Energy drinks?!


Question:

Energy drinks?

At work, I deal with this guy from Germany who told me that they don't even sell any kind of energy drinks because they are so bad for you... if they are so bad, why do we still sell them here in America? Shouldn't they be banned here too?


Answers:
I don't know if this is true or not but according to a website that I was just looking at today states the following:

Drinking certain amounts of specific energy drinks can kill you.

For a 100 lb. person death can be caused by...

85.31 cans of Red Bull
86.39 cans of SoBe Adrenaline Rush
48.75 cans of Monster
42.66 cans of Rock Star
71.84 cans of TaB Energy Drink
24.38 cans of Cocaine Energy Drink

Like I said, I don't know how true or accurate it is but why chance it?

what about them? if you need so go to big lots! they have the best i have my kitchen's full of them!!!!

americans are gluttens for punishment.

The main ingredient of most energy drinks is caffeine which is legal. Caffeine can cause sleeping problems, naussia, dehydration, etc, but nothing major like cancer etc.
Just don't drink oo much

A LOT of things should probably be banned in america! even things we know for a FACT cause cancer and birth defects, ie: ciggs, alcohal.....are still legal here, with restrictions of course! So, until someone actually developes cancer or DIES from energy drinks, we will be able to buy them at the corner store.
