Before we begin, let us say that we love ourselves a good energy drink. There’s a time and a place, but evidently – and unfortunately – many people have seen a darker side of these sugar-caffeinated cans.
Apparently, those totally-awesome-hyped-up-bevs that super cool teenagers love so much are not just dangerous for your heart rate – but also, deadly. As this Grubstreet article details, there have been a shocking number – five, to be exact – of deaths linked to Monster energy drinks alone in the past year.
And the numbers only grow when you take into consideration drinks like the ever-popular Redbull and the recently infamous Four Loko.
Let’s think about this for a minute; it’s a topic worth examining. These things are sold legally, after all. If that’s not a scary Halloween tale, what is?
