8. Health experts recently called for warning labels on energy drinks, pointing out the effects of “caffeine intoxication”- a syndrome that can cause anxiety, insomnia, gastrointestinal (stomach) upset, tremors, rapid heartbeat, and even death.

This contrasts the way that these drinks are advertised.
