    Per the FDA, caffeine in amounts under 400mg/day is not generally associated with harmful effects for healthy adults. The largest option for this drink (30oz) has 390mg. It’s not remotely high enough to kill unless you have a heart problem or other severe abnormal caffeine sensitivity. It is clearly labeled as having as much caffeine as coffee. Similarly to how products with peanuts are labelled as “contains nuts,” not “contains enough peanuts to kill you.”
