It’s true. Don’t chug 12 energy drinks in 10 minutes. Sort of like you shouldn't drink 12 cups of coffee in 10 minutes. It varies a bit depending on the coffee and energy drink, but they typically have similar amounts of caffeine.
One energy drink has 250-300 ml caffeine, which is equivalent of 4-5 cups of coffee. So, technically this person consumed 48-60(!) cups of coffee in 10 minutes.
Very, very few energy drinks have 300mg of caffeine. A 16oz can of Monster has 160mg. In comparison, a tall (12oz) Starbucks coffee has 235mg of caffeine.
People that complain about energy drinks tend to greatly underestimate the caffeine content of coffee.

It looks like we found the writer of Saved By The Bell’s infamous “drug addiction” episode…

I agree it's concerning, but how are you going to stop him? It's not an illegal substance. Maybe talk to a doctor about it? I'm sure you could google the effects of it.

Yes, OP. Too much consumption of energy drinks is bad for your heart. That would concern me for sure. It could kill even young people.

Your 19 year old son is an adult.
It doesn't mean I can't talk to him about this stuff. Would do the same if it was my DH. (OP)
