(An example of energy drink options at a store)
Accelerated heart rate in a bottle! What a movement. Red bull is one thing, but drinks like "Nos" and "Crunk Juice" are just over the top. As a society, especially in teenagers, we have become accustom to drinking these drinks to "boost" our level of energy. I have an idea, how about some good old fashion sleep? If you are tired in the morning, starting your day with an excessive amount of caffeine, sugar and other random stimulants such as Taurine, probably isn't the way to go. Instead, a healthier alternative may be some natural sugar, as seen in fruit. Energy drinks may pack a punch, but is it too much?

But then there is the next level of energy drink. Instead of the classic drinks such as monster, amp, or red bull drinks alcoholic energy drinks such as Four Loco are being drank now by people in our society. This is just plain unhealthy. Why do we feel the need to pump these things into our bodies knowing the dangers and potential health risks involved? Come on people, this just makes no sense to me.

The main thing we need to consider with energy drinks is moderation. Once in a while having an energy drink probably isn't the worst thing in the world, but having them daily or weekly is just increasing the chance of heart disease! At the end of the day we need to be more aware of of health and overall well being, because we are the ones who control our destiny health wise. Be more careful what you pump into your body, because energy drinks are a VERY unhealthy fad in our society.
