Brief Answer:
The 5 hour drink can make you have more alcohol without feeling intoxicated

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.

1. It is seen that people who have taken 5 hour energy drink stay awake due to caffeine and are not able to judge their level of intoxication. This makes them feel less intoxicated and can cause them to drink more than they should be drinking. This can cause problems due to excess alcohol drinking.

2. Prednisone is a steroid and does not interact with alcohol or 5 hour energy drink to the best of my knowledge.

3. In conclusion, please check on your alcohol drinking if you take 5 hour energy drink with it.

Hope your query is answered.
Please do write back if you have any doubts.
