The dangers of energy drinks

Energy drinks are generally safe, but you should drink them in moderation. As caffeine is a stimulant, consuming a lot of it can lead to heart palpitations, anxiety and insomnia. It also can make you feel nervous and irritable. Over time, caffeine can become addictive. It is also a diuretic; it causes the kidneys to remove extra fluid into the urine. That leaves less fluid in the body. The combination of the diuretic effect and sweating can severely dehydrate you.
