Study: Energy drink consumption linked to PTSD in soldiers


A new study found that the consumption of energy drinks could be contributing to post-traumatic stress disorder and other mental health problems among U.S. soldiers.
What are the details?

The analysis published by Military Medicine was conducted after surveying 627 male Army personnel seven months after returning from a year-long combat deployment to Afghanistan.

Soldiers were asked how frequently they had consumed energy drinks such as Red Bull, Rockstar, or Monster over the past month, and were quizzed on mental health variables such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and alcohol abuse.

The authors found that more than 75 percent of respondents consumed energy drinks, and 16 percent reported "high use" defined as two or more cans per day.
