The inspectors of Food and Veterinary State Service remind that energy drink is a non-alcoholic beverage, which contains more than 150 mg / l of caffeine. 'The consumption of energy drinks can cause serious negative consequences for children and adolescents. Energy drinks affect young people more seriously because teenagers are more sensitive to caffeine than adults. In addition, energy drinks pose a serious threat to health when mixed with alcohol,' emphasized V. Galdikienė, the specialist of the State Food and Veterinary Service.
