Monster energy drink

Saw in the news today where Monster Beverage Corporation may be faced with a possible lawsuit regarding their energy drinks:

Very sad news to hear of the death of this young lady. According to the article she seemed to already have a pre-existing heart condition.

Wow, I didn't know that these energy drinks were that powerful. The article says that two 24 oz. cans of the energy drink has enough caffeine to equal fourteen 12 oz. cans of coke!!!!

Personally, I have never drunk any of these energy drinks. Has anyone else here ever drunk any type of energy drinks, and if so, what did you think of them?

That's a terrible story. I don't know a lot about these drinks, but it definitely sounds like some kind of cautionary notice should be on the can. If it contains that much caffeine, it could certainly be dangerous to consume too much of it.
