Monster Energy Drink Sued for Death of 19-Year Old

Dustin Hood downed 3 1/2, 24-ounce cans of the self-proclaimed buzz drink within a 24-hour period back in 2015. According to the lawsuit, after drinking the last can, he played basketball and collapsed face first on the concrete court. He was rushed to the hospital where he died a short time later.

According to the lawsuit, Dustin died of cardiac arrhythmia ... triggered by a caffeine overload. The suit claims 3 1/2 cans of Monster has the equivalent caffeine content of 14, 12 ounce cans of Coke.

The suit notes others have suffered cardiac arrest following the "acute consumption" of Monster.

I don't think any energy drink gives you energy. I've only ever had two and both times after about 20 minutes I felt like I needed a nap.

Monster didn't tie him down, put a funnel in his mouth, and pour it down his throat. He made a choice to drink it.

Do them energy drinks even taste any good? I've only had two in my life and they are Red Bull and then a drink named Vault. I don't know if that stuff is still made or not, but it was only just okay. That Red Bull stuff however was nasty!

God bless you always!!!

Amazing! Now I wonder why the NRA is pusing for suppressors. Maybe someone is making people shoot guns and **** up their hearing?

it's not about taste, it's about becoming more energetic and focused.

Those suing are nothing more than pieces of shit placing blame on something that can't drink itself but is somehow responsible as if it can. The kid drank it.
