An English teenager is lucky to be alive after suffering three cardiac arrests following a night of drinking.
Jayde Dinsdale, 18, drank 10 Jagerbombs — a cocktail made from Red Bull energy drink and Jagermeister spirit — as part of a two-for-one drink special at a local club in Yeovil, Somerset, on Jan. 31, according to the Daily Mirror. The next morning, she collapsed on her bathroom floor.
“The doctors told me it was all to do with the energy drinks,” Dinsdale told the newspaper. “Now I’m looking at how much caffeine is in these drinks and I just can’t believe they are on sale.”
A can of Red Bull contains about as much caffeine as a cup of coffee, according to the company’s website. Dinsdale surmised that each cocktail contained about half a can of the energy drink.
