Many students at BHS drink an energy drink every morning to keep them awake at school, but that might not be the best thing.
There are many upsides and downsides to drinking energy drinks.
Some upsides are, depending on the person, they keep you awake and make you feel less tired.
Some downsides to drinking an energy drink every morning are, again depending on the person, could make you feel good at the start but throughout the day make you feel worse and worse, and give you headaches and other side effects.
Studies show that, especially in adolescents, energy drinks can cause severe heart issues in the long term.
Along with energy drinks being bad for you they also create a false sense of energy and once the energy wears off it may make you feel extremely tired.
The average energy drink has between 80 to 150 milligrams of caffeine per 8 ounces, which might not seem like a lot but is actually a ton of energy in just 8 ounces.
I think that energy drinks are fine to drink but only in moderation, and not every single day, and drinking them everyday can lead to severe health problems.
