Abstrakt		This paper adresses the problem of energy drink consumption by children and adolescents, who are increasingly turning to such products. onsuming energy drinks does not have beneficial effects on health as promoted by manufacturers, but can cause serious health problems. An uncontrolled and excessive consumption of energy drinks can lead to poisoning with caffeine, sleep and eating disorders, obesity, high blood pressure and to many other diseases. The decarations of caffeine content as well as the recommendations on the maximum daily consummation amounts and alcohol mixing ratios are generally inadequate. Energy drinks contain a high concentration of caffeine (up to 500 mg/680 g) and other stimulants (taurine, guarana), whose long-term effects in the body are not yet known. Therefore, energy drinks are inno way suitable for children and adolescents.
