They have a LOT of sugar in them. As in, 12 teaspoons and up. That's tons of sugar. And, although sugar is good, that much of it is bad.

Water is best for you!

If its like once in a while it would be ok in my perspective

If it's like everyday then that's pretty bad.

If its 2 times a day then its extremely bad.

If used as intended and in moderation they are not bad for you. People think they are because many people drink too many, like it sounds like you may be doing. Also they hear it has high amounts of sugar and caffeine and assume it is bad.

Yes most regular energy drinks have a bunch of sugar. 26g - 34g per serving (8 ounces). But as long as you burn off more calories in a day then you consume that is not a problem. If you don't then they will contribute to weight gain and possibly diabeties and heart problems later.

Yes most regular energy drinks have a lot of caffeine in them. 80mg - 84mg per serving. That is more than tea and soda but it is still less than coffee which starts at 85mg. How many people are telling you about the caffeine in energy drinks but drink coffee? Well now you can tell them that they don't know what they are talking about. Just don't consume more than 300mg of caffeine in a day and you should be fine. Also drink extra water with energy drinks. It offsets the dehydrating effects of caffeine. Plus water is a natural energizer itself.

Red Bull recommends only 1 to 2 a day. Even the 2nd largest selling, XS Energy, which is the 1st and largest healthy energy drink suggests having only one and recommends against having more then 2 of theirs in a day. So if you use energy drinks as intended and in moderation you won't have problems.

Also don' t have any for at least 4 hours before going to bed. It will make it hard to sleep.

On top of the excessive amounts of sugar and caffeine, they also have way over your daily limit of most vitamins.

Not all energy drinks contain sugar, and guarana.

I found these http://cburton7.qhealthbeauty.com/produc... a while back and they are great. No crashing after they wear off. Nice energy boost. Has caffeine (of course) and lots of vitamins.

They also have caffeine-free http://cburton7.qhealthbeauty.com/produc...

It's a very good product with a bunch of different flavors.
