Question:

How bad are energy drinks for you? and why did cocaine energy get banned?

Answers:
energy drinks are one of the worst things to do to your heart. you may think you are doing better now but in the long run it will only hurt you. gatorade would be good or even water will give you a little bit of energy. try eating something small as well to give you energy. its always best to have some food in your system that way your body will have something to run off of...hope that helps

cocaine is great, exept for the nostral damage and it makes people act stupid sometimes..i no longer do it but i liked it when i did

Energy drinks are supposed to be bad because of the amount of caffenine they contain. In large amounts, caffenine raises your bloodpressure and heartbeat, increases breathing rate, and can make you very dehydrated.

The drink hasn't been banned completely, but it is getting a name change, do to the controvery of it being named after an illegal drug. Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, who announced the company's agreement with his state Monday stated, "Our main complaint about Cocaine is its name and marketing strategy seeking to glorify illegal drug use and exploit the allure of marketing 'Speed in a Can,' as it called the product."

Active ingredients are Guarana and Caffeine.

Guarana consumption should be approved by a physician.

I would try anything with the B -complex vitamins and see if your ADHD improves with that as an alternative.

As for the advertising for cocaine Simple IT WAS FALSE advertising.

Energy drinks are not bad for u unless u go overboard, personally i have to drink one everyday before work, they usually just have a lot of vitamin, taurine, and a few other harmless substances, cocaine got banned becuase of the name not whats in it

Too much of any thing is bad - consume in moderation.

As for Cocaine Energy Drink -

Cocaine brand energy drink (produced by Redux Beverages of Las Vegas) has been voluntarily removed from the store shelves in New York and many other markets because of the protests by concerned consumers.

In addition, in an AP news article on BevNet.com:

"The Food and Drug Administration said Redux Beverages LLC is illegally marketing the drink as both a street drug alternative and a dietary supplement, according to a warning letter dated April 4 but publicly released Wednesday. The FDA cites as evidence the drink's own labeling and Web site, which include the statements "Speed in a Can," "Liquid Cocaine" and "Cocaine ― Instant Rush," according to the letter."

Also from the same article to answer your question:

"... Cocaine is an energy drink produced by a Las Vegas company. It contains no actual cocaine, but is being marketed as "The Legal Alternative" to the illegal drug, according to its Web site. Its logo appears to be spelled out in a white powder that resembles the drug."
