovered a popular trend of mixing energy drinks and drugs in Cache County, and the department is hoping that it stops before it creates bigger issues.
Many Utah State University students have been creating a new type of “mixed drink” in Logan.
Police are worried this could become a gateway drug and potentially harm students with side effects that are similar to cocaine.
Captain Tyson Budge of the Logan City Police Department said that most the MIP arrests have been including energy drinks. “I’m not sure if it was just an excuse and trying to hide that they drank on purpose, or if it is really happening at parties.”
Many energy drinks companies sponsor on-campus parties and off-campus events catered to students. Police and students together contend that it would not be surprising if they saw an increase in usage.
“I’ve heard about it but I haven’t seen it, but I wouldn’t be surprised if I saw it at Mardi Gras next week,” said Anna Godfrey, a Utah State University student.
