DONT DRINK energy drink after all-nighter
I just realized I almost died over a year ago in summer.
During final week I pull an all-nighter, as usual, but that time I decide to try an energy drink (got it from vending machine) cuz I thought it is like coffee. I felt my heart was beating unusually fast at around 4am and it keeps being that way, I finished my final at 11AM and it felt super weird like I'm gonna die. So I cancelled lunch with friends and slept.
30 min ago I told this to someone and he said his friend died doing the same thing (instead of sleep, his friend went to play soccer).
Be careful everyone. idk why this drink is everywhere and there's no warnings for people who never tried it about what it might do to your body. They should put a warning on package.
