This is a great example of responsible stimulant usage. A similar drug that is consumed every day by millions of people is alcohol. It has a much higher death rate than caffeine and seems to be over-used quite often. However, the vast, vast majority of users are responsible. I think we can agree that moderate usage is acceptable and useful. I think the major point of the article is that we have to be aware of how much caffeine is in drinks so that people can use it responsibly. The danger in energy drinks is that they are fairly opaque and people don't know how it compares to something like coffee. Most people will dislike the effects of overstimulation, but we want to make sure that everyone has the tools to protect themselves and their children.
