"According to recent studies, those high energy drinks can actually cause major health problems in children, teens, and young adults". "kids will come in with headaches, abdominal pain...and chest pain. I've had them with the chest pain and espagastric pain, increased heart rate". To me this is a big duh!!!! Kids drink several of these a day and they have 5 times the caffeine of a soda among other chemicals. In addition, they are as popular as they have ever been and are flying off the shelf. One amazing stat is about half of the kids getting sick are under 6! Who in the hell is giving a toddler an energy drink. I suppose now somebody is going to want to regulate or put a warning label on them.

They already have warning labels.
I can't stand these things. I get really nervous after drinking them and they lack the calming effect that coffee gives. Some of them have as much caffeine as 6 cans of coke. I can't imagine anyone drinking these like soda.
A lack of sleep is one reason teens drink these things. I really wish they would move the start time for high school to later in the morning. Teens are wired to wake up later, yet school starts as early as 7 am in some schools. They will not do it because some teens take care of younger siblings after school so high school has to end first. They also will not because of after school jobs.

I only drink them at conventions. I barely get any sleep at them. I find that Venom is the best of the bunch.

Thats crazy, I have a container of Venom in my fridge but I never drink that stuff. someone left it at my home, uncracked.DebrisStormI only drink them at conventions. I barely get any sleep at them. I find that Venom is the best of the bunch.
Thats cool. Try it sometime. It tastes like carbonated kool-aid.
I did'nt know they had warning labels because I do not drink them but I guess that makes sense. my wife occasionally drinks monster and my son Amp. Fortunately not that often. I wonder if there are any high schools that sell energy drinks in vending machines.

Depends on the school. I think with all of the fitness stuff going on, they're being removed. And the warning usually warn about pregnant women drinking them, and kids under 3. Also, depending on the size of the can, it usually says that shouldn't be more than 3 cans a day.

This. Anyone that drinks more than the suggested amount in a day and becomes sick shouldn't be surprised at all.
I still have one watermelon Four Loko that I'm saving for a rainy day. :P
If you drink them enough, your body tends to get used to them. Redbulls do nothing for me now.

Exactly. Thats why I go through droughts of not drinking them.

Some people also get rebound headaches when they stop drinking them. It's caused from not having the caffeine. They can also get rid of a headache.

Four lokos are crazy in NY. If a party doesn't have it, someone will go out of their way to bring it.
Duh. I'm probably allergic to them anyway. I get heart palpitations after literally two sips.
I kid you not, my husband was working crazy hours last year so he started drinking a few Monsters a day and his lymph nodes became completely red and swollen (armpits.) We thought it was a rash or some horrible disease, but it went away after I told him to stop drinking them.

I drink Red Bull and Amp. Sobe tastes pretty bad, though.
What about this?
