    There were a number of publications in which attempted suicide was not the intent of consumption. These studies described high doses of caffeine ingested in short periods of time with nonfatal adverse events manifest (Berger and Alford, 2009; Dikici et al., 2015; Jonjev and Bala, 2013) (Fig. 11B). All three of these publications involved exposure to caffeinated energy drinks, in which estimated exposures were both above and below the Nawrot et al. (2003) comparator of 400 mg and some form of myocardial adverse event was noted.
