Have you ever been so tired you didn’t think you could keep from laying your head down on your keyboard? If you answered yes you are probably like the rest of us and caffeinated beverages are how you try to avoid the post lunch fatigue.
Things like Red Bull or Monster energy drinks seem to take over the fridges at gas stations and grocery stores. I’m guilty of having guzzled one or two of these heavily caffeinated cans in the past and they worked… maybe too well.
These drinks have made me feel shaky, nervous, and even caused my heart to beat unbelievably fast. Obviously the reason for these side-effects is the enormous amount of caffeine in these drinks. I’m just not sure if others are aware of how dangerous these drinks can be. What’s more frightening is how young many consumers of these drinks are.
