Energy drinks are like a toxin to the body, made up of ingredients that produce more caffeine than needed, there for making you have a rush of energy that could kill you. The three most dangerous ingredients in the drink are caffeine, taurine and guarana. The drinks are labeled with an warning but it is so small that most people don't see it but see the bright packaging or the advertising for a 'rush of energy that will blow your mind'. the packaging targets younger kids and teens and they think that energy is good for them but it isn't.
When you go into a store during a lunch break to get something to eat you go to the food section and look for some water etc. and so you go to the fridges. As you look through them you see the energy drinks next to the cokes and the lemonade. This is what helps make them popular. People think that energy drinks are good for you because they're next to all the other stuff and they look like they are good for you. But as you think to buy one you don't know that people have died from drinking that poison, or having issues because they became addicted and drank tons of it.
Also, you probably wouldn't know that energy drinks are aimed for people 18 years and older but teens and tweens have been drinking them. But what really should surprise you is that the people who make these energy drinks pass them through health Canada (I live in Canada so, I don't know if they were passed where you live) but the manufactures didn't know how the ingredients reacted to each other. So they were giving them out for free or a penny at motorbike competitions, and don't ask the age of some people. The statistics for Canada is one of every three teenagers in Canada drink energy drinks. And what they don't know is that they are putting their life on the line and think that nothing bad will happen until they die.
In my opinion, energy drinks are over rated anyways. I mean, if you stay up all night partying and have school the next day don't think that they will give you a burst of energy so you don't fail and get held back. That was your own fault. Also, these drinks will contain a ton of caffeine, not just sugar. Caffeine gives you a burst but you also can become addicted to it. Like when you notice that and older person you know is really crabby in the morning because they haven't had their coffee. They are going through withdrawal and are just going to miserable. Also, caffeine is bad for your kidneys, if you have kidney problems. I have a little sister with kidney problems and so I vowed never to drink those gross drinks (some of them are yellow and look like something everyone knows…) because she may need a kidney transplant and I don't want her to feel left out.
Also I think that if you can find younger kids drinking the drinks then this world is coming to an end. Come on though, you have kids doing horror film plays with popcorn acting as marijuana and shooting each other for a public performance. People are banning Christian Christmas decorations in schools. And now people giving out dangerous drinks.
For the bottom line I will tell you this, If you have drank these drinks I would hope for you that you stop. And for those who contemplate to refrain. You may think this as silly but I don't like death from stupidity. Unless it wasn't a drink it was something like being strapped to the top of the tallest tree, holding a metal umbrella and a lady gaga metal costume during a thunder storm. I don't have anything against that. That is your choice.
