depends on what energy drink it is.  some are loaded with terrible stuff... like monsters.  they are just extremely unhealthy.  they're really not that threatening unless you're really young though

Anything in moderation is o.k. but personally i try and stay away from caffeine... it's addictive.

Answer 11

Answer 12

rise you heart rate.

stun your growth

Answer 13

yeah they are bad for you

Answer 14

Most of them simply boost your energy levels in a very temporary basis, by using sugars/sugar-like chemicals for a short term immediate boost, and caffeeine for a medium term boost.  When you come down off them, you come down lower then you were before, and your body, feeling the energy loss thinks it's hungry. That drives you to want to have another - or gorge on carbs (Doritos). It fuels a cycle of up-down-up-down that trains the body to think it's normal. And that screws with the body's built-in levelling mechanisms for such, which is one of the reasons so many people are turning into diabetics.

Answer 15

They increase your heart rate (which is bad) because of all that caffeine and sugar. Some of them have traces of alcohol. They can cause insomnia. They can stop your growth. They're just plain bad for you.

Answer 16

Lmao.

Your parents are weird.
