“…This high rate may be found because college students have hard schedules and can be under a great amount of stress. One way students think for fighting this problem is by consuming energy drinks to get that much needed boost of energy [17]. Our result is higher than Bulut, et al, 2014, who conducted a study at the Karadeniz Technical University in Turkey and found that 46.5 % of students had ever tried energy drinks [18].…”

Background: Consumption of energy drink represents an escalating global public health problem especially among adolescents and young adults. Energy drink contains stimulants mainly caffeine that marketed as mental and physical stimulator although there are many safety concerns against use. Objectives: To determine the prevalence, pattern and predictors of energy drink consumption among medical students and interns in medical colleges, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at three medical colleges (the governmental medical college of King Abdulaziz University and other two private colleges). A multistage stratified random sample technique was used with selection of 610 medical students & interns. Data was collected using a validated, confidential & self-administered questionnaire. SPSS version 21 was used for statistical analysis. Results: More than one-half of the participants (52.6%) had "ever" tried energy drinks, while 33.4% consumed it regularly during the two months preceded the study. Friends, advertisement and curiosity were the inspirations for starting. Among regular users, the commonest reasons for consumption were enjoying leisure time with friends (57.5%), boosting energy for studying (56.4%), and staying awake for long hours (50.5%). However, 31.6% of regular energy drinks consumers experienced adverse effects as palpitation, insomnia and frequent micturition. In bivariate analysis, regular consumption of energy-drink was significantly associated with male gender, students from private colleges and smokers. After controlling of confounding factors smoking was the only predictor of energy drinks consumption (aOR= 3.68; 95% CI: 2.36-5.71). Conclusion: Consumption of energy drinks is rather common among medical students and interns despite of high prevalence of adverse effects. Smoking is the most important predictor. Implementation of educational awareness campaigns, especially in medical colleges, about healthy dietary habits, potential benefits, side effects and correction of wrong perceptions about energy drinks is urgently needed. Policies for energy drinks consumption and smoking control programs are also recommended.

“…Frequent EDs consumers were found to have smoked cigarettes, abused drug prescriptions, and were involved in violent activities. They also engaged themselves in unsafe sex, doing extreme sports, and dangerous stunts [6]. The study also showed that the consumption of EDs leads to other bad and dangerous habits of consuming other stronger stimulants and drugs which may destroy the career of people especially pilots.…”

“…The reason behind that is that the Arab countries do not consider drinking EDs as a health problem. In fact, it has not reached the alarming levels of being called a problem [6]. Another issue is that there are a small number of people who have reached the level of addiction, and we do not have reported cases that directly link the harm caused as a result of over consuming EDs.…”

“…According to recent studies and analysis of ED, it was found that these EDs contain high portions of sugar and caffeine, the two products that provide some sort of weak energy, the sugar and the caffeine serves to keep the consumers alert and awake [3,5,6]. They also include other herbal ingredients and certain vitamins to give the impression that they contain everything people need to stay energetic and awake.…”

Energy drinks are becoming a growing issue worldwide, particularly amongst young adults and adolescents. Many researchers and healthcare practitioners have reported serious health problems and even some of them have reported death cases were caused by the consumption of energy drinks. Due to that concern for the health of our youth and for their wellbeing, we noticed a need to research this issue in developing countries particularly in Jordan to unravel any potential health problems. Therefore, this research explores the impact of the de-marketing approach (health education and the pressure of peer, community, and parents) via Facebook to decrease energy drink consumption in young adults and adolescents. This study uses a quantitative method; the sample was limited to adults and adolescents from 15 to 24 years old.The link of the questionnaire had been uploaded along with an introduction page to the Facebook. Only 684 usable questionnaires were obtained. The results shows that the de-marketing variables such as health education and both community and parents' pressure have a significant impact on the respondents' intention to stop consuming energy drinks. On the other hand, there is no significant impact of peers' pressure on the respondents' intention to stop consuming energy drinks. Thus, the study proposes some applicable recommendations as a starting point to apply measures in order to avoid health problems that are related to risky consumption and unawareness of energy drinks side effects.
