After reading Lisa's answer, I think I should have mentioned energy drinks in particular, because that's what I was wondering about.

I don't think so.I've been drinking Jack Daniels and Coca Cola for years and I'm still here

I'm not dead yet.
Only if you drink too much and get into a fatal situation, car wreck, fall off building, get shot cause you challenged the wrong dude, etc.
Not necessarily any more dangerous than drinking anything else, but it depends what you mean by "dangerous". caffeine is a stimulant (upper), and alcohol is a suppressant (downer). You can get more unexpected behaviour from having drunk a mix of both, because your brain doesn't know if it is being suppressed or stimulated. You get the same results by drinking Tonic Wine.
Absolutely not.
Fatal? Not unless the person drinking it is not to have caffeine at all, like with certain heart conditions. In that case it wouldn't matter whether the drinks were mixed or not.
Dangerous? I don't think so, unless the person in question is in danger when drinking for any number of reasons, such as he/she does crazy things when intoxicated, etc.
If you mean physically mixing a drink like a Red Bull and vodka and serving it to someone, that's really no different than mixing rum and Coke, except that the caffeine content is higher, so I personally wouldn't serve more than one Red Bull to a person unless you want them bouncing off the walls. I suppose it depends on how quickly the person metabolizes alcohol/caffeine, also.
No. Definitely not. People drink alcohol mixed with soda all the time and they are fine. Why would it be fatal?
Like rum and coke?
If so, I would be dead 40 years ago.
No.
No
The only thing that's bad is mixing a energy drink with alcoholic drinks.
When a person does that they can become real sluggish when they come down from there high.
no, never heard that people drink alcoholic drinks with caffeine for example rum and coke. It's only dangerous if you have to many and drive.
