    When school friends Sara and Stephanie were out celebrating the end of their exams, neither of them had imagined that the perfectly legal beverages they were drinking could kill them. But not long after drinking a few cans of pre-mixed energy drinks, Sara tragically died. How can a drink capable of killing a teenager be readily marketed and sold in stores around the world? Anja Taylor investigates what the potentially lethal ingredients in energy drinks really are, and checks out what consumers should know before taking a sip.

      +RedHairedRiot Who knows which energy drink she was drinking. They contain different chemicals. I have a page over raves and think that drinking energy drink with wodka once was verry normal but then they start to use new chemicals in energy drinks and they can cause a black out with 1 or 2 cans mixed with alc. - in the moment I think that it is verry dangerous to mix it. You can have 0 problems for years and than blackout from only 2 cans mixed with alc.

      Normal anywhere outside the US and maybe Canada (16 is the legal drinking age in most of Europe). Americans of that age smoke a lot more pot instead since it's more easily available than alcohol there (according to studies, which blame the black market for this as illegal drug dealers don't do age checks).

    I drink Energy Drinks all the time.
    It helps with my shyness and anxiety.
    Edit- I made this comment when I was 14, this was straight up just self medicating for undiagnosed ADHD at the time.
    In fact the amount of energy drinks I had at such a young age certainly didn't do my heart any favours, to the point where I would faint.
    Energy drinks are okay in moderation (even mixed with Alcohol, the problem there is not so much the caffiene, more the fact the caffiene masks how drunk you really are), I mean I do enjoy the odd jagerbomb, or a cocktail with a monster mixxed in here and there, but if you need caffiene and energy drinks to function, maybe there's an underlying issue that needs to be checked.

    I drank 2 a day sometimes up to 4 depending on work and stuff for years..I'd say about 8 years. I never had any crazy heart problems or medical condition contributed to energy drinks. I did stop drinking them though because it was 4 $ a day or roughly 112$ a month!! I started to know the names of the smokers standing in line every morning at the local convenience store by me while I waited to pay for my energy drinks. When I stopped, I got mad headaches and dizziness for about a week. After that I can't drink them anymore. I tried once but only finished about 1/4 of the can before getting really sick. I feel healthier off them though. They always made you feel bloated and sent your metabolism on a roll coaster, which also led to bad mood swings. I just feel better off them and so does my wallet! It also, I believe, led to me shedding a few pounds and I notice a decrease in my appetite.

  • @lazygamerz
    @lazygamerz 9 років тому +6

    I've drunk energy-drinks for about ten years now, and I have not been hospitalized for it. But people should definitely be aware that about 10 percent of the population has various heart-conditions, most not diagnosed, and these people can be adversely affected by caffeine (and other things that increase or decrease heart-rate). And caffeine is something you accumulate a tolerance to, if you have no caffeine for a week, then you're at zero tolerance again, and a single 250ml energy drink can give you the tremors (slight shaking in the muscles). To minimize the risk of caffeine you should drink the first no-tolerance can slowly, and not more than one on the first day. I think 2 or 3 energy-drinks in one day is more than enough, and should be the max. If you need more drinks than that, drink some orange juice, coca cola, tea, water, etc. Remember, caffeinated drinks dehydrate you slightly, so you need to drink your 1.5 liters (plus about half a liter through food) even if you drink a liter of energy drinks.

    In 2011 I almost died because of the green Monster Energy Drinks. Short story after drinking 3 over the course of the day I had passed out for over 40 hours from Kidney Failure. Laying on my right arm causing Compartment Syndrome & Rhabdomyolysis. Luckily I'm only disabled now instead of dead.
    I also add the long story if anyone wants to know the dangers of Energy Drinks. It's not just the green Monsters it's all energy drinks.

    • @lordkuku
      @lordkuku 2 роки тому

      Here's the long story:
      See back in 2011 I had bought a case of the 16oz Green Monster Energy Drinks. Over the course of the day I had drunk at least 3 of them causing me to pass out from Kidney Failure. When I passed out I laid on my right arm for over 40 hours. I passed out on a Sunday night sometime after 10pm, house sitting for a friend of mine while he was going to be out of town for 3 to 4 weeks for his job. Before he left he said I looked like I was awake but no one was home. Not only was I house sitting but also watching his 3 kids, 1 boy (age 17) and 2 girls (age 13 & 15). The boy went away for 2 days to wrestling camp and just left the 2 girls. On Monday morning the 2 girls needed a ride to babysit. Instead of shaking me to try and wake me they punched and kicked me and caused blunt force trauma to the back side of my right leg and right butt cheek. When I didn't wake up they just left me there and found another ride. Then they needed another ride on Tuesday and again punched and kicked me to try and wake me up but all it did was cause more damage to my body. You would think if someone was laying in the same spot and nothing had changed in the room, something isn't right and they should have called someone. Then later that Tuesday night I was making weird noises cause I was slowly dying. So the girls thought I was possessed, so they laid chicken bones out around the house and banged drum sticks together thinking they were going to get rid of the possession lol. The girls never thought of calling an adult or 911. Finally their brother came home from camp around 11pm Tuesday night and when he lifted me off my arm I guess I let out a howl like a wolf because of the pain. He tried to get one of his sisters to get some water to give me but they didn't want to come near me in fear that I was possessed, but at least he was able to convince one of his sisters to call my father who rushed over to the house pretty quickly. The 17 year old boy carried me up two flights of stairs and out to the car. By the time I got to the ER the docs were surprised I was still alive and said another hour my kidneys would have erupted and the poison would have killed me. They gave me many shots of Narcan with no result of waking me. All the tests that came back showed no drugs or anything in my system to cause me to pass out from Kidney Failure till the kidney doc saw the results and he thought I had done too much cocaine. Until I woke up 2 days later I assured him I have never touched that stuff. Then three days after thinking about what could have caused me to pass out I remembered the Energy Drinks and mentioned that to him and that's when he said "Well you should have just gone and got an eight ball of cocaine and used it all at one time, the test results would come back the same". The docs. had to cut my right forearm open exposing the muscle that was 11in wide by 14in long (basically the size of a small football) because of the Compartment Syndrome. The nurses also had to give me a catheter cause I couldn't urinate for them, my father said when it came out like black molasses. The second day they had to put a catheter in my chest to run dialysis and a wound vac on my right arm because of the Compartment Syndrome. Back to the first day I was in hospital they had put this medication on my open wound on my right forearm in the form of a nylon mess. The nurses forgot to take it off before adding the wound vac. So for 28 days going through dialysis for 6 to 8 hours every other day and the wound vac had to be changed every other day from the dialysis. Then the nurses needed me to give them a specimen sample and I had me bare down and push it out and in doing so the catheter in my chest blew out covering the bathroom in red. They rushed me to surgery and put a permanent catheter in my jugular. So I now have a 7in scare going across my neck and a 3in by 11in scare down my right forearm. The day I was being released from the hospital the doc took off the wound vac and said "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT STILL DOING THERE" referring to the nylon mess medication. He then said he was sorry but he had no choice but to pull the medication out cause it has embedded itself into my forearm muscle. Nylon gloves, nylon mess and blood don't mix and become very slippery. He tried to rip the medication out of my forearm like you try to rip off a bandaid really quick. It took him 3 to 4 pulls before he got it out but I screamed like a 2 year old girl jumping on a metal nail and it went through the foot. The pain was so intense I can't explain it. So now I'm left being permanently disabled. I have no use of my right hand and very little use of my right leg. The doctors said had I got there on that Monday morning they would have kept me overnight for observation and would have been fine by Tuesday. If I happen to fall asleep, when I wake it feels as if someone was standing above me stabbing me with hot steak knives and pitchforks. Till I take my meds then I feel the pins and needle like you would if your hand or foot was to fall asleep. I have that feeling 24/7 - 365 a year. I didn't have insurance so I wasn't able to go to a pain doc. I had to go to a normal doc. that over prescribed me pain meds. I was getting 180 10/325 Percocet, 180 10/325 Vicodin (for breakthrough pain) and 15 250mg Fentanyl Patches every month for three years. Then I was able to get to a pain doc. that only gave me only 90 Percocets. I found myself in another hospital for 5 day to get off the painkillers that I had become dependent on. Now I only take Suboxone for the pain and it doesn't help much except to relieve the hot knives and pitchforks but I still have the pins and needles feeling till I can smoke some Cannabis that takes all the pain away and helps a lot with depression and panic attacks.
      Amen to God's given gift, if it wasn't for Cannabis I would have died from opiates years ago.
      Even knowing I was passed out the entire time. I was able to put all the pieces together by talking to the 3 kids and their father, I was able to see the complete picture of what had happened to me.
      I Can't post pictures here but I did open a gofund me account, just asking for only $1 because I had to ask for something. I just wanted my story out there to help others.

Hearing about these kids who consume 3 to 6 a day is insane! I mean, I feel pretty shitty about having one and begin to question whether or not it has a substantial effect on my health but there are people who down 5 in a few hours?!?!?! If you're one of those people I'd genuinely be interested in hearing what goes through your mind.

    Drank 4-5 rockstars everyday for 3 years while working construction, and have had at least one a day for probably the last 7 years didn't have any noticeably harmful effects. Slowly over the last year or so Ive cut down because of worsening anxiety, and now I've stopped because the anxiety has gotten so bad, not to mention I get heart palpitations still to this day. Unfortunately it seems its a permanent part of my life now. Moderation as with everything is the key here guys. I built up such a tolerance that I would feel nothing from the 4 energy drinks but did it anyway just to get whatever help I could. I'm not sure if it was the energy drinks but I think its likely. Be careful guys, it may have helped me temporarily but now I have to deal with a pretty crippling issue daily.
    Oh and I personally have never seen a negative correlation with drinking alcohol with energy drinks. One of my fav drinks is vodka and redbull and it helps me feel a little less sleepy from the alcohol. As I get pretty drowsy from drinking.

      True. And also, any people with the least bit of intelligence would not drink cans of energy drink in consecutive days, each day. ... And since energy drinks are not to be drunk rapidly while it hot like coffee, it can be drunk (and is prefered to be drunk) slowly (and with resealable cans, they can last for more than a day and still taste good). Energy drink cans also warn that people who are sensitive to caffein, to not drink energy drinks (and if you don't know that you have a sensitivity to caffein, or a health problem arises after many usage of energy drink, the person should be the only one to blame not the energy drink).

    By the way, if you want more energy, exercise, then eat more, then you exercise more, then you eat more, then you exercise more. Remember, the reason we are lazy is because we evolved to save calories (fat) for times when we have little food. But today, we don't have little food, we in fact have lots of food, and we can eat steak, cake and sandwiches as much as we want, so if we use a hundred calories more by working out then its just another piece of cake we can eat. So being lazy is depriving you of cake! :P

One day lived off of the energy drinks to stay up for long hours to do school work. At the end of the second day I was depressed and angry and broken down. I don't know how many cans I drank but it was way over 5 in those 48 hours. After that I started to cut down until I quit.

    I fitted and passed out during an HIIT class after drinking 2 x 330ml Lucozade energy drink on an empty stomach. No history of epilepsy before or. since,. Broke 2 ribs falling against a step.
    Very embarrassing, never again
