Those drinking energy drinks reported more adverse outcomes than those drinking coffee, yes. Guess what they also reported? It has to do with things that are commonly consumed with energy drinks...

I mean, it's possible that the energy drinks are bad in and of themselves, but come on. If they didn't control for alcohol consumption - and they didn't, I checked - then the results are pretty meaningless
