No more energy drinks will be allowed at firefighter training sites in Oklahoma. The Oklahoma State Firefighters Association is banning energy beverages over safety concerns after noting that some firefighters have been drinking up to four of them before lunch. Association officials say energy drinks have been blamed for two recent deaths in Kansas. Officials say the drinks make blood "sludgy", instead of hydrating bodies.
