More Evil is right. Much more than the recommended intake of salt, sugar etc. If you are artificially kept awake your body doesn't get a chance to do all the recovery things it does when you are asleep

black coffee carries no nutritional value.  (and it helps with the caffeine addiction too if you are used to drinking a lot of caffeinated drinks).

Gatorade is older, came out first I mean. Was actually developed by some scientists or something for the Florida Gators football team. It's a good drink because of the electrolytes, which I don't know exactly how to explain what they're good for. Eventually, it got marketed and copyrighted and now I think Coca-Cola owns Gatorade. This isn't info from Wikipedia or the web.\n\nAlthough, I heard that Powerade is more beneficial than Gatorade. Just don't start drinking Red Bull or something if you are exercising. Carbonated drinks can cause cramping in muscles. I know this cuz my cross country and track coach (same guy) used to always get pissed off if he saw us drinking soda.

i don't think it's the caffeine, i think it's the damn "energy" drinks that contain all the taurine and whatever else they have in them.\nlong story short - ex husband got pulled over just around the corner from our house, cops called me to let me come get the car and the dog... he was going to jail.\n\nwhen i got there they wanted to know what kinda drugs we were doing.  well, to tell u and them the truth just a shi*t load of weed, at the time, they said his eyes looked like a guy who was smoking crack.  and he acted like one too!! total dick most of the time, but that's what 6 "energy" drinks will do to you a day.

There has been no conclusive study showing that coffee or caffeine stunts your growth. However excessive coffee consumption can have a negative impact on your health. \n\nFrom personal experience, my twin sister and I are prime examples.  She has never had a sip of coffee in her life.  I started drinking coffee in 2nd grade.  She's 5'2", and I'm 5'8".  Go figure.  I think it's different for each individual and their own body chemistry and how it reacts to caffeine.

Thats why soda is so bad for you.  Your basically dumping a can of acid into your body.  I can't even imagine the damage it does in there.

Consuming one 12-ounce (355-milliliter) sweetened soft drink per day increases a child's risk of obesity by 60%. \nNot only does caffeine contain empty calories (calories that don't provide any nutrients), kids who fill up on caffeinated beverages don't get the vitamins and minerals they need from healthy sources, putting them at risk for developing nutritional deficiencies. In particular, children who drink too much soda (which usually starts between the third and eighth grades) may miss getting the calcium they need from milk to build strong bones and teeth. \nDrinking too many sweetened caffeinated drinks could lead to dental cavities (or caries) from the high sugar content and the erosion of the enamel of the teeth from the acidity. Not convinced that sodas can wreak that much havoc on kids' teeth? Consider this: One 12-ounce (355-milliliter) nondiet, carbonated soft drink contains the equivalent of 10 teaspoons of sugar (49 milliliters) and 150 calories. \nCaffeine is a diuretic that causes the body to eliminate water (through urinating), which may contribute to dehydration. Caffeine may be an especially poor choice in hot weather, when children need to replace water lost through perspiration. \nAbruptly stopping caffeine may cause withdrawal symptoms (headaches, muscle aches, temporary depression, and irritability), especially for those who are used to consuming a lot. \nCaffeine can aggravate heart problems or nervous disorders, and some children may not be aware that they're at risk.

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.

Maybe you aren't drinking enough water. You need at least 8, 8 oz. cups of water a day. When you don't drink enough you are smothering your blood cells. There is a lack of oxygen. I was doing really well drinking my 8 glasses a day and I was full of energy. I have stopped drinking the water though against my better judgment. I have never really been a fan and I love Pepsi. I end up drinking too much soda and not enough water. I need to get my act together too. It's funny, I know for a fact that more water means more energy but for some reason I choose to ignore this fact. Not very smart huh...

I don't think this much Monster Energy drink is good for your kidney's plus you would be bouncing off the wall and probably have a stomach ache. It would be system overload.

Gatorade overall is bad for your health.\n\nIts primary function is to help people reatain water and hydration through salts and packed with lots of sugar.\n\nand it is designed for active people losing water through sweat...imagine a normal person not active. You build up on the sugars, the salt will bloat you, and Gatorade is really really bad for your teeth.\n\nonce in while is good.

As you may know sodas not that good for you. So you shouldnt drink any kind of soda to much. But otherwize there is a drink called jolt. Jolt has twice the caffine and twice the sugar. I would stay away from that one.

You should look at the ingredients that make it an energy drink. Many energy drinks use caffine as their "kick". A safer option might be "Emergen-C". It is a vitamin C supplement that you add to water.
