Five people have died after drinking caffeine laden Monster Energy drinks, according to media reports.
Both the New York Times and Fox News are reporting that there have been 5 deaths, and one person suffered a non-fatal heart attack, after drinking Monster Energy. The energy drinks are manufactured by Corona, California, based Monster Beverage Corp.
Monster Energy drinks come in 24 ounce cans and contain 240 mg of caffeine.
For comparison, a 12 ounce can of regular Coke contains 30 to 35 mg. That makes 240 mg sound like a huge amount, and perhaps it is. Thats the comparison the major media sites use when speaking of how much caffeine is loaded into the Monster Energy drinks.
I write this topic, so please post below, what you think of it, thanks!

I drink 2 cans of monster five days a week.
I am typing this.
There is a reason it says not for young children on the label.

I don't see the pleasure in drinking these types of drinks, they're disgusting, over-rated and you COULD die from them. I honestly think kids drink them because it makes them look cool, which is not good because these drinks are not harmless.

I agree with you BigWes, they`re %100 harmful and I have heard of LOADS of kids dying from them, they should be banned.

Yes! I am yet to drink one because of the side affects, plus it leads to obesity as well.
