Because those drinks raise your heart rate and blood pressure and they contain a lot of caffeine which keep you awake. So you have a false sense of being alert and make you think that the drinks is good for you. They, technically - DO give you energy but in very high dose and very fast but the sugar and energy level also drops VERY fast too. Your body does not cope well with extreme fluctuation of brain and heart function like what these drinks give you.

The vitamins are there but it DOES NOT make you healthy. You need more nutrients than what the drink gives you and you get this by eating regular meals.

It is OK to drink it, but NOT in large amount and over long period. It is advertised as if these drinks are soft drinks.. but people need to realise that they ARE NOT.
Personally - I wouldn't recommend anyone under 15 years old to drink it. But that is my opinion. I think anyone under that age drinking it - they have a higher chance of their heart giving out.

My opinion.
Thanks for asking

Because people love to over exaggerate...they are perfectly fine in moderation. Just as eating a cheeseburger is fine to eat and won't cause a heart attack as long as you don't eat them everyday for every meal.

The problem is drinking too many. You can OD on vitamins.

Also, some people are mixing energy drinks with alcohol. This is bad because, first, the energy drink masks the affects of the alcohol; second, energy drink is an upper and alcohol is a downer. Your poor body just doesn't know what to do.

Excessive consumption of energy drinks speeds up your resting heart rate.

simple really. It's full of sugar and other acids. Thats's why athletes have rotten teeth, because that's all they drink. But they burn off all that energy so it's bad for you if you drink it and don't burn off the extra energy.

It has a BUNCH of calories in it. So even if it gives you energy, you have work way harder to work off those 500 calories.
