Me and a few of my friends on saturday are going to have a monster energy drink drinking contest. We are going to buy like 20 of them. On the back of the can it says to no drink more then 3 a day. We wil be drinking as many as we can in 5 minutes for the contest. We each are also putting 20 dollars each into this. Is it dangerous to drink to much energy drinks. It wont kill me right?

I am not a doctor to explicitly tell you about the ill effects of over drinking that energy drink. However, as I know this drink does contain Taurine, which is used to treating cardiovascular diseases, hypercholesterolemia, siezure disorders, masular degeneration, and hepatic disorders. So imagine that the overdose of this compound can adversely affect in the same fashion. Moreover, it also influences nerve flow, motor nerve conduction velocity etc. It also reduces blood pressure. This is only one of the elements in the drink whose overdose can be fatal (I believe) let alone the overdose of rest of the ingredients in the drink.
Bottom line: Excess of everything is bad. So do not hold and participate such competitions.

The label says limit it to 3 a day for a reason. If it didn't matter how many you drank, they wouldn't put that on the label, now would they?
It could do some severe damage...energy drinks should be used with precaution anyway. Why risk it?

This is dangerous... I would not suggest doing this. Didn't you hear about the lady that took part in a water drinking contest... drank too much and died. If water can do that... imagine what an energy drink can do.

Hello, well I don't think it will kill you but I'm sure your going to feel pretty ill afterwards, mainly the stomach and who knows you may even puke so hey if that's how you want to feel right on and I hope you win! On the other hand you could maybe talk to your friends and see if there is some other kind of drink that would be more approperiate and that won't make you feel like you wanna puke.
Okay, well have fun.

You could be headed to the emergency room.
How dumb can you be? If you want to bet on something choose a ball game.

Yes it will kill you, but make sure that you are fully covered by your life insurance, and you can put me down as your beneficiary!!!

you may have a heart attack or suffer from a stroke, potentialy leading to brain damage.
its the same as over dosing on speed.
dont do it, that would be really stupid to participate in that activity.
