Energy drinks are unhealthy because they contain extremely high levels of sugar and caffeine as well as calories.

Energy drinks have also been known to cause kidney stones, because they are highly acidic, just like soft drinks. It is best to limit yourself to small amounts of caffeine and energy drinks. If you really need to use energy drinks try healthier energy drinks. One called FRS is one of the best out on the market.
