Stay away from energy drinks, doctors say

[TCA]

had a monster java yesterday and one this morning. But I think I'm done with them because they've been messing my sleep up and make me feel nauseated too. I haven't really had coffee very much either so I may stop buying it too and just have pop every so often, been putting this junk into my system....for last 2 weeks...Haven't really at much solid foods just been drinking a lot of liquids.

I think alot of people forget how good simply drinking water is. Drinking enough to ensure you aren't dehydrated will boast your strength greatly.

But then again I guess alot of people drink these things because they want the taste, not because they are thirsty.

Modern day youths don't drink energy drinks, they smoke pot and sniff cocaine.

Yeah I don't really care about the "energy boost" I just love the taste of monster and basically any sort of mixer that includes it :p

Yeah, like you ever had something more than a joint, kiddo

On-topic: Energy drinks such as Red Bull have the same effect on me as regular cola so I don't really drink them, but I love natural low-sugar high-caffeine (~20 mg per 100 ml) drinks such as Club Mate:

Also, I think "energy drinks" should be available only for people above 18 y.o., because it's not so hard to get a heart attack after 6-7 Red Bulls especially if you mix them with vodka (I've almost reached that point).

he was referig to a well known brand of energy drink. not the Class A street drug.

Coffee, sausage rolls and a can of Relentless (energy drink) has been and will always be my favorite choice of a hangover cure, so I'll keep having them after a hard nights drinking.

Its sad that now days people need to be told everything.

Well I need to stay awake as I need to prepare for my pathology final, so I don't give a **** how dangerous they are. My books or my slides did not mention anything about them so they are as harmful as the easter bunny atm XD

this is not new and kids/teens will unfortunately continue to drink them anyway :/

Kidney stones and diabetes could be a major risk
