Well, energy drinks are supposed to replace electrolytes in your brain when you lose some. You lose electrolytes when playing sports, or any physical activity that puts pressure on your body. You should only be drinking these energy drinks AFTER a game or dance or whatever it is you do. They should not be drunk randomly or for fun. It is really bad for you that way.
And as for coffee, there is actually a study that drinking that much coffee in a day makes you live longer, which is from an article I read on Yahoo! (link is below). I personally don’t drink that much coffee, because I don’t want to get addicted, but that’s just my opinion. Read the article, it has lots of info:)
