How bad are energy drinks

Energy drinks like monster or red bull…

Are they harmful or not to bad…

Your thoughts?

I think they are harmful. Anyway, I don’t like the taste

I would think, like anything else, it’s about moderation. They’re probably ok if you drink one here and there but if you’re downing them constantly that’s probably not good for you. Too much sugar and caffeine. Like @Om_Sadasiva said, i don’t like the taste though.

I think they cut the teens off. They did in my state.

What do u mean cut the teens off?

U mean they banned them from teens ?

Every day when I was in getting beer,

I’d see the teens in there getting those monster drinks.

I think it was their biggest clientele.

Phil is the one who told me he heard it.

Some people are addicted to those things. I like XS energy drinks. Maybe 1 a day wouldn’t hurt

That depends on your health. Energy drinks are almost never good for you. However, how bad they are for you depends on your state of health. Always use caution especially if you have any heart, stomach, psychiatric, or on any other medications. Talk to a trainer or a sports medicine physician, and neither of them would recommend them.

Energy drinks are not all the same - some of them are just caffeine. Others have large amounts of sugar, and some have caffeine plus a lot of other stuff of unknown usefulness - like vitamins and taurine. In some cases, they are no different than a good strong cup of coffee, and others are caffeine ODs waiting to happen.

In my experience too much caffeine is dangerous for schizophrenics… (can be)

That is my personal experience though, I am sensitive.

Probably having one or two occasionally won’t hurt you.

They are definitely harmful for you.

I quite like the V energy drinks. It is the only energy drink that I don’t mind. All the others taste disgusting. I only gave V once in a blue moon and I think if you have them infrequently like that they would be okay for you. If you were having them everyday there would be a problem. They are packed full of sugar which isn’t good for your health or your teeth.

I had too many Monsters one night at work and had a panic attack/episode. Overall I don’t think they’re very good for you but one now and then probably isn’t a big deal.

Well, I never heard anyone die from drinking them but too much sugar is terrible for your health and causes weight gain.

Extremely bad for you. Carbonation and sugar are both terrible for your teeth (sugar bad for many other reasons too) and energy drinks have both, sugar in great excess.

After a summer of drinking 1 or 2 energy drinks a day and not brushing my teeth because I wasn’t mentally well and needed the energy to finish classes w untreated narcolepsy, I wracked up $5000 worth of dental bills. Dentist said I was lucky I only needed 1 root canal because at first look they thought I’d need 3.

Moderation like anything else. Some people are sensitive some aren’t. Just do what works for you

I have maybe one or two a week. The vanilla coffee ones taste good

I used to drink like 3 a day and it lead to anxiety problems. Of course I was do much better at work, but later on I was stressing about everything. I think for us caffeine is a bad drug and it badly mixes with our meds
