Nos Energy Drink danger?

Question

Just recently I hung out with my friends and I tried my first Nos energy drink. I thought it was pretty good and figure that id probably get more. I went on the internet to search for their "site" and when i did that i also came across web pages sayin that Nos Energy drink is bad for people. Is it really that dangerous?. i understand the high amount of caffeine for a little person but im 17 and weigh 180 pounds. so i figure it cant affect me that bad. So is there a limit to how much to drink that stuff. Like would it be bad to go out and have 2 one night or what? What are some of the serious side affects of too much caffiene that could cause "death" (said in a web page about it)

Answer 1

my friend got heart palpitations from it once.  i would chill out with some green tea or something more natural dude.  yerba mate's also a great energizer, but doesn't string you out like NOS.

Answer 2

Anything with a lot of caffeine is bad for you. The health books will tell a person not to drink over one regular soda a day. A caffeine can cause cancer, cause bone problems, raise blood pressure, race your heart, kidney problems and many other health effects.

Answer 6

The amount of caffiene in the NOS and all those energy drinks is sad...it's the equivalent of a cup or two of coffee...Most of the time there's more caffiene in a large triple shot espresso...now would you be scared to have 2 large coffee's in a night...there's no danger...the danger is more likely when you mix it with a couple bottles of vodka and then go drive around...The lethal blood content of caffeine is very high frankly you would likely vomit beforedrinking enough to injure yourself...the only way to get to a dangerous level would be with a couple of bottles of caffeine pills like no-doz..

Answer 7

it will make your nose grow, give you buck teeth and make your eyes bulge... pretty cool huh?

Answer 8

if you constantly drink that redbull or any other energy drink/shot. you can get diabeetes

Answer 9

They're not going to kill you. But many of these increasingly popular drinks contain significant amounts of caffeine, which can make you jittery and cause insomnia, as well as loads of sugar, which nobody needs. Worse, these drinks are often marketed to kids and teenagers, many of whom already struggle with their weight and don't need to add a caffeine addiction. Energy drinks are rip-offs I personally think!

Breaking News Alerts In a study published last year in the Journal of Analytical Toxicology, Bruce A. Goldberger , director of toxicology at the University of Florida College of Medicine, tested the caffeine content of 10 energy drinks, including Red Bull, Red Devil, NOS, and Hair of the Dog.

In most energy drinks, he said, caffeine levels were higher than the FDA limit for sodas, which is 65 mg of caffeine per 12 ounces. The FDA does not regulate caffeine in energy drinks, some of which, like Cocaine, contain huge amounts of caffeine: 280 mg in an 8.4-ounce serving, compared with about 100 mg per 6 ounces in coffee.

Overall, caffeine is relatively benign and is not associated with life-threatening health risks, but at Hopkins University it is being promoted in the form of energy drinks and, alarmingly, in many cases to children and adolescents.

Caffeine can increase anxiety, panic, some stomach problems, and some cardiac arrhythmias. Although some data suggest that drinking coffee can be good for you. You should not mistake coffee or caffeine as a health food.
