Poll of the Day > This 16 y/o Kid is DEAD after he drank MOUNTAIN DEW!!!

(+) Yeah! (+)

16 y/o Davis Cripe has died after his heart fell out of rhythm at Spring Hill High School in Chapin, South Carolina afer drinking too much caffeine!!

He drank a large MOUNTAIN DEW, a McDonalds Latte AND an Energy Drink in just TWO HOURS prior to his death..

He had no pre-existing heart condition as he was otherwise healthy.

His heartbroken father spoke about Davis and said "Davis was a great kid and being his parent was a great honour to Heidi and me. I stand before you as a heartbroken father and hope that something good can come from this. Parents, please talk to your kids about the dangers of these energy drinks. And teenagers and students, please stop buying them. There's no reason to consume them they can be very dangerous"

Coroner Watts agreed and said high consumption of caffeine products can be dangerous as it may not be a danger to everyone but that it could have deadly effects on some people and its best to only drink in small amounts.

The daily recommended limit for a healthy adult is 400mg a day of caffeine which is equal to 4 cups of coffee or 10 cans of soda.

Based on what Davis consumed, he had about 434mg....

Do you like mountain dew?

Something had to have been preexisting. 5 cups of coffee is more than that, and that doesn't kill most people, fortunately for me. Don't make a habit of drinking that much coffee, but I've definitely done it before.
---

I wonder if the other ingredients in the drinks makes the difference. Plus drinking that much and just sitting in class doesn't help either.

How many more lives will Mountain Dew claim before we finally ban it? #DewItForTheKids

pussy. my preworkout has 419mg of caffeine
---

I used to drink coffees with 5+ shots of espresso, most was 12 shots and never had an issue. Maybe it was some mix of all the different chemicals like someone else suggested that was the overlaying cause.

Energy drinks, not even once

Yeah uhuh

Hate to say it but we don't really have an epidemic of kids dropping dead from energy drinks.

The energy drink is likely the thing responsible

In addition to the caffeine they contain a massive amount of electrolytes which can alter your heart rhythm in unsafe doses. Young people especially should not be drinking them.

I don't understand why energy drinks have gotten so popular with younger people.
It's so much sugar and shit in those things and most of them don't even work out or anything.

I've read about a girl last year who got paralyzed because she drank so damn much energy drinks.
Hell, it has gotten so bad that you have to be at least 18+ now if you want to buy energy drinks from stores in my country.

They're literally more addictive than some street drugs.

Honestly, we probably shouldn't let kids drink them too.

I don't want to say it justifies it but, when you're a kid you just don't care about stuff like that. I used to drink so many Red Bulls when I was in high school and I did it knowing they were horrible or my health. Dumb kids just do dumb things.

I only like Supernova (RIP) and Voltage, but I hardly drink it.

I admit that I tried too when I was younger when I saw my twin brother drinks one.
It was simply too sugary for my tastes so never again.

Until recently when I bought a red bull sometimes at work because I felt so tired all the time and I thought that would help.
But I think that's a more legit reason than just because it taste good.

Consuming all that...meh. Never cared for energy drinks or fizzy soda either. So much of drawbacks and disadvantages from consuming it. I'd stick to just water.

But it's unfortunate what had happened to this boy.
