This is because people are not aware of the level of intoxication because of the same.
Most of the energy drinks are 100mg of caffeine in a 200ml drink. For adults, doctors recommend a daily caffeine intake of only 400mg. Though the warning sign on the drink suggests that this drink must not be taken by kids, the highest incidence of consumption of this drink is seen in youngsters.
