Energy drinks bad for your body, but why you like to drink it?

The ones I drink normally (XS Energy) contain Splenda & Ace-K artificial sweetners so these don't contain any phenylalnine (spelling?) at all. However I DO understand about how they can make you jittery. Considering how they are only 250 mL (8.4 fl. oz.) and they don't have too much caffeine I don't find I'm jittery. I usually only drink maybe one a day or perhaps two. I've had people that told me they drank 16 drinks of XS...wow! That's way too many for me! XS Energy comes in various flavors and there are some that contain no caffeine. I believe it's up to the individual if they want to drink these drinks or if they think they are unhealthy. These contain no sugars, either. So...it's probably best to drink in moderation (one or two per day)...and not to go overboard. I find they help me stay aware especially if I'm REALLY tired. By the way I'm a coffee drinker so when I don't drink coffee I find these energy drinks help me "wake up" in the morning. Thank you for your views. Pablo

Uh, it really depends on which ones you drink. I like XS Energy drinks because they have LOTS of variety...they have ones that don't have caffeine so if that's a problem you buy their caffeine free ones, they have ones that aren't carbonated...they are only sold online. Cheers! Pablo
