All of those energy drinks have massive amounts of caffine in them. If you drink them regularly, then yes, they are very bad for you because you'll be addicted to caffine. If you just drink it once a week, then there isn't anything wrong with that.

A lot of research has been done on coffee to refute many early misconceptions that coffee is bad for you.  With caffeine as its active ingredient, the problems associated with it include increased blood pressure, increased heart rate, and increased risk of irregular heartbeat.  There are ongoing studies to show whether coffee is related to breast cancer and osteoporosis. Many of these negative effects are due to overconsumption, so coffee should be taken in moderation, much like any other substance.\n\nHowever, a lot of new research has shown that coffee might even be good for you.  According to a Harvard Research newsletter, coffee has been indicated potential decreases in risk for type 2 diabetes, gallstones, colon cancer, liver damage in people at high risk for liver disease, and Parkinson's Disease.  Coffee has also been shown to increase memory, alertness, and even endurance in physical activities.

Drinking is good for you as it helps digestion and recovers the loss of fluid in your body that you lose each day. Just make sure you are drinking plenty of water as opposed to flavoured drinks. Flavoured drinks are high in calories and sugar and hence increase weight. \n\nTry to avoid drinking anything that is not natural. Soft drinks have a bad impact on your body whether it is diet or not. Juices are really high in carbs and calories so unless you have one freshly made vegie juice try to avoid fruit juices. Milk drinks should be limited to one per day and skim is the preferred option. \n\nI tend to drink green tea after main meals as it is good for your metabolism and reduces feeling bloated.  \n\nOverall, if you exercise you need to replace fluid in your body so try to drink 3 litres of water.

There is a saying, and it goes like this: Anything in excess is harmful. \n\nToo much of a good thing becomes bad. Too much food, medicine,  water and even too much oxygen is harmful. My advise is take things in moderation, including workouts. Living healthy and fit is good as long as it is pursued in moderation, not excessively or obsessively.

As long as your burning off the calories that you consume, then yeah, I guess so. But it's still not healthy. The fat and salt content in fast food is sooo bad for you that all of the exercising in the world wouldn't stop you from having health problems.

Not at all, energy drinks are not a supplement for the energy that your body gets from eating healthy food. Try eating small meals or healthy snacks throughout the day instead, and lay off the Amp drinks.

While it is not horrible, it is also not great.  The amount of sodium and sugars is not great, plus the fact that they are fortified up to 100% of your RDA in things like Vitamin A and Vitamin C means that you will be drinking well over the recommended amount of these during the day.  Doing so regularly could create issues for your kidneys.

"There has been no conclusive study showing that coffee stunts your growth. However excessive coffee consumption can have a negative impact on your health."

Yes you may need to take 5 minute brakes and drink Gatorade or Powerade. The thing to avoid is drinking,Red Bull,Monsters or any other type of energy drink like that.  This is because the red bull will only give you a moments burst of energy while gatorade will keep you powered up for quite sometime and keep you hydrated.

First, do not listen to any answers if people do not qualify their info.  Red Bull was actually created as a sports drink in Europe, when brought to the US marketing determined they had a wider audience (higher sales) if they marketed as an energy drink.  It is like gatorade with caffeine.  IT contains stimulants, and yes, stimulants speed your metabolism, but very minimally and are not going to help you lose weight, the extra energy however, gives you the capacity to workout harder, which in turn burns more calories.  1)Drink = 2)more energy = 3)better workout = 4)weight loss.  without 2 and 3, 1 DOES NOT equal 4.  On the downside, most stimulants also act as diuretics (they dehydrate you).  Dehydration weakens performance (worse workout), particularly in longer duration cardio.  \n\nGOOD SIDE BAD SIDE, make the smart choice, if you feel better when you workout while or after drinking one, go for it, if you don't, then don't.  \n\nRemember, it is ultimately the workout (and diet) that determines your weight loss, supplements (pills or drinks) do nothing on their own, they work through their impact on your workout.

A glass of red wine a day is said to be good for the heart, and blood. Beer will just make you fat!

NO, drinking is NOT bad for diabetics, DUH! I love how every one says yes it is bad becuase of the sugar! Maybe some people who post comments will read this and know the truth! ARE YOU STUPID that is not why it is bad, the Barbra Davis center for diabetes says: \nBlood sugars may initially be elevated after drinking alcohol; beer, for example, contains a fair amount of carbohydrate. However, the more dangerous effect of alcohol is the lowering of the blood sugar level (as much as 6-12 hours later). The alcohol prevents the other foods stored in the body from being converted to blood sugar.\nIf alcohol consumption is to occur, some general rules are listed below:\n• Use alcohol only in moderation. Sip slowly and make one drink last a long time.\n• Eat when drinking alcohol. Never drink on an empty stomach.\n• A low blood sugar is the main worry - and a bedtime snack (solid protein and some carbohydrate) must be taken after drinking in the evening even if the bedtime blood sugar level is high.\n• The next morning, get up at the usual time, test blood sugar, take insulin, eat breakfast and then go back to bed if you feel ill. “Sleeping-in” can result in a bad reaction.\n• NEVER drink and drive. Ask a friend who has not been drinking to drive, or call someone to come and get you.\nA college student, helping to teach our College Workshop course to newly-graduated high school seniors, had a useful recommendation regarding college parties. He noted that if he had a cup in his hand, no one tried to push further drinks. In contrast, if his hands were empty (no glass), he received a lot of pressure. \nThe answer was to hold the same cup all evening and to just have fun!\nInstructions for completing food record form:\n1. Please write down everything you eat or drink for three days. This includes meals and snacks. Often it’s easier to remember what you eat if you record your food intake at the time you eat it.\n2. Include the amount of food or beverage eaten. Also include the method of preparation (baked, fried, broiled, etc.), as well as any brand names of products (labels can also be enclosed). Use standard measuring cups or spoons. Record meat portions in ounces after cooking. If you do not have a scale, you can estimate ounces. The size of a deck of cards is about equal to three ounces of meat.\n3. Be sure to include items added to your food. For example, include salad dressing on salad, margarine or butter on bread.\n4. Include any supplements you take (vitamin, mineral or protein powders). Write down the name of the supplement, what it contains and the amount taken. Include a copy of the label, if possible.\n5. Please include meal and snack times, blood glucose values, amount of insulin, type of food, amount of food, grams of carbohydrate and any activity or exercise. Put a star next to any blood sugar that is two hours after a meal. \nI found this info athttp://www.uchsc.edu/misc/diabetes/udchap11.html

I drink it weekly and find it is somewhat addictive like coffee.  Besides the extra calories, there are no studies that suggest that drinking one a day is hazardous to your health, but like anything else, everything in moderation is the key.  Watch out for the addictive properties, ensure you're physically active and have a good diet.  Check with your Doctor for further consultation.
