I got a kick out of the opening paragraph's abundance of italics in this press release about a new study on the combination of Red Bull and alcohol that appeared in the scientific journal Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research. For some reason, it sounds funny if you read it aloud and make sure to stress the italicized words:
Study results show that drinking alcohol and Red Bull together significantly reduces the perception of headache, weakness, dry mouth and impairment of motor coordination. Red Bull does not, however, significantly reduce alcohol-related deficits on objective measures of motor coordination and visual reaction time. People who combine alcohol with energy drinks may be at even greater risk for problems such as automobile accidents because they believe they are unimpaired.
