That's just way too much. You would get similar effects from drinking 7-8 cups of coffee.
I think the effects of 7 energy drinks are far worse than those of 7 cups of coffee.

Both are a bad idea though. I know a guy who hates his boring job and just drinks coffee all day long. Dude got heart palpitations sitting at his desk.

Drinking 3/4 redbull-vodka drinks was enough for me to feel similar, scary shit.
I fairly often have a couple of Jagerbombs when I go out to just perk me up a bit later on, but needless to say I don't sleep very well afterwards. If I get in at 3/4 I'm probably awake again by 8. So then the next day is just a zombiefest.

Does he know/care that he's signing up for the kidney stone club?

Are energy drinks dangerous?

@Zacheryah
"energy drinks" is a broad spectrum

34mg/100ml caffeine, a load of taurine(varies) and 30g/100ml sugar : increased heartrate and blood pressure. In certain individuals can cause blood pressure to keep at 17/11.

Without the sugar, during the effect of taurine and caffeine, increased heartrate. No blood pressure increase.


Caffeine is a signalisator for the adrenal glands. The Adrenal glands store vitamin C for their task. Depletion of this can cause a "burn out" (trough stress), or depressed state. You do need to get quite some stress and cafeine to get there.

Caffeine is also a soft diureticum, it makes the body clear more water, but regardless of the concentration of this water. If you dont drink enough, it will be much more concentrated and cause the kidneys to work harder. This is not good.



If you want drink energydrinks, dont be a peasant shitfucktard and take the sugar free versions. I recommand Monster Ultimate Zero (the blue one). Drink at least 2-3 liters of liquid per day. Can be anything that doesnt contains alcohol or sugar. Aspartane is fine.
