People these days... I swear, the more I read articles in the news and see reports on TV, the more faith I am losing in humanity, just for the simple fact people are just plain stupid.

This article is about a mother who is suing Monster Energy Drink Co. because he daughter died when she went into cardiac arrest after drinking two 24-oz Monster Energy Drinks in less than 24 hours. Well, this might be something to look at, after all, I am sure there was nothing else out of the ordinary that she ate or drank throughout the day that would put her into such a state, right?
Well, wait a minute. This girl had a minor underlying heart condition. The article does not specify what type of condition it was, but I am assuming drinking two energy drinks within less than 24 hours did not help her any.
Listen here, mom. If you were at all concerned about your daughters health, maybe you wouldn't let her drink those things, especially if you were aware of your daughters underlying heart condition. I cannot fathom how she will win this "Wrongful Death" lawsuit because... her daughter made that choice to drink those drinks. It is not illegal for teens to drink them. Not only that, but are they even 100% sure that the Monsters caused her to go into cardiac arrest? Maybe, maybe not... The article doesn't say. Regardless. Those drinks are not meant to be consumed one right after the other. They have a lot of caffeine in them and could potentially be somewhat dangerous, but Monster does not recall any other death of this kind happening after someone has consumed their products.
It just amazes me that the mother wants to sue the company over something like this. It is a tragedy, yes, but the lawsuit in and of itself is silly for the mere fact I doubt she will win. Maybe she should have been a more responsible mother and monitored what her daughter was drinking before this happened. Hmm... those are just my thoughts on this matter.
