At an emergency room in Berkeley, Calif., Dr. Guy Shochat last year treated an 18 year-old who had arrived in an ambulance with sudden heart arrhythmia. The teenager had been drinking eight 16-ounce cans of Rockstar every evening to stay awake for his night job. “He was totally clueless that there might be something wrong with drinking so much of this stuff,” said Dr. Shochat, an assistant clinical professor of emergency medicine at the University of California, San Francisco.
The American College of Sports Medicine has warned high school athletes away from energy drinks because the caffeine in them may cause dehydration. High schools in Fairfax County, Va., this year removed energy drinks from its vending machines after student athletes complained of headaches and nausea after drinking them at practice.

Have you heard of Rhino Two Horns?Unlike other energy drinks, Rhino Two Horns is not a stimulant. Rhino Two Horns does not contain caffeine, preservatives, artificial sweeteners or any other artificial products. Rhino Two horns is all natural and its energy is derived from inter-cellular infusion of a blend of natural salts, potassium, fructose and all natural flavors and colors. We therefore stand by our claim to be both all natural and an energy drink.
You will find that many energy drink formulas have products which may be considered harmful or may need to have warning labels placed on them. Red Bull specifically states:
“Red Bull® Energy Drink is labeled with a recommended maximum daily intake of two 250ml cans daily”
Rhino Two Horns makes none of these claims as you may drink as much of the product at any time.
Red Bull also states: “Red Bull is an energy drink. It has not been formulated to deliver re-hydration”.
Rhino Two Horns stands by its claim that is an energy drink that rehydrates as well.
