Energy Drinks - Just how bad for your health?
I've heard that there is a warning that you aren't suppose to take more than one energy drink at one sitting because it's too hard on your body.
I'm talking about the Sobe Adrendaline (sp?), Rip It Energy the stuff with Tautarine or what not of 1000 MGs. I did 3 days with 3 hours of sleep. Then on the ride home after a 16 hour shift at the casino, I took a Sobe and my heart started to hurt a lot. Last night 3 energy drinks and 2 24-oz Mountain Dews. I'm cutting out the energy drinks and moving down to Mountain Dew. Can I actually really screw up my body? My mom says I am doing what high blood pressure does to my body and could have a stroke. |

Your mom is right about the stroke possibilites, not to mention heart attacks at a young age. [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] |

Re: Energy Drinks - Just how bad for your health?
Alot of the anti-energy drink stuff seems kind of shady to me. You have to be carefull because they are very prone to leave out key facts like the kid hadn't slept in three days, was playing football in 103 degree weather, wasn't tested for any other drugs like meth, and so on. I'm not saying energy drinks are good, or bad, it just seems that almost every study I've seen on energy pills and drinks have major holes in them. It's too bad these are the studies the media tends to cling to.

if you are drinking them or caffeine for energy, there is someting wrong with you. I drink roughly two cups of coffee in the morning, and thats about all the caffeine I drink every day.

I agree, you shouldn't depend on energy drinks. Alot of people abuse them. I know guys that took mini-thins to get high every day for about 6 months. If those guys had a stroke, I highly doubt they would tell their parents or the police what they were really doing. I think alot of the studies are bogus and are relaying the wrong message. Not very many drugs you can get ahold of are bad, its how, and in what amounts you use the drug that counts. Alot of studies and media outlets are not preaching this. Instead they are pushing to ban everything, when education is what we really need.

Drinking that much caffiene is horrible, it doesn't matter where it comes from.
Also, humping Mountain Dew cans can be dangerous, you could cut yourself. |

Re: Energy Drinks - Just how bad for your health?
its just a part of our society for people to constantly need energy. Seattle is a pretty intense city, with a lot of people running all over the place working a lot of hours, especially with all the tech companies over here. Thats partly why there is literally two Starbucks on every block(there really is). People work so many hours that they need the energy. I am not surprised college kids drink it either, what with all the constant studying and partying they do.

Word - tastes like cough syrup (or Flinstones vitamins) at first, but stick with it. |
