A member asked:

I drank one energy drink (80mg of caffeine) while i never had caffeine before? i'm 16 by the way! is this dangerous?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No more than your: first cup of coffee. And I would find it hard to believe you never had a Coke or Pepsi! Congrats on waiting until 16! There are rare individuals who are highly sensitive to caffeine, and can't sleep, get anxiety attacks, get tremulous after a single cup of coffee. Most people can drink 2-3 servings of caffeinated beverages without problems. High dose energy drinks may be dangerous.
