Not only is it true, Pre-workout supplements are far worse.
I've treated numerous patients under 40 with MI and cerebral hemorrhages related to energy drinks and Pre-workout supplements. Most if not all had zero family his history were not predisposed.

Huh? It’s just a stimulant, like coffee. Most people don’t want to drink coffee in afternoon etc. so this is a replacement for that. I don’t comprehend not comprehending that

Please tell me you are an er tech and not a medical professional that requires clinical judgement or any critical thinking skills or just an internet troll.
No person with advanced medical training would think that.

So you think it's not plausible for a non regulated stimulant supplement can cause some form of cardiac complication?
Am I understanding this correctly?

My field is an evidence based field. We change our practices every few years based on best evidence. The evidence required to make any assertion has to be overwhelming in nature.
What medical journal links hemorrhagic strokes to energy drinks? I'll answer in advance, there are none.

Energy drinks are highly popular and a massive market growing at around a 9% CAGR over he last three years. The typical energy drink has between 140-160mg of caffeine per 16 oz serving. Coffee has about 160mg of caffeine per 8 is serving so 320ng per 16 oz.The most common other ingredients in energy drinks outside of caffeine and Guarana and Taurine but a lot of newer brands are exploring the use of other supplements. There are a lot of interesting New beverages out there taking a cleaner spin on energy drinks, often brewing other leaves like Yerbe Mate or Guyusa.
Personally, I enjoy the taste of energy drinks and drink them in the afternoon a few times a week. I would prefer to drink them less but I think more sleep would be the solve.

This monster zero im still sipping on has 140mg. So drinking 16 oz of this is less caffeine than drinking 16 oz of actual coffee if im reading that correctly.

I myself prefer coffee but will opt here and there for a RB. Btw, a grande coffee from Starbucks has 355mg of caffeine.....that's a lot!
Same. I don't drink or eat added sugar at all. As in literally at all. So I couldn't imagine a regular red bull these days.
I do still have one can of the very last of regular full-sugar, full-caffeine, full alcohol Four Loko in my mini-fridge from 7 years ago! I would die.

Undoubtedly, way less caffeine on an equalivized volume. The argument some posters are making is that the other ingredients like Taurine have side effects that ‘make energy drinks worse’ than drinking coffee.
Here is a great site for understanding the other ingredients used in beverages and food products: LINK

I was going to come in here and say I have maybe 3 energy drinks a week, mostly on weekends, but take a fairly potent pre workout 4-6 days a week. Sometimes if on a Saturday or Friday I will take a pre workout in the morning and an energy drink in the afternoon if going to have beers. I guess I will die soon.

So you need a professional journal to tell you stimulants cause arrhythmias, hypertension along with excessive diuresis which are all contributing factors to NSTEMI /STEMIs and aneurysms?
On the contrary, there are professional studies on the subject, unless your journal in question is Popular Mechanics of course.

Caffeine isn't the only thing in red bull.

Me too. And two cups. That’s it. Anymore and I get edgy. I don’t know caffeine levels of a monster vs. a coffee, but it always amazes me at any bar or pub. They have the little cooler of Red Bull’s. They seem to be only for the staff and the occasional BullBlaster or whatever the hell else type of shot they have it in.
