Methods: This cross-sectional study used a questionnaire designed to gather information on energy drinks consumption of medical students and physicians. Four hundred fifty questionnaires were completed. Results: The majority of the questionnaires was completed in Colombia; the rest were completed in North American (n: 8, 1.8%), Central America (n: 17, 3.8%), South America (n: 86, 19.1%), and Europe (n: 2, 0.4%).
