There has been lots of studies done on the danger of drinking energy drinks, but how bad are they for you, really? As someone who used to drink them all day, everyday - I can tell you the changes from giving them up.
Red Bull, Monster and Amp drinks are actually nothing new. Energy drinks designed to give you a boost have been around for decades and one popular energy drink from the 90s is returning. Do you remember Surge? It's coming back, but not to store shelves.
Today, highly caffeinated drinks are more popular than ever, especially among teens. But one leading energy drink, Monster, is currently under investigation by the Food and Drug Administration for a possible link to five deaths.
