Liver disease is increasingly affecting young adults in India, particularly those in their 20s, as they turn to energy drinks for sustained energy and focus. Experts highlight that these drinks often contain high levels of caffeine and sugar, which can lead to fatty liver disease when consumed frequently. Dr. Abhideep Chaudhary, President of the Liver Transplantation Society of India, identifies energy drinks, alcohol, and sugary beverages as major contributors to liver dysfunction. The combination of these factors, along with sedentary lifestyles, exacerbates the risk of liver damage. Symptoms such as persistent fatigue, bloating, and abnormal liver enzymes can indicate liver distress. While grade-1 fatty liver can be reversible with lifestyle changes, ongoing consumption of energy drinks poses a significant threat to liver health. Experts recommend reducing energy drink intake and adopting healthier habits, such as regular meals, hydration, and physical activity, to support liver function.
