Question by Jessica M: Positive effects of energy drinks?
Okay, so I’m doing a research paper for my English class on energy drinks. I need to argue both sides (positive and negative) for this assignment. Although I can find plenty of articles on the negative effects, it is becoming rather hard finding anything positive on the topic.
So my question is: What do YOU think are some positive effects of energy drinks? Your answers will be of much help. Thank you to all.
I am realizing that the most positive effects of energy drinks are not experienced by the people who consume them, rather by the companies who sell them.

They give you energy.
Give your answer to this question below!
Some people like the taste.
There are a lot more negatives then positives.
Your teacher is a fool for making you do this!
Overpriced.Bad for the heart & can make you shake.& be even more tired.
They keep you “regular”. That’s about it.
You won’t find any positive effects other than the short term feeling good or liking the taste.
My answer will be a combination answer of both positive and negatives.
First off, the positives:
– Yes, these companies strike it rich from teenagers constantly buying and drinking their products. (as you stated before)
– Keeps you alert and focused
– Non-alcoholic, so this is good that non-alcoholic drinks are becoming more and more popular among teens because it reduces accidents and situations involving the law!, however, for a research paper, you would have to find data to back this idea up, IF it were true, I’m just throwing a guess out there.
– They taste good
– Some are made in low-carb or carb-free, low-sugar or sugar free, low calorie or calorie-free varieties.
Now, the negatives:
– People experience a sudden crash and feel tired and weak after consuming energy drinks (after the initial energy rush)
– If too many energy drinks are consumed, it can lead to heart problems, or possibly death, as the caffeine rates in these drinks are jaw-droppingly gigantic.
– Some teenagers mix alcohol with energy drinks at parties, which is a deathly and dangerous mixture, for obvious reasons.
– Without proper diet and exercise, people who are frequent energy drink drinkers can gain weight, as energy drinks have absolutely NO healthy stuff in them, at all! They are LOADED with sugar, caffeine, and calories!
– Caffeine can actually become an addictive drug if a frequent energy drink drinker becomes too dependent on energy drinks during the course of a typical day.
HOPE THIS ALL HELPED! GOOD LUCK!
they taste good.
give you a burst of energy.
better for teenagers instead of alcohol.
If you get really smashed and you don’t think you can drive home it will help wake you up just enough to make out the blurry images of street signs and stoplights. ; )
