According to the lawsuit, one 12-fluid-ounce can of an Alani Nu Energy Drink contains 200 milligrams of caffeine.

I feel terribly for this family. I can’t see how this lawsuit is going to move forward in their favor. There were warnings that this beverage isn’t intended for children and 200mg of caffeine isn’t a crazy amount.

The attorney added that it was “common” for Rodriguez to drink an Alani Nu product at school or before sports activities. At one point, she was drinking as many as one energy drink per day and even posted about the product herself.

She consumed these regularly, and her parents allowed it to happen. I feel so sorry for them, but come on.

Who said anything about coffee?

I drink like 5 cups of coffee a day, which is about 200mg of caffeine per cup. This post may have saved my life, if I'd done it another 20 years who knows what would happen.
