High-caffeine energy drink consumption has been increasing in young adults, frequently causing the most common symptoms such as tremor, insomnia, anxiety, and nervousness and rarely leading to serious adverse effects like seizure, acute mania, and stroke due to caffeine overdose. There have been little current studies regarding analysis of high-caffeine energy drink consumption and its adverse effects in Korea. This study was to examine high-caffeine consumption patterns, associated factors, and adverse effects based on responses from 231 college students in a University through survey. About 88.3% (n=204) of total respondents reported that they had energy drinks. College students mostly consumed energy drinks to keep awake (46%) when studying and to recover fatigue (27%). Approximately 44% respondents mainly reported palpitation (73.9%) and insomnia (72.8%) regarding adverse effect questionnaire. Current reports on the risk of recreational use, co-ingestion of alcohol and energy drink as well as energy drink consumption among children and adolescents are increasing, requiring further long-term research and awareness of these issues.

This study was conducted to investigate the correlation between frequency of high-caffeine energy drink intake in adolescents and their mental health status using data from the Korean adolescent health behaviors online survey (2014-15). Mental health was classified by the five categories: Perception of stress (PS), Insufficient relief of fatigue after sleep (IRFS), Experience of sadness despair (SD), Suicidal ideation (SI), and Subjective unhappiness (SU). Regarding general characteristics, higher age, height, and body weight of subjects were associated with higher frequency of high-caffeine energy drink (HCED) intake (p< .0001). In the OR analysis, when the lowest group (${\leq}2/wk$) and highest group ($1{\geq}day$) were compared, the highest group showed significantly higher OR in all five categories of mental health. According to gender, males did not show better PS, SD, and SI than females who had a high frequency of HCED (p for trend<.0001). According to school level, middle school students showed a higher risk rate than high school students in PS, IRFS, and SD (p for trend< .0001). Based on the above results, higher frequency of HCED intake among adolescents was associated with more adverse effects on mental health.

본 연구는 대학생의 고카페인 에너지음료 실태 조사를 통해서 무분별한 고카페인 에너지음료 섭취에 대한 문제점을 해결하고자 서울 지역의 대학생 300명을 대상으로 고카페인 에너지음료 섭취 실태에 대해 조사하였으며, 조사 결과는 다음과 같다. 조사 대상자의 성별은 남성은 35%, 여성은 65%인 것으로 나타났고, 학년으로 대학생 4학년이 38.3% 가장 많았으며, 한 달 평균 용돈은 50만원 이상 55.0%로 가장 많았고, 한 달 음료 구입비 73.0% 가장 많았다. 고카페인 에너지음료 섭취 경험은 전체 학생의 68.7%가 에너지음료를 마셔본 경험이 있었으며, 여성(63.6%)에 비해 남성(78.1%)이 에너지음료를 섭취한 경험이 높은 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 고카페인 에너지음료는 주로 공부할 때 마시는 학생이 가장 많았으며, 성별에 상관없이 공부할 때에 가장 많이 마시는 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 고카페인 에너지음료의 섭취 횟수는 1~6회/년 미만이 가장 많았고, 여성은 남성에 비해 거의 마시지 않는다는 응답이 많았다(p<0.05). 고카페인 에너지음료 구입 장소로 편의점이 가장 많았으며, 고카페인 에너지음료에 대한 정보 경로는 TV나 라디오, 신문, 잡지 등의 광고를 통해 알게 된 학생이 가장 많았다. 고카페인 에너지음료 구매 시 영향 요인으로 '맛'이 가장 크게 영향을 미친다는 반응을 보였다. 고카페인 에너지음료 섭취 시 부작용과 문제점에서 에너지음료 섭취 후 심장 두근거림을 부작용으로 느낀 경우가 가장 많았고, 고카페인 에너지음료 섭취 시 문제점으로 중독 증상이라고 가장 많이 응답하였다. 이상의 본 연구 결과를 토대로 고카페인 에너지음료의 섭취에 다음과 같이 제안하고자 한다. 최근 들어 에너지음료 섭취가 늘어나고 있는 대학생들이 에너지음료가 고카페인 음료라는 것을 인지하고 있으면서도 공부를 위해서 이들 고카페인 에너지음료를 무분별하게 과량 섭취하는 것이 문제이므로 카페인 과량 섭취 시 부작용을 인식시키고, 올바른 에너지음료에 대한 구매와 구입법, 음용법 등을 알려서 계층별 카페인의 1일 섭취 허용량만큼만 섭취할 수 있도록 해야 한다. 또한 에너지음료의 카페인 함유량을 제한하고 효율적인 규제방안이 반드시 필요할 것으로 사료된다. 현재 정부에서는 카페인 과량 섭취의 위험성을 인식하고 '식품 표시법'을 개정하여 '카페인 함유'라는 문구와 함께 고카페인 음료에 대해서는 카페인 함유량 표시를 의무화하고 있으며, 올해 1월 말부터 '어린이 식생활 안전관리 특별법'을 개정하여 학교내 매점이나 어린이 기호 식품 우수 판매 업소에서 에너지음료를 판매하지 못하게 하고, 특정시간대의 방송광고도 제한하도록 하고 있지만, 소비자 단체와 전문가들을 중심으로 그 실효성에 대해서는 의문을 제기하고 있는 경우가 많으므로, 카페인 함유량 표시 의무화 외에도 정부 차원의 엄격한 규제 및 관리 방안을 통해서 고카페인 에너지음료의 카페인 함유량을 제한할 수 있도록 하는 효율적인 규제방안이 반드시 필요하다. 특히 고카페인 에너지음료의 소비층이 청소년에서 어린이와 대학생, 직장인으로 확대되고 있는 현실에서 일부 취약계층에 대한 에너지음료 판매 제한뿐만이 아니라, 대학생이나 성인들을 대상으로 한 술집 등에서의 판매 증가와 주류와 섞어 마시는 등의 잘못된 음용 방법 개선을 위해 판매 장소와 판매 품목 제한과 같은 정부 차원의 보다 효과적인 규제 및 관리 방안을 마련해야 할 것이다. 특히 한국소비자원의 조사 결과에서와 같이 에너지음료를 섭취한 적이 있는 대학생 중에 상당수가 알코올과 섞어서 마실 정도로 이러한 잘못된 음주 습관이 대학가의 음주 문화로 자립잡고 있으므로, 잘못된 음주 습관으로 인한 위험성을 적극적으로 알릴 필요가 있다. 또한 에너지음료와 같은 기호식품의 소비에 있어서는 소비자의 알 권리를 인식하고, 합리적으로 제품을 선택할 수 있도록 대학생들을 대상으로 한 식생활 교육이 자연스럽게 이루어져야 할 필요성도 있겠다.
