So... listening to the "news"...
A mother wants energy drinks banned from being sold to minors because her "10 year old son hallucinated" after 2 and a half cans of "Wicked"
Another guy reckons he "suffered caffiene intoxification" and it thus caused him to commit a burglary and he "didn't know what he was doing".
Any see either of these as a load of shit?

Nope, seems quite legit and in fact I too am concerned by said energy drinks...

To be fair 10 year olds shouldn't be drinking that shit, but hallucinations? Pffft sounds like the kid got hold of one of his mothers trips, crazy bitch.

Giving an energy drink to a 10 year old is like giving an 8 ball of crack to someone who's never had drugs.
Stupid bitch should have known better.

Parents are responsible for what they give their kids, cans are clearly marked to only have 1 500ml can consumed a day.
It's their fault, they can get fucked. I love Monster but I'm not gonna drink 10 cans in a day.

It's all good to stay away - its personal choice. You will find the caffiene content is no different to some of the supplements people take for weight loss like Xenadrine - HydroxyCut - BodyScience etc.
But in all honesty - if you are that stupid to drink the 6 or 8 or 14 some muppet claimed, words cannot describe your lack of common sense.
"Hi, I accidently, not intentionally, assaulted an individual from drinking my own urine, it was not my fault, it was at a cause of drinking my urine that it occured. I cannot be held accountable."

Why in some cases does the amount of drink in the can exceed the recommended daily intake on the same can?
These should be placed on the ban list with ciggarettes imo.

GOLD! lol
Personally - I find them useful if I am absolutely tired to shit.
Haven't seen many cans that exceed the daily limit themselves - but I know of the Gym just up from me selling one energy drink for workouts that reckon you can only drink half off it in a day unless you want to basically fall over dead.

As read from my mother can.
"CAUTION! HIGH CAFFEINE CONTENT. . . OK. WE KNOW THAT'S WHY YOU'RE DRINKING IT BUT OUR LEGAL GUYS MADE US WARN YOU NOT TOFEED THIS TO KIDS,WOMEN WITH A BUN IN THE OVEN,OR THE WEAK WHO JUST CAN'T TOLERATE IT"
They did say so.

It all comes down to the fact that most people are a bunch of fucking idiots.
Easy to knee jerk and have a go at the product in use rather than the user. That mum should have a broken bottle shoved into her vagina to prevent her from ever having another kid which she might fuck up more.

bah! poison your body any way you see fit, no need to start banning shit cos you cant handle yourself or your kid.
but honestly, people should worry more about the sugar content than the caffeine, shit will rott your teeth.
dont mind having one every now and then as a pick-me-up though.

The average ammount of caffeine in a cup of coffee is around 85mg, where as a 250ml can of red bull has off the top pf my head is also 85mg.
This thing on today tonight is full of crap.
Read the info on the can and follow it easy!!!!!!

People will always find someone else to blame for a misfortune they have caused themselves.
Their own common sense has prevailed. Why do you think there are warning labels on these things?
Last week it was sparklers, this week energy drinks.

I buy it by the carton - good for 12hr shifts at work lol
240ml bottle = 400mg of caffiene goodness.
Just have to make sure you never drink it on an empty stomach as it makes you trip bawls.

Speaking of bad drinks....this is an interesting link.
It's the 20 worst drinks in America and their sugar/carb equivalent.
Good old Rockstar energy drinks are worth 6 original glazed Krispy Kremes.

I'm a fan of the orange juice ones personally. They do make my teeth hurt though, but the 50% juice part gives me the illusion of 'healthy'...

"My bike was running like crap on my way home from work so I stopped at a gas station to get some NOS. I poured in 2 bottles and rode it home. Well I don't think it helped because it ran even worse on the way home and now it won't start. Any ideas? "
"It wasn't an energy drink. The bottles were blue and looked just like a NOS bottle "
"thanks. I dumped (2) 20oz bottles in a half tank of gas. Guess I over did it"
"Are you messing with us? Because the stuff that looks like a NOS bottle, IS an energy drink...I think you're screwin' with us...The fuel additive doesn't look like a NOS bottle... "
"are you fucking kidding me! now what do I do? "

energy drinks are dope, makes ur piss neon green/ yellow :PYellow piss is generally caused by not drinking enough water. Green is something to worry about, man. For a few months I was drinking about a Litre of V a day (2x 500mL cans) plus coffee through the day, sometimes with another can over lunch, and my piss never went green.
There is more caffeine in a single cup of coffee than in ANY energy drink, including coke. They have other shit too, which is what gets you going. Most drinks these days have about a gram of Taurine, which has similar cardiological and neurochemical reactions as caffeine. Gurana, same.
The other thing is they all have exactly 12.5 metric fucktons of sugar in them, which isn't good. This, more than anything else, is what *MIGHT* cause hallucinations - none of the other ingredients/chemicals could cause it, but a severe sugar high can, especially if the person has brain/heart problems like epilepsy.
There's other minor things in there that also do good/bad stuff depending on how you look at it, but those are the main things.
