Energy drinks are beverages that typically contain ingredients such as caffeine, taurine, B vitamins, guarana, and other stimulants and are often carbonated. The primary active ingredient in energy drinks is caffeine. Though these drinks have been marketed as ergogenic products which can enhance physical and cognitive performances (temporary boost in energy level), results of several studies show that due to presence of high caffeine content, their excessive consumption can lead to caffeine overdose or toxicity which includes a range of adverse effects such as tachycardia, heart palpitations, high blood pressure, anxiety, dehydration, digestive issues, disrupted sleep patterns which can lead to further health risks and in severe cases, even cardiac arrhythmias or seizures. High levels of sugar and acids in these drinks even lead to dental problems. The combination of caffeine and other stimulant ingredients in energy drinks can pose a risk and can potentially lead to cardiovascular problems, hepatotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, neurotoxicity and behavioral & psychological issues. It is therefore advised that these drinks should be consumed with caution while taking certain medications or alcohol. The stimulant effects of energy drinks can interact negatively with some medications, such as certain antidepressants or stimulant medications. Combining energy drinks with alcohol can mask the depressant effects of alcohol, leading to excessive alcohol consumption and potentially risky behavior. While energy drinks are not extensively studied within forensic science, their potential toxicity, their use as markers of consumption patterns, susceptibility to adulteration, and risk of contamination make them relevant in specific forensic contexts. Forensic analysis of nergy drink ingredients can provide insights into their quality, composition, and compliance with regulatory standards. By employing scientific techniques, food forensic scientists can ensure the authenticity, safety, and compliance of energy drinks in the marketplace.
