No thorough studies have been made yet, but massive doses of stimulants (especially in developing bodies) are probably not a great idea.

I wasn't surprised when I heard about energy drinks causing serious health problems. See, about 8 or 9 months ago I had a bad experience with them. I wanted to try out a Rockstar energy drink so I had my mom buy me one. I thought it was delicious and I felt fine after drinking it. Well the next day I wanted another. Bad decision. I had a really weird feeling in my stomach and in my chest. So I go to the movies and come back. I watch a little tv and bam! the room starts spinning, I checked my blood pressure on my dad's machine and it's like 160/90 I'm having a major panic attack. So now I have had anxiety issues ever since.
Are energy drinks really as bad as the media is making them out to be? - Yes, but really it depends on the person's tolerence to what's in the drinks.
Can energy drinks be safely consumed if used only here and there? - Well for me personally I'd never drink another one ever in my life but I guess you could have one here and there. But really it's a waste. Nothing but megaloads of caffeine, sugar, flavoring, and water.
Has their been any recorded deaths caused by drinking energy drinks? - I wouldn't be surprised if there was considering the experience that I've had with them.
