Part one is about how science works even when the public thinks it doesn't. Part two will certainly ruffle some feathers by offering a reason- and science-based perspective on issues where political correctness has gone awry. Part three provides some data-driven advice for your health and well-being. Part four looks at human behavior and how we can better navigate our social worlds. In part five we put on our skeptical goggles and critically examine a few commonly-held beliefs. In the final section, we look at a few ways how we all can make the world a better place.

The mother's claim is not fallacious at all, she's merely warning her son of a possible danger. A danger that can be medically substantiated: See Energy-Drink Habit Sends Man to ER with Heart Problems shar.es/aa5fU6 via @LiveScience
The son however responds with several notable fallacies: Weak analogy. Non sequitur, a whole school of red herrings and an irrelevant goal or function. (A fallacy of distraction that irrelevantly critiques an idea for failing to do something it never intended to do) There's zero connection between the mother's warning about energy drinks to the son's aspiration for marriage. |
