One word: spurious correlation. This is tragic but compare that too how many people drink pots of coffee everyday without issue and it seem silly to even publicize. Like someone dying from drinking too much water.

In any event, I do agree that energy drinks need to be taken with caution of you're under 18.

Perhaps but I'm just telling you what it really said.

I think if he did this at 26 he'd live, maybe it had to do with being a lightweight?

That's not true at all. Caffeine is extremely addictive. Simply because of the shear number of people who abuse it it is probably a bigger public health concern than any other drug. The problem is people don't even recognize how bad it's affecting their life. Think of it like this. How many people are on anxiety medications, sleeping pills, etc when all they really need to do is cut back on caffeine. Don't get me wrong. Coffee is the GOAT. That doesn't mean you should be drinking a pot a day. Its really concerning how popular energy drinks are now days. People drink that sht all day long and wounder why they can't sleep well FFS.
we have not spent the last 65 million or so years finely honing our physiology to watch Oprah. Like it or not, we are the product of a very long process of adaptation to a harsh physical existence, and the past couple centuries of comparative ease and plenty are not enough time to change our genome. We humans are at our best when our existence mirrors, or at least simulates, the one we are still genetically adapted to live. And that is the purpose of exercise. - Mark Rippetoe

They don't know of any heart condition.

That does not mean he didn't have one they are as of yet unaware of or something else wrong. Obviously he did.

Being angry is easier than confronting your grief, and having someone/something to blame is easier than trying to understand that sometimes the world is a bastard.

I drank about 4L of energy drinks once when I was 16 or 17. I was pretty shaky but obviously I'm still alive.

(Specifically, it was a 12 can flat of 250 ml cans and then two full sized Rockstars.)

I 100% agree with everything you said. It's absurd, you walk into a Starbucks filled with soccer moms berating drug use and alcohol abuse while they suck down drinks with 60+ grams sugar and 400+ mg of caffeine not knowing that they have a chemical dependence on exactly that.
I admit all my threads suck :(

I've taken certain medications at a rather high dose + had around 500 or 600 mg of caffeine for studying and the worst thing I got was cramps from how fast I could type.

And I also felt like I was vibrating.

5 grams of caffeine will kill a healthy 200 lb male.

Not even a gram in what was consumed in op article.

A guy I knew died last year suddenly, he was 30 about as healthy as you could expect. Former baseball player, still in great shape pretty lean, worked out, etc. would always have a monster energy drink on him every time I'd see him. One day at work he just collapsed, cardiac event.

correct

Isn't it possible that the pathologist missed something though?

Yeah but looks as far as they know he was healthy and his heart would be fine if not for the energy cocktail

Obviously something else at play here. Either he took something else, or he had a preexisting condition. A normal healthy individual will not die from taking 350mg of caffeine in 2 hours.

EDIT: And if it was some reaction to the "cocktail" or the way they were mixed/ingested, then you can't blame that on straight caffeine.

Or it was just unexplained sudden death. Sad story and I feel for the family.

Looked up my daily French press coffee habit. 650 mg caffeine estimated. 2/3rds of that by about 9 am, then the rest mid-day. So far so good. No inclination to give it up.

Not even that much caffeine. How can they say that's what caused it? I could drink four red bulls in my early 20s in two hours while working in a 100+ degree kitchen.
