Press Release Summary: Nutramist,Energy Drinks Source of Too Much Caffeine, say
Researchers

Press Release Body: The majority of users consumed one energy drink to treat most
situations although using three or more was a common practice to drink with alcohol
while partying (49%). Weekly jolt and crash episodes were experienced by 29% of
users, 22% reported ever having headaches, and 19% heart palpitations from consuming
energy drinks. There was a significant dose effect only for jolt and crash episodes.

The study found that the use of energy drinks is a popular practice among
college students for a variety of situations. Although for the majority of
situations assessed, users consumed one energy drink with a reported frequency
of 1 - 4 days per month, many users consumed three or more when combining with
alcohol while partying. Further, side effects from consuming energy drinks are
fairly common, and a significant dose effect was found with jolt and crash
episodes. Future research should identify if college students recognize the
amounts of caffeine that are present in the wide variety of caffeine-containing
products that they are consuming, the amounts of caffeine that they are
consuming in various situations, and the physical side effects associated with
caffeine consumption.
