If you’ve got kids – you NEED to warn them...
If you’ve got a kid over the age of 5 – chances are they’re curious about those energy drinks. You NEED to convince them they’re no good – and can cause major health problems for kids, teens and even young adults. They’ve got large amounts of caffeine and other stimulants – and the American Association of Poison Control Centers has seen a huge spike in caffeine overdose – especially in kids under 19.
Even more at risk are young people with ADHD, or on any kind of medication. Mixing these drinks with other drugs or alcohol can be deadly.
