Once I was working 70 hours a week and running on 4 hours or less sleep a night. I was drinking 3-4 5 hour energies and 2 20 oz red bulls a day.

You wouldn't have gotten kidney stones if you also drank shitloads of water. I'm guessing your dehydration was worse for your kidney stones than the actual energy drinks.

When I was 14, I got some friends together. And we spent about 40$ in energy drinks (about 24 cans) and mixed them all into a jug. We all ended up in the hospital that night. Fun times. Middle school was a bad trip gone right.
you always hear about people who go to hospital but noone has really died from an energy drink overdose. people drink them and then act suprised when their heart starts beating faster, like thats literally point of energy drinks. also, drinking that much of anything could put you in hospital
I used to be very heavily addicted to energy drinks, I had so many a day/week that I would actually feel aching in my heart area, I would ignore it and continue drinking though.. It went on for years until I met my girlfriend (now fiancée) and she forced to me to stop, since then I've only had one or 2 every 2-5 months, I still have them but not often at all. And it usually takes me whining my fiancée to just let me have 1 for 10 minutes before I'm allowed to buy one. The thing that makes energy drinks so addicting to me is how it tastes when you mix sweets (AKA candy) with them, especially sour sweets, mixing the energy drinks with the sweets makes such a gorgeously sugary taste that to this day I still crave... Plus the drinks themselves usually just have a really nice taste to them too, but just even better mixed with sour sweets. They have never really given me "energy" to be honest.. It was always about the taste for me, the energy it was meant to give me I never even saw, in fact it sometimes made me feel tired.
You probably got used to high levels of caffeine so it took more and more to give you the energy feeling, I'm currently struggling w the addiction and get tired from too many as well :)

Selin Naz Sur, Be careful what you wish for. Caffeine’s effectiveness is limited by your brain’s neurotransmitters. You can call this your lifeforce or brainpower or whatever. It dictates how healthy, energetic, focused and smart, prone to diseases you are and much more. It even dictates how sexually active you are. This power gives you a shield, a tolerance if you will, against caffeine. The more your brain loses this power, the more caffeine will work. You will lose this power slowly when you get old or if you destroy it with drugs. I’d say be happy if you have high levels of this lifeforce. Don’t take it for granted, and enjoy it. There are old people and well, junkies, who would give anything to feel like you feel just by default.
Well, it depends on how much you had. If you had a typical glass worth before bed, and only affected alittle, then your tolerance is high, and to a typical person, it'd be equal to that of Melatonin before bed (has a bit of caffeeine in it, variants may differ on how much it has). I have a high tolerance, and I know I could "theoretically" push 4 energy drinks, I'd rather not test it. Let alone I dont get many, and even if I did, 1 a day, like = 2 cups of coffee. Trained myself on that "boundary" so I don't over do it. Also I sip on it most of the day, not chug it down.
Ginseng also helps your body increase ATP production in cells, and for me makes them much more effective, so I'd definitely consider it a active ingredient.

I've worked on a medical chart that was a college kid who came in with a heart attack after drinking a lot of red bulls; no preexisting heart condition, and he was in a normal weight range. He survived, but I still think about the case, wondering if he had long term effects afterwards (this was about 15 years ago).

I’m specking out of experience and I have even lowered my intake of energy drinks to zero because of family health issues but the biggest thing to keep in mind is how you handle caffeine at one point and for more than six months I was drinking anywhere from 10 to 11 cans of monster energy a day with no problems with sleep and a vary highly physical job. But I have to say now I’m dealing with the out come with my family health problems with heart problems and that the high amount of citric acid has weakened my tooth enamel and that’s not including the caffeine withdrawals that can make you feel like your losing your mind. So in my opinion just drink a can very so often but not as a long term solution. You’ll find it better to not drink them in all if you want more information about the problems that also are mentioned above just ask me I’ll be up front about it.

My military banned energy drinks. But still had 12 hour nightshifts with unlimited coffee, then noisy accommodation that disturbed your sleep. You could set your watch to the routine first jet taking off every morning. Typical military logic.

@Holden Mcgroine It's one ultra monster in the morning. I've basically completely quit aspartame lately. Monster does not have any,and my tea is splenda.(which is at most, once a day), otherwise it's water. For my body personally, 1 sugar-free drink is safer then adding onto my already-high morning blood sugar.(140-150,just in the morning. Hour and a half later after dinner I'll be like 112.)
I’m a guy in his 50’s. I work a heavy manual style job. I drank two cans of monster per day, 5 days a week for over a year.

When you give your bodies the tools to make the ingredients that give you energy rather than injecting the energy into you, it's so much better for you
As a long term shift worker I will say there are some things that require caffeine, like rotating shifts with only 8 hour breaks in between. I also used to work for Coca-Cola as a merchandiser many years ago when the energy drink market was really starting to evolve and grow. I drank between 4 and 6 mega monsters a day during work. I won't say it was healthy, because it wasn't, but I discovered that I only noticed the jitters and rapid heartrate when I wasn't working hard. If I kept working, I was perfectly comfortable lol. Talk about work incentive 🤣
Yes in the EU it is regulated that there can be only 32mg caffeine per 100ml in a drink. So waaay less than in the US. Strange that the coffee stays the same. It should have about 50mg per 100ml
@@MikuSar in the eu you can have way more than 32mg/dl caffeine but only in the tiny shot-sized bottles They can get away with it because it's not a food item like soda or energy drinks, it's a health or energy supplement.

While I was serving in the army we had a major evaluation that was carried out at night. We were deployed to Qatar and it just so happened that it was scheduled during the summer. Sleep was hard to come by even with AC's going at full blast. My rotation went a cup of coffee, a bottle of water, a rip it/monster, a bottle of water, repeat. I kept the tabs, over 10 days I drank 56 cans of energy drinks. The effect combined with the extensive training I can only describe as feeling like your body was constructed from ashes.
8:33 just so most people know 90% of energy drinks contain way less than half of this so this is kinda blown out of proportion! most energy drinks contain 32mg/100ml so 250ml can=80mg caffeine and 500ml can=160mg caffeine

@@seigisama9139 Studies have found that they significantly overreport the amount of caffeine in Death Wish. Instead of 300mg per cup (200% more), it's about 150; roughly 50% more than normal coffee
I've completely stopped drinking energy drinks. Turns out it takes awhile to actually get it fully out of your system, I was continuously drinking them because of long work shifts online at home. 3+ cans a week sometimes as much as 15. So I was constantly consuming them. I do not drink alcohol or do drugs. One morning I woke up feeling the room spinning and feeling as if I was greening out. (I've taken edibles only a few times, and it doesn't mix well with my system so I don't take them) I ended up going to the ER 8 times in the next two months for reoccurring symptoms, and I stopped drinking energy drinks the first time I went to the ER. For the next months though, I was having constant episodes of panic attacks and going through severe caffeine withdrawal. My stomach lining was wrecked as well, and my body was just generally shutting down because of the lack of energy drinks. It's actually super common, just no warning of the symptoms. Right now, I'm still building back my immune system and everything in general, and dealing with derealization. I think the worst of the symptoms was throwing up bile and blood, and I've had countless blood tests taken and a MRI done and It's definitely the energy drinks. Luckily healthcare is generally covered so only about 500 out of pocked overall. Seriously though, avoid drinking them. I've heard this happening to people who only have a couple each week. It's not worth it, and the only way to get through the effects is to sit it out. For some people it can last as long as a year to get over.
It takes about 10,000 mg of caffeine to have a lethal overdose. Probably around 5,000 to induce coma If taken over two or three days. For perspective a can of monster has about 160 mg of caffeine so drinking 62.5 cans of them in a few days would be outright lethal and around half of that would be a severe overdose. Taking into account caffeine from other sources and you could probably get an overdose of caffeine in about 25ish cans over a few days. That would be around 8 in a day getting progressively worse the longer you kept up that level of intake. Oddly enough you would get a vitamin b overdose at around the same time causing gas and mild nausea.
I had a friend I met in third grade. We went to the same middle school and high school also. From about 6th grade on, that kid would shake so bad throughout class. I'm sure it was because he kept drinking those things too much. Haven't seen him in about 14 years but I doubt anything has changed.
Can you do a video comparing energy drinks and coffee with caffeine pills? I've been taking caffeine pills lately because I figured it's healthier. There is no stained teeth or effects from acidity like you get when consuming coffee, and doesn't have all the additives that energy drinks do. What do you think?
As a former consumer, energy drinks worked way better than coffee for me and gave me at least 5 hours of energy (and on rare occasions, let me last the whole day). However, it soon became clear that my body got hooked onto it and when I just stopped suddenly, the withdrawals were horrible. For 2 days, my brain felt like it was on fire and 3 days, I had a strong headache. Don't get hooked 😅
On my first clinical back when I became an EMT, the student who had done the clinical before mine said that a young man had come to the hospital in full cardiac arrest after drinking four Monsters. They were unable to revive him. I had a cardiac arrest while I was there too and it was due to the blockage of the entire left coronary artery (commonly referred to as a widow maker) and we not only got this guy back after the initial heart attack, but we got him back after he had a second one before the treatments we were giving him busted up the clot. This guy was 40 years old with a probably genetic cause for his tendency towards having a heart attack, but the teenager who died on the shift before mine had no known family history of heart attacks and could not be revived at all. Maybe he had been in cardiac arrest longer, which is likely, but you'd think that he would have stood a better chance of survival than the older man that I worked on.
1:29 some guy thought “if I get very awake from drinking 20 coffee beans with water, what if I drank 200 coffee beans with water.” and then that guy became the flash, or overdosed I’m not sure.
i remember i was 21, owned a butchers shop. some of my employees that were also mates of mine grabbed me the Monster Import cans (the one with a closeable top) 550ml. ended up drinking 4 of them in one day. fit healthy 78 kg no history, woke up at 3 am with a heart attack. i still drink small ones on a rare occasion but aint letting that happen again lol
I witnessed a buddy in high school down 5 Red Bull energy drinks and let’s say he looked like he had the rage and energy of the hulk without the muscles.
I used to drink up to five a day for years. Now I have chest pain and it feels like I'm going to have a heart attack out of nowhere. It's scary. Please be careful with these drinks. ❤️
Me too also used to to drink at least 1.5 l of energy drink almost every day for 3 years and after 3 years i got heart attack bearly survived i wish i watched this video before.
I drink energy drinks but I'm responsible with them. I drink them once every few months and drink only small sips at a time. You see kids, energy drinks are terrible for you, but sometimes you just need an extra boost
I mean it is "only7", ik a guy that for 2 weeks had 10-15 drinks a day, survived no prob, only bad effect was he slept 3hrs a day, but he didn't ever feel sleepy/tired so no negative effects, at least visiable ones. I had 10 a day with another half a liter of shots, and 10ish beers a day, for 5 days last time I was in czech republic, and half of my class had around the same intake of alcohol and energy drinks, neither of us died.
It's milligrams per kilogram, so if your body weight is 50kg, you'd be able to take up to 125mg. Probably a conservative metric that doesn't consider tolerance and metabolism, but dosing advice would be too convoluted if it did.
Cool. For me, as an IT, it's unadulterated, un-sugar-ed, lightly almond/cashew milk-ed Kona coffee. Reason I don't drink energy drinks is because of all the un-natural, laboratory inspired additives. To each their own.
How old are you? When I was 13-18 I could sometimes easily have 7-15 energy drinks in around a day if I wanted. Now that I'm 21 im struggling sometimes to even drink 5 in a day so I usually have 2-3.
A close friend and my brother-in-law both died a few months apart. Both had brain aneurysms. Both drank Red Bull on a regular basis, sometimes with alcohol. I've always thought there was a strong connection.

Its actually over a gram (1000mg) per day f caffene where i feel ANY nefatice effects.

I’m specking out of experience and I have even lowered my intake of energy drinks to zero because of family health issues but the biggest thing to keep in mind is how you handle caffeine at one point and for more than six months I was drinking anywhere from 10 to 11 cans of monster energy a day with no problems with sleep and a vary highly physical job. But I have to say now I’m dealing with the out come with my family health problems with heart problems and that the high amount of citric acid has weakened my tooth enamel and that’s not including the caffeine withdrawals that can make you feel like your losing your mind. So in my opinion just drink a can very so often but not as a long term solution. You’ll find it better to not drink them in all if you want more information about the problems that also are mentioned above just ask me I’ll be up front about it.

As a long term shift worker I will say there are some things that require caffeine, like rotating shifts with only 8 hour breaks in between. I also used to work for Coca-Cola as a merchandiser many years ago when the energy drink market was really starting to evolve and grow. I drank between 4 and 6 mega monsters a day during work. I won't say it was healthy, because it wasn't, but I discovered that I only noticed the jitters and rapid heartrate when I wasn't working hard. If I kept working, I was perfectly comfortable lol. Talk about work incentive 🤣
The guy in the story that disappeared had diabetes and tried to blame the energy drinks. When they got called out, it all disappeared
I've never seen an energy drink that didn't list the caffeine content.
same here ... all the ones i have tried have it right on the can
He said they’re incorrect though. They list lower numbers to the actual amount of caffeine actually in it.
I think its different food standards among different countries. I think the caffeine content needs to match in Europe as there is also a maximum set.
Yes in the EU it is regulated that there can be only 32mg caffeine per 100ml in a drink.
So waaay less than in the US.
Strange that the coffee stays the same. It should have about 50mg per 100ml
@@MikuSar in the eu you can have way more than 32mg/dl caffeine but only in the tiny shot-sized bottles They can get away with it because it's not a food item like soda or energy drinks, it's a health or energy supplement.

8:33 just so most people know 90% of energy drinks contain way less than half of this so this is kinda blown out of proportion! most energy drinks contain 32mg/100ml

I've learned the hard way, if I do a 5 Hour Energy Shot when I'm already tired, it knocks me out like a sleeping pill.
Yeah because caffeine actually makes you tired at first. After like 30 minutes later it will actually freshen you up.
I've completely stopped drinking energy drinks. Turns out it takes awhile to actually get it fully out of your system, I was continuously drinking them because of long work shifts online at home. 3+ cans a week sometimes as much as 15. So I was constantly consuming them. I do not drink alcohol or do drugs. One morning I woke up feeling the room spinning and feeling as if I was greening out. (I've taken edibles only a few times, and it doesn't mix well with my system so I don't take them) I ended up going to the ER 8 times in the next two months for reoccurring symptoms, and I stopped drinking energy drinks the first time I went to the ER.
For the next months though, I was having constant episodes of panic attacks and going through severe caffeine withdrawal. My stomach lining was wrecked as well, and my body was just generally shutting down because of the lack of energy drinks. It's actually super common, just no warning of the symptoms. Right now, I'm still building back my immune system and everything in general, and dealing with derealization. I think the worst of the symptoms was throwing up bile and blood, and I've had countless blood tests taken and a MRI done and It's definitely the energy drinks. Luckily healthcare is generally covered so only about 500 out of pocked overall.
Seriously though, avoid drinking them. I've heard this happening to people who only have a couple each week. It's not worth it, and the only way to get through the effects is to sit it out. For some people it can last as long as a year to get over.

Friend of mine had an overdose from caffeine. She lived, but went into a coma for a couple days
Everything in moderation.
How much she use?
Uh, overdosing on caffeine is nye impossible so there was likely another contributing factor you’re overlooking or did not catch.
@@FatalFist Not nearly impossible, it is 100% possible and doable, it's just most people don't get to that point.
It takes about 10,000 mg of caffeine to have a lethal overdose. Probably around 5,000 to induce coma If taken over two or three days. For perspective a can of monster has about 160 mg of caffeine so drinking 62.5 cans of them in a few days would be outright lethal and around half of that would be a severe overdose. Taking into account caffeine from other sources and you could probably get an overdose of caffeine in about 25ish cans over a few days. That would be around 8 in a day getting progressively worse the longer you kept up that level of intake.
Oddly enough you would get a vitamin b overdose at around the same time causing gas and mild nausea.

As a former consumer, energy drinks worked way better than coffee for me and gave me at least 5 hours of energy (and on rare occasions, let me last the whole day). However, it soon became clear that my body got hooked onto it and when I just stopped suddenly, the withdrawals were horrible. For 2 days, my brain felt like it was on fire and 3 days, I had a strong headache. Don't get hooked 😅
On my first clinical back when I became an EMT, the student who had done the clinical before mine said that a young man had come to the hospital in full cardiac arrest after drinking four Monsters. They were unable to revive him. I had a cardiac arrest while I was there too and it was due to the blockage of the entire left coronary artery (commonly referred to as a widow maker) and we not only got this guy back after the initial heart attack, but we got him back after he had a second one before the treatments we were giving him busted up the clot. This guy was 40 years old with a probably genetic cause for his tendency towards having a heart attack, but the teenager who died on the shift before mine had no known family history of heart attacks and could not be revived at all. Maybe he had been in cardiac arrest longer, which is likely, but you'd think that he would have stood a better chance of survival than the older man that I worked on.
It's probably due to the fact that they had different types of heart attacks. One had a plumbing issue, the other had an electrical problem.
1:29 some guy thought “if I get very awake from drinking 20 coffee beans with water, what if I drank 200 coffee beans with water.” and then that guy became the flash, or overdosed I’m not sure.
