effects on the youth and how to de-market it, the study uses a quantitative
method to evaluate the impacts of consuming energy drinks among minors and
the youth, in this paper we distributed surveys on the targeted sample who are
the youth of Jordan and got back some very interesting results, the results of the
surveys were analyzed thoroughly using the latest mathematical analyzing
methods and software to give out a clear big picture of what is happening in
reality with the consumers of energy drinks from the youth. the results that we
arrived to showed some trends that are worrying which require immediate
actions before the issues go out of hand, and for the sake of countering and
solving these issues we made a list of applicable recommendations that we
found best at the end of the paper to act as a starting point to apply measures to
solve the issues at hand in order to save the society from a danger they are
unaware of, and help preserve the health of youth.
