Energy drinks are beverages, which contain large doses of caffeine and other legal stimulants. Caffeine energy drink may contain as much as 80 mg of caffeine, the equivalent of a cup of coffee. Energy drinks should not be used while exercising as the combination of fluid loss from sweating and the diuretic quality of the caffeine can leave the user severely dehydrated.
Individual responses to caffeine energy drink vary, and these drinks should be treated carefully because of how powerful they are. Energy drinks' stimulating properties can boost the heart rate and blood pressure (sometimes to the point of palpitations), dehydrate the body, and, like other stimulants, prevents sleep.
