The Poison Control Center has issued a warning about the danger of “overdosing” on energy drinks. Although the drinks aren’t harmful if you have one, apparently some people like college students drink too many and experience unpleasant side effects such as vomiting, headaches, heart palpitations, and nausea.

The problem seems to be that people overdose and call the poison control center for help, who are sometimes unsure what to do because of the scarce listings of ingredients on the energy drinks.

If you are pulling an all-nighter and need an energy kick, the Poison Control Center advises you try real food instead of energy drinks, such as eating whole-graim carbs, fruits, and veggies.

This just proves that people (particularly college students) should read the labels on food closer. With so much caffeine in energy drinks, it’s like drinking too many cups of coffee. Overall, people just need to watch what they put in their body better.
