Energy drink is defined as dietary supplement containing multivitamin, macronutrient, taurine, caffeine <br /> <br /> added with herbs such as ginseng and ginger in the form of liquid formulation or powder and tablet <br /> <br /> dissolved into beverage, with 100 kkal energy contained in each package. The drink is used to add <br /> <br /> stamina, fitness, stimulate metabolism, maintain health and is consumed during working or after <br /> <br /> exercise. Consumption of energy drinks started to increase when one of the most famous energy drink <br /> <br /> brand was introduced in market in 1997. Research in US found that 51% of 496 college students showed <br /> <br /> that they drank energy drink more than once a month. Judging from the popularity of energy drinks <br /> <br /> among college students, it is necessary to study the dependence potential of energy drink in college <br /> <br /> students. This study was aimed to investigate the dependence potential of energy drinks among a <br /> <br /> sample of college student. This is a descriptive study with collecting data from college students based on <br /> <br /> questionnaire filled by each respondent in the period of March 2017 to July 2017. The data was then <br /> <br /> analyzed to get the information about dependence level based on criteria of DSM V (Diagnostic and <br /> <br /> Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder). Total respondents in this study were 184 respondents. Results <br /> <br /> showed that 58% respondents were women and 42% were men. Out of 6 energy drink brands studied, <br /> <br /> brand E was the most consumed energy drink with the composition of taurine, caffeine, inositol, vitamin <br /> <br /> B and sugar. Twenty seven percent respondents consumed energy drink more than once a month. Based <br /> <br /> on dependence severity criteria of DSM V, 53% respondents did not experience dependence, 30% <br /> <br /> respondents experience mild dependency, 10% respondents experienced moderate dependency and 7% <br /> <br /> respondents exeperienced severe dependence. Thus, based on dependence severity criteria in DSM V, <br /> <br /> 53% respondents did not belong in any category, meanwhile 47% met the dependence criteria. The <br /> <br /> results indicated that although more than half of the respondents were categorized non-dependent, <br /> <br /> dependence on energy drink consumption in college students remains to be considered.
