They can be bad for your kidneys and bladder, b/c they are full of sugar and sodium. Be sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day when you drink them, so that you don't wind up w/ a kidney infection or stone, or a bladder/urinary tract infection.

Also, the sugar in those drinks -or ANY sodas- can rot your teeth faster than any other drinks, even very acidic fruit juices. Be sure to brush your teeth frequently, and drinking the water will help keep your mouth clean when you aren't able to brush.

ha .. well its not helping you

except for the fact that you have a lot of energy, who knows?
I've downed 3 red bulls in 1 minute before and it was AWESOME!

It ain't good.

Those aren't the best thing in the world to drink, but as long as you don't go overboard and drink several in a row or anything you should be fine.

yea, too much crap ie; sugar, caffeine

I have read that it is possible to OD on caffeine, but drinking one can of it will not harm you.

keep it up and find out!!

Hah, well yes
MOST Energy Drinks are extremely bad for your health if you drink them regularly, on a daily basis.

There is major caffiene and sugar, which maybe is not so much of an issue. But read the can; look up the ingredients on the internet. There are several things that do not do your body good in them.

Also, if you read the can, there is a limit of how much you should drink at a time/per day.

Probably just like everything else that is suppost to be healthy is turning out the opposite,

Best to down a regular sized glass of water instead and save your money.

well monsters aren't good.
they do something to your heart i believe.

maybe like it is ok since there was a week in between.

monsters are soo good! not for your health, but they taste good!
:D

There's quite a bit of sugar in those drinks. I guess it depends how active you are. I wouldn't recommend downing one every night before you sleep.

i recently read that 400 mg of caffeine in a day can send some people into caffeine poisoning, which may be fatal. one is prob. ok, but you shouldn't do it too much.

Energy drinks are absuloutly horrid, but I'm not saying one a week hurts. Just please don't chug down 3 Red Bulls like that one guy. There was an entire article where a man died from chuging 3 red bulls, running, and then dying because his heart was overloaded. So the occasional energy drink is fine, but its all crap inside.

Once a week? No.

yes
