Energy drinks are commonly promoted as products that raise energy levels and enhance mental alertness and physical performance. Next to multivitamins, energy drinks have become one of the most popular dietary supplements consumed by Americans. Vast amounts of caffeine may cause serious heart problems including heart rhythm disturbances and increased heart rate and blood pressure.
A single 16-oz. can of an energy drink could contain 54 to 62 grams of added sugar. The maximum amount of added sugars recommended is way smaller than that. Scientific evidence shows that energy drinks can cause serious health effects, especially in children and young adults. Energy drinks have been found to improve physical endurance, but there’s little evidence of muscle strength or power.
I don’t drink energy drinks myself mainly because I’m trying not to rely on caffeine to function. If other people do it I don’t care but they are proven to cause a lot of unwanted problems.

I tend to catch myself drinking energy drinks a lot. I think that I know they can be harmful to your body but I am less affected by them compared to others. I think that they can be fine in moderate numgers. I think over drinking them could lead to health issues.
I do often drink energy drinks. I really like the way they taste. I often buy sugar-free ones because of the amount of sugar that is in the normal ones. I"m not going to die from drinking an energy drink every so often. I don't think that people should be having multiple a day or one every day.
