Energy Drink Overdose Danger

Energy Drink Overdose Danger

Approximately 30-50 percent of adolescents and young adults consume energy drinks. According to a recent study, “these drinks have been reported in association with serious adverse effects, especially in children, adolescents, and young adults with seizures, diabetes,cardiac abnormalities, or mood and behavioral disorders or those who take certain medications.” In addition, “of the 5,448 U.S. caffeine overdoses reported in 2007, 46% occurred in those younger than 19 years.” The concern has reached a level at which a number of countries and states are considering restricting the sale of the drinks.
