Author Topic: Are energy drinks really that bad for you?  (Read 2816 times)

So, i was out with my friends earlier today at the skatepark and stuff and it was fun. When we had to go home, on the way there we passed a walgreens, we had some money in our pockets and decided to buy a drink. My friend bought a monster and my other friend bought Nos, I've never really tried energy drinks so I bought a rockstar, I then bought it and headed home.

I got home, I wasn't done with my drink just yet, so I went to my room to use the computer and finish it up listening to music, my mom saw the can and said "are you drinking an energy drink?" and i said "yeah, why?" she then immediatly grounded me because apparently energy drinks are so bad that its like taking drugs, which my parents don't want me doing. I then thought to myself "its just a drink, what is so bad about it?"

and here i am, so tell me /bl/, what is so bad about an energy drink?


Heart explode and die.
I want a serious answer.
Unless that really is.

I had one today and almost vomited.

i didn't find anything bad about it.

they do have more sugar than most soda, but otherwise they're fairly harmless. i drink them somewhat regularly and my heart is still intact

Well it wasn't super serious in terms of the answer, but I do know of cases where people did have heart attacks from drinking Rockstar.

our body was never made to actually have an energy drink..but i got addicted to them and had an amp every day for about a month...then i ran out of money and stopped....

a loving bottle of fanta is 70 loving grams.

other then this sugar thing i fail to see how it is like drugs.

caffeine is mildly addictive iirc, but not too addictive

Caffeine is in coffee, which i have every morning.
