Mixing super sweet sodas like Mountain Dew with booze can be dangerous because they go down a little too easy. (And before you know it, you've downed five drinks in a row and already feel the inevitable hangover looming.) But stirring the syrupy stuff with gasoline is an insane cocktail that two teens decided to toy around with—sadly, to their demise. 

According to Fox 17, Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Greenbrier, TN has confirmed that two teenage boys died after consuming a dangerous concoction of racing fuel and Mountain Dew. One of the boys, 16-year-old Logan Stephens, had experienced a seizure before his death on Thursday. "They noticed the color of his skin had changed and his hands started drawing up," Greenbrier Police Chief KD Smith told the news station. Days later, Stephens' friend, whose name has yet to be released, was in a coma before dying on Monday afternoon. 

Shockingly, this is not an isolated incident but a life-threatening trend with numerous Tennessee teens. Smith said that in the last few days, two other teenage boys have admitted to drinking the same volatile mixture. What's more, Vice reports that teens are lauding it, giving it the nick name "Dewshine." 

The drink's origins are unknown, but its horrible effects are not. Racing fuel is made of methanol, a toxic type of alcohol. When consumed, it can at first give you a high. But soon after this, the solvent can cause a wildly varying set of symptoms—from blurred vision, nausea, and vomiting to seizures, blindness, coma, and death. The National Institutes of Health reports that just 2 tablespoons of methanol can kill a child while 2 to 8 ounces is deadly to adults. 

We honestly can't believe anyone would think it's a good idea to drink gas. Especially when Mountain Dew already produces caffeine-riddled cans like Kickstart, which have more than enough potential to become the next vodka-Redbull.
