These drinks tends to be high in sugar and caffeine. They can raise your blood pressure and heart rate very high. They are NOT soft drinks (although they are marketed as one).

Personally – I wouldn't recommend ANYONE under 15 years old to drink it – but of course you drank alcohol so you should old enough.

People have been know to be so hyped up on it that they do crazy things and lose control (One case I know of a young man drank more than 5 of these in one hit and totally lost control of his senses – took a car and drove at high speed ended up crashing into a wall – killed. Not making this up – it actually happened)

Your brain just can't handle that much caffeine. So careful of how much you drink per day.

Long term affect is possible kidney damage, heart failure, brain damage.

Like anything else – all things in moderation. I'd hate to see you in a hospital.

I just believe that it's better to be safe than sorry. Switch it up once in a while. Oranges are one of nature's fruits that have alcohol in them. How do they feel for a change, when you have one of them. Grape fruit also will give you a different feeling. Check them out once or twice a week. Having your mood swings up and down to far apart is not good…I know it feels like it, but later on in life it catches up.References :

Yeah there's a couple but there's only one that I know and it is that it gives you a boost but when you come down you crash really hard.References :

err, well you shouldn't be drinking more than two small cans of energy drink (like the small redbulls) they can get your heart beat going so fast that you can end up having a heart attack, so definitely not a good thing to drink a lot of them too often.

ps. i've heard of this from news stories on the net, i'm not just making it upReferences :

I don't know any long term ones, although I'm sure there have to be some. But my friend drinks them all the time and if he drinks enough close together, he passes out no matter where we're at and he's impossible to get up.References :

You could get caffeine poisoning. Stop wasting your time with these adolescent addictions.References :
