Energy Drinks

[shekii]

Teenagers my age and others are very familiar with energy drinks, especially around these meal times; Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner etc.

I've seen many teenagers mostly in year 11 drinking them so you can revise or as it says on the can "Better Concentration" within exams etc, but in fact you cause many many problems.

Many of times I've drunk at least 5-6 energy drinks a night to keep awake all night long.

You may think there's only one side effect to energy drinks which is giving you a sugar rush but in fact you cause many problems if you drink them daily; could suffer from dehydration is a very real probability, damage to small blood vessels, damage to vision, insomnia, anxiety, heart palpitations, seizures, fainting, and in extreme cases heart attack and death There have already been over a hundred kids and adults who have died from energy drinks.

My sisters friend drank a numerous amount of energy drinks each day during her exams and apparently her heart beat, beat once then missed one. The caffeine content of energy drinks can be the equivalent as 14 Coca-cola cans. These can drinks can be extremely addictive.

So why put yourself at risks such as these. Revert back to the natural way to get energy, SLEEPING.

I think that occasionally they're fine, but I hardly ever drink them.

We get Monster cans for like, 65p at work so when you're on a 10-16 hour shift people just drink them like whaaat.

i go through 3 or 4 energy drinks a day (the cheap 35p ones) and i'm fine
go take your scare tactics somewhere else
and if you're going to try and use semi colons and good grammar, at least read it through at the end
energy drinks are fine unless you have something wrong with you in the first place
for me, (a person with low blood sugar levels) energy drinks are perfect, and they taste nice too

I only occasionally drink them, and I think that as long as you don't go overboard with drinking them (i.e more than ~2 everyday) then you should be fine? :S

Don't really like them myself and I don't understand why people risk their health to stay up all night for no good reason fuelled by these drinks.

Don't see a problem if they're only occasional though, rather than part of a dietary choice.
