Stay Safe
Energy drinks are fine. That is just people with a tiny bit of knowledge showing exactly how little they truly know. Excessive caffeine use can cause a variety of health problems. It can also cause the heart beat faster but it doesn't "cause" death. People who die from elevated heart activity after consuming caffeine already had a with their heart. Just the caffeine triggered it. It could have also been triggered by exercise, thrilling excitement (like at an amusement park), fright, or anything else that can cause your heart to beat faster.
Caffeine is a fine boost for energy levels. As long as you are well hydrated and use it in moderation you will be fine. The maximum safe level for daily intake is 300mg. People who rely on caffeine every day just to keep going are doing things wrong in regards to sleep, hydration, and nutrition.
Red Bull has 80 mg of caffeine per 12 oz. Mountain Dew has 55 mg per 12 oz. It is no worse for you than having a couple sodas a day, plus it has some added vitamins and minerals like the B complexes and taurine. There is nothing particularly nefarious about Red Bull compared to other soda pops. If you eat a nutritious diet and have no serious heart or kidney issues, drinking one a day will not cause significant problems.

I'm 24 and i buy it by the crate, i have between five and six cans a day which i know is bad for me but short term binges on it are fine, i don't have any health problems from it (yet)...
i did cut back for a while when i began bleeding spontaneously out of the pores on my right arm about six months ago but when that stopped i got back on it!
I wouldn't worry too much, if i can abuse it to this extent and be ok then if you're healthy i'd say just use your own judgement based on how you feel!
Drink in moeradtion. Only when you actually need it, you will be fine.
