If I drank an energy drink, say every other day (monster is my fav!), then what will happen to me?

Question

My favorite is monster, and I tend to drink it almost everyday. I used to be addicted (twitchy and wasting my money to).

Answer 1

Nothing.  People are stupid, trying to tell you not to drink it.

I have been drinking three cans of monster a day for about a year and nothing has happened to me.  You'll be fine, they're just saying that to scare you.

you"d be able to run a mile in 3 minutes....

Answer 3

That's an interesting question, so I looked up wiki. here is what I found.

Side effects:

Energy drinks may cause seizures in those who suffer from certain forms of epilepsy due to the "crash" following the energy high that occurs after consumption.[4] France banned the popular energy drink Red Bull after the death of eighteen-year-old athlete Ross Cooney, who died after he played a basketball game after consuming four cans of the drink.[5] The French Scientific Committee (J.D. Birkel) concluded that Red Bull has excessive amounts of caffeine.[5] Denmark also banned Red Bull. Britain investigated the drink, but only issued a warning against its use by pregnant women.

Health concerns:

Energy drinks raise many health concerns, and several deaths have been linked to heavy energy drink consumption.

Consumption of large amounts of caffeine can be hazardous. Energy drinks contain caffeine ranging from 80 to 360 mgs per drink. According to a recent study, an adult can consume up to 400 mgs per day without adverse health effects, while children and women of reproductive age should limit their consumption of caffeine to 300 mg per day. [7] This threshold can easily be reached by consuming multiple drinks within a day. Unhealthy doses of caffeine can lead to nervousness, irritability, anxiety, tremulousness, muscle twitching (hyperreflexia), insomnia, headaches and respiratory alkalosis.

Contra Costa Times reported constructions workers being susceptible to overdosing on energy drinks due to their vulnerability to fatigue and stress. It is commonly assumed that energy drinks provide the consumer with bolts of energy and relieve stress. This assumption has been proved false by United Laboratories Los Alamos Scientific Observatory on many occasions. Countries such as Sweeden, Finland, Norway and Uruguay have banned such drinks due to these assumed effects causing life altering side effects and in many cases addiction. The addiction rate of these energy drinks is comparable to low doses of cocaine.

It should be noted that the brain quickly develops a tolerance to the stimulant effects of caffeine. Regular consumption of energy drinks, or coffee alike, leads to a need for increasing amounts of the beverage to be consumed to achieve desired results after just one or two weeks. Eventually heavy consumption of energy drinks will result in chronic fatigue as the user tries unsuccessfully to surmount the developed tolerance. Extremely unpleasant withdrawal symptoms become present when less than the built-up-to amount is consumed, including intense headache, fatigue coupled with an inability to sleep, and depression.

Energy drinks are often used as a mixer with alcohol, a popular combination being Red Bull with vodka. Combining energy drinks and alcohol can lead to several problems. Both alcohol and energy drinks dehydrate the body. Since dehydration is a contributor to hangovers, mixing these substances increases the likelihood of hangovers.[9] Second, consumption of energy drinks obscures ones perception of fatigue from drinking, one indicator of excess alcohol consumption. Consequently, the mixing of substances can increase the amount of alcohol consumed.
