What I love about the 5 hour energy drink story is the story stating that the link is "possible".
What they don't (or won't) disclose is that probably ALL the cases involved a person taking MORE than the recommended dose, usually because they were drunk/drinking and thought that taking 2 or more "doses" would counteract the alcohol/drugs.
Basically they OD on energy drink.
What I find ironically funny is that no other energy drink ad states the key statement that 5 Hour Energy does: "Try a little to see if you like it!" (How many energy drink ads advocate NOT drinking the hole can/bottle?)
If that doesn't sound like responsible marketing I don't know what does.
Like I said, the problem stems from abuse and misuse than just regular use.
