Guido, I think we've discussed all we can. Energy drinks are not healthy. Not that drinking one is going to kill you, but excessive amounts of daily consumption is not particularly the best thing in the world.

Also, people who drink "Energy drinks" aren't exactly the brightest bunch of people (i.e. 13-year-olds), so you can't expect too much from them.

i wouldnt say that energy drinks are that bad... just look at coffee it has caffeine in it and some people drink a few coffees a day. plus vitamin b is a watersoluble so it doesn't matter how much of it you consume, and for the most part energy drinks don't even work they just have a placebo effect and people think they actually have more energy.

Nobody's ever going to suggest that coffee's healthy.

Actually, those 165435214 grams of carbohydrates give you considerable amounts of energy; I don't know where you got the idea that they work off of the placebo effect...

@jewp: I know, but a man can hope, can't he?

Energy drinks are the legal beer for minors, except beer is somewhat of a social stigma at this age. That might make a good essay topic, just to be optimistic with getting something out of this thread.
