Energy Drinks - Monster - Red Bull Etc.....

There's tons of caffeine, sugar and guarana [sp?] in them. When I was 15 [which was 2 years ago xD] my friends drank them all the time, too. I tried some, but I thought they tasted disgusting. They do give you energy, but only for a short time, and you feel really tired or get a headache after.

they have alot of caffein in them, sugar and some have hoddia.which isn't good for you(hoddia).It causes you to shake alot and diareia.But I think for the most part there alright in moderation.If he had one every once in a while it would be alright.Just think of it like this it's like our cup or two of coffee in the morning. good luck

To be honest I would now be very wary of any of the so called energy drinks on the market now. when they first came onto the market I found myself hooked on Red Bull and would drink anything up to a dozen cans in a day. Strangely enough, I couldn't figure out why I wasn't sleeping at night and did't understand why I was so hyper all the time I realised after a while they they were full of chemicals and addatives, some of which I was allergic to, but they made me feel good so I continued to drink them. Eventually a friend of mine got me to stop drinking them, I was sick and ill from drinking too many energy drinks. I would strongly urge you to think carefully about these drinks, the chemical contents and the addatives and colours.

Due to the high level of caffeine, sugar and energy blend, you aren't supposed to have more than 2 a day (some will allow 3, but its a risk). Consuming too much caffeine over a period of time can cause twitching, headaches, insomnia. People with heart problems and dangerous levels of blood pressure shouldn't have too much either as the B complex, caffeine, basically the metabolic and cardiovascular boosts can strain the system. Co-workers complained about this when they had more than one Red Bull. They felt the energy, but once they had a good amount of it, they felt hyper effects on metabolism and heart pumping. To see some of the worst effects of consuming too much Red Bull, see what happened in France when a teen drank 4 Red Bulls and went to play basketball http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/5753.php Ironically, the energy drinks have B vitamins which doesn't seem to make it into many people's diets. B vitamins are good for blood flow(part of the energy solution) and there are some benefits to the nervous system(another part). In actuality, a person could have half of a Red Bull or half of a Monster(as its bigger in size usually) and they'll feel enough effects from it. If up to it, find 7up or ginger ale and mix that with half of the energy drink. The juice versions of energy drinks may mitigate some of the negative effects. The main point is to not drink these things excessively. You should also watch for high-grade energy drinks (these usually say no more than 2 per day). On experience, NOS, No-Name, AMP are all higher grades of energy drink. Consume carefully.
