Caffeine and energy drinks aren't necessarily deadly but they do have a different impact on everybody. Red Bull and other similar drinks did not have to be approved by the FDA before they started selling in the U.S. Red Bull has not been around long enough in the to prove there are worse long-term effects so stay informed of the possible risks they may have on our bodies later on.
According to Farnsworth, "Energy drinks do not have to be destructive if proper precautions are taken. They should not be consumed every day and especially no more than one or two a day. I really recommend using energy drinks with caution, know what you are putting into your body, do not use with alcohol or while pregnant."
As energy drinks become increasingly popular to college students they are offered on and off campus for convenience, keep in mind that just because they are called energy drinks do not mean they are healthy.
