people who have drunk red bull before exercise have died due to heart failure...
also, those energy lows can really put a damper on your day...

in short, yes! They are usually high in caffeine and sugar.
well i don't know how bad in detail, but have you read the ingredients!!!!!
there are so many chemicals in it that it must be bad for you ya know...

yes. energy drinks are nothing more than tons of caffine. Drinking that much caffine can cause alot of heart problems since they way they work is to basically make your heart beat faster. You are overworking your heart. If you drink too many in a short period of time you can actually give yourself a heart attack and die.
You need to slowly scale back. If you drink 4 a day now cut back to 3, then 2, then 1, then 1 every few days. You don't want to shock your system by suddenly withdrawing something it has become dependant on.
Try something else that is full of energy like a handfull of nuts or a fitness bar.
it depends on what type of drink for instance take red bull and monster if you drink at lease 6 you probably pass out from fatigue.
The main thing you should know about most popular energy drinks, is that they contain high amounts of sugar and caffeine. This is what gives you a "buzz" or "jolt" of energy then a "crash". If you think about it, this can really be hard on a person's body if they drink a lot of these drinks.
I found one that does not contain all the sugar and caffeine, works in minutes after I drink it, lasts for several hours, and is HEALTHY for me to drink. If you are concerned about your health, you may want to consider this drink as an alternative.

they raise your blood pressure and put a strain on you heart.
