Are 'energy drinks' bad for you

In my research i have found that energy drinks may not kill you, but are certainly not good for you. Most energy drinks contain large amounts of sugar, and caffeine. These large amounts of sugar, and caffeine can make you vary jittery, and can cause insomnia. One main problem with energy drinks is that some children already have weight issues, and do not need a caffeine addiction to go along with it. The FDA (food and drug administration) does not restricted the amount of caffeine that company's put in the drinks These energy drink companies also have no restriction on if they put labels telling the consumer detailed information, such as amounts of caffeine in the drink. In conclusion, I am not telling you not to drink these drinks, I'm just telling you to be smart and use your head when it comes to consuming these products.

In city's you may not need to worry about venomous snakes, but if if you live (in the woods) or far away from any town you will have to be much more careful.
