[ABC 1-2] CAFFEINE RUSH: BIG BUZZ

DIANE SAWYER (ABC NEWS)(OC): We know that [1]people will go very far in the search for more energy and a lot of that time it means [2]pouring in the caffeine.  But can too much caffeine too fast be deadly?  Tonight, the FDA is looking into reports of more than a dozen people whose deaths might be linked to the 5-Hour Energy drink.  And ABC's senior national correspondent Jim Avila has more on these [3]potential caffeine bombs.

JIM AVILA (ABC NEWS)(VO): These YouTube videos are [4]a manual on what not to do with an energy drink.

MALE (YOUTUBE VIDEO): His eighth 5-Hour Energy drink.

JIM AVILA (ABC NEWS)(VO): This is clearly 5-Hour Energy drink abuse.

MALE (YOUTUBE VIDEO): Chug, chug.

JIM AVILA (ABC NEWS)(VO): Videos that anger the founder of the billion-dollar company, that sells 1.5 million 2-ounce bottles of the stuff every day.

MANOJ BHARGAVA (CEO OF FIVE HOUR ENERGY): Don't get crazy.  Don't take too much.  That would really be a dumb thing to do.  If you do dumb stuff, you are going to end up in the hospital.

JIM AVILA (ABC NEWS)(VO): And Manoj Bhargava says that's the only way [5]his little bottle of jolt is dangerous - abuse.  As for today's alarming news of 13 deaths and [6]33 hospitalizations the last four years, reported to the FDA, all claiming to be linked to this product, Bhargava says just not true.

JIM AVILA (ABC NEWS)(OC): Is there any risk to a healthy person from drinking your…

MANOJ BHARGAVA (CEO OF FIVE HOUR ENERGY): Not at all.  None.

JIM AVILA (ABC NEWS)(VO): How much caffeine is really in 5-Hour Energy?  A 2-ounce bottle contains 207 milligrams of caffeine, [7]equivalent to two 8-ounce cups of coffee, 2.5 Red Bulls or nearly 6 Coca-Colas.  And many doctors say research shows that doesn't tell the whole story.

DOCTOR MARCIE SCHNEIDER (GREENWICH ADOLESCENT MEDICINE LLC): [8]Energy drinks takes this to an entirely different level because there are other components, other ingredients, in these drinks that [9]take the caffeine and make it even more potent.

JIM AVILA (ABC NEWS)(VO): One of the ingredients in 5-Hour Energy is taurine, what scientists call [10]a caffeine-potentiating amino acid, or coffee turbo-charged, kicking up the caffeine dramatically.

DOCTOR MARCIE SCHNEIDER (GREENWICH ADOLESCENT MEDICINE LLC): If you knew you were capable of drinking, you know, four cups of coffee over the morning, you probably would feel very different if you consumed four energy drinks.

JIM AVILA (ABC NEWS)(VO): How much caffeine does it take to kill a healthy person?  About 5,000 milligrams.  That's 50 cups of coffee, or 25 shots of 5-Hour, more than most could physically drink, and many more than the two bottles a day 5-Hour Energy recommends.  Jim Avila, ABC News, New York.
