«From a review of the literature, it would appear that concerns in the scientific community and among the public
regarding the potential adverse health effects of the increased

energy drinks are broadly valid,» write the authors.
«Along with other research released recently from Western Australia showing increased harms on nights when people consumed
energy drinks, it is becoming more apparent about how associations between
energy drink consumption and greater levels of intoxication and harm can be explained, and that the concerns of researchers
regarding social order and public health appear to be warranted, despite industry lobbying to the contrary.»
