Heard about a story on the news a few days ago, apparently some kids heart had stopped beating. This was caused by the Rockstar energy drink. The doctors also tested the energy drink, and it was evident there was a lot more caffeine than the amount being shown in the Nutritional Facts.

According to tests, the labels aren't even truthful.

Still, the label says like only drink one or two a day, I think you would have to drink more that that to die from the caffeine... Wouldn't you?

That makes sense. But we need to think about this individuals metabolism, maybe it was low?

If it was low, he shouldn't be drinking it I believe on monster and redbull packages it says "Please do NOT drink if you are Pregnant, Overweight, have metabolism issues, Diabetes, or Problems with Caffeine intake."

I think it says somethign similar on rockstars

Well.. they are probably other kids like him putting themselves in these types of situations, so the store owners need to enforce or re-enforce some rules on who, and who isn't allowed to purchase these energy drinks. Just my opinion.
