Energy drink addiction can cause serious health issues and even death if consumed in large quantities. The main ingredients, caffeine and taurine, act as stimulants and can cause arrhythmias, nervousness, and vomiting. To overcome addiction, consumption must be reduced gradually to avoid withdrawal symptoms until stopping completely. While serious, energy drink addiction can potentially be removed more easily than other drug addictions if the gradual reduction treatment approach is followed.
