I drink around 1-2 1/2 cans of Monster per day and have never had problems. My dentist said they might cause tooth problems in the future because of the acidity, of course, but I haven't run into that yet.

I believe 2 cans is within the daily recommended allowance of caffeine, since each can has 180 mg and the limit is 400 a day. Although some days I drink a big can and like 1 1/2 normal cans, which is over the limit :<

Energy drinks can definitely cause heart problems because they tend to have alot of sugar which is not good for the heart.

I used to drink 3-4 of the big rockstars a day and they definitely fucked me up

---

not sure but i think it can especially if youre out of shape. mainly because the heart rate aint used to being that high from the energy drink

Yes, a woman was right behind me when I turned around and startled me today and my heart physically hurt for a while. If I was an old man, that could have been a heart attack. I drink an energy drink every day.

Sugar free energy drinks have artificial sweeteners which some are not good for your body and some artificial sweeteners have been linked to cancer. And alot of caffeine isn't good for the body.

Most things are bad for you. Just go with I if you like it

Hearts cause heart problems

Over-consumption of energy drinks can lead to kidney stones and other related problems. There are also not medically recommended for people over 40.

Many of the people chugging energy drinks like 6 packs of soda on a daily basis are going to have similar health issues in their later years. Most notably a high chance of incontinence before the age of 70. If they don't die of heart attack or stroke first...

Note to self: Aim for death by heart attack or stroke before you start peeing your pants

I only drank one and my heart felt like it was rapidly beating out of my chest. Hated that feeling, so have stayed away from them since. I just drink coffee or caffeinated soda if I need energy.

you also shouldn't be touching that stuff if your body is already a train wreck

fatties with cardiovascular issues who drink this shit are just burning the candle faster
working out and getting in healthier shape would be a better way to increase endurance
