What the petition asks
My brother died August 2017 at the age of 25. We’re convinced this was due to drinking an excessive amount of energy drinks a day (up to 15). This increased his state of depression leading him to commit suicide. People should be aware of the risks these drinks can have, especially on young lives.
Too much caffeine will keep you awake causing sleep deprivation. Caffeine has the ability to raise a person's blood pressure, energy drinks can contain up to 31mg of caffeine. Niacin is one of the main ingredients in Energy Drinks. Although it has its benefits, niacin can cause dizziness, and rapid heart rate. This cannot be good for anybody.
