Happened to the child of a co-worker of mine. Dropped dead playing hoops with his dad.

Very sad for all involved.

There was a Swiss study that determined that minimal consumption could (in some people) increase risk of stroke by 300%.

But - SURPRISE! SURPRISE! - the study was not allowed to be released in the US.

Basically, they found that those drinks could re-wire neuropathic (neurological? - I'm no doctor) networks in some individuals, basically altering their brains.

I would try to find it, but I pretty much suck at google stuff.
