![]() ![]() If you’re a healthy adult with an active lifestyle, I’d say that you can safely drink Redline a couple of times a week. I’d say that the ideal amount for me hovers around 100 mg since I already feel a substantial boost from that.ģ16 mg may seem overwhelming for you and I don’t blame you! I definitely do not recommend Red Bull for those who have low caffeine tolerance or those who are still beginners to energy drinks. Most energy drinks I sample usually range between 50 to 200 mg of caffeine only. Just so it sinks in how strong Redline is, consider how Red Bull only has 80 mg of caffeine per can and yet has the reputation of getting students through all-night cram sessions. It contains a fearsome 316 mg of caffeine, giving you an instant energy boost that will get you roaring to go. You may want that extra boost, but boost yourself too high, and you’re in bad territory with an energy drink addiction.To say that Redline is a powerful energy drink is an understatement, to say the least. People need to be aware of how much caffeine is in the energy drinks they consume and track their daily caffeine intake so that they don’t drink dangerous amounts. As energy drinks become even more popular, and energy drink addiction becomes even more common, it’s so important for people to be aware of the risks of consuming too much caffeine. By 2001, there were 20,783 – a 200% increase in just four years. In 2007, there were 10,068 visits to the ER associated with energy drink consumption. In 2005, there were 1,494 visits to the ER associated with energy drink consumption. In other words, you feel less drunk but you’re actually more drunk. Caffeine mixed with alcohol can cause the dangerous scenario of increased intoxication mixed with decreased awareness of impairment. Energy drink addiction can cause insomnia, nervousness, headaches, increased or irregular heartbeat, anxiety, confusion, delirium, muscle trembling, nausea, and vomiting. For example, consume just two Redline energy drinks in one day, and you’ve already far exceeded the recommended maximum amount of caffeine – by 40%. The problem with energy drinks is that many people don’t realize the amount of caffeine they are consuming when they drink several energy drinks in one day, and most don’t even know what an acceptable level of caffeine is. ![]() One of the energy drinks with the most concentrated caffeine content is Redline, which contains 350mg of caffeine in just 2.5-oz. Many energy drinks have between 100mg and 200mg of caffeine per serving, but it can vary wildly. The Danger of Energy DrinksĮnergy drinks are particularly dangerous because of their high levels of caffeine. Also, as with any addiction, your tolerance for caffeine goes up over time, meaning you’ll need to drink more to feel the same amount of energy. It can take a week and sometimes more for withdrawal symptoms to go away, and just 100mg of caffeine per day can cause withdrawal. Withdrawal symptoms usually start 12-24 hours after you stop consuming caffeine, and they reach their peak about 12-48 hours later. The symptoms of caffeine withdrawal are headaches, fatigue, weakness, inability to concentrate, sleepiness, muscle tension, irritability, depression, anxiety, and nausea. The average 16-oz cup of coffee has 170mg of caffeine. The maximum amount of caffeine that anyone should consume in one day is 500mg. Even if your caffeine addiction isn’t wreaking havoc on your life, it can still cause unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. If you can’t function without a cup of coffee or an energy drink in the morning, or if you get a headache when you skip it, your body is addicted to caffeine. ![]() Caffeine AddictionĮnergy drink addiction s is actually addiction to caffeine. While energy drinks can give you a sugary, caffeinated boost of energy, they can also be dangerous. It’s estimated that as much as 50% of young adults consume energy drinks on a regular basis, and demographic that’s increasing its energy drink use the most is adults aged 40 and over. In recent years, the popularity of energy drinks has skyrocketed, and so has the occurrence of energy drink addiction. Do you need a Red Bull in the morning before you can start your day? Do 5-Hour Energy Shots keep you going at work? Do you abstain from alcohol and drink a Rockstar instead? You might have an energy drink addiction. ![]()
