I'm sure everyone has had at least one energy drink in their life. Most people have one every day or almost everyday. Kind of like cigarettes, we know they are bad but we are going to consume them anyway because it feels awesome. Until you get lung cancer or in the case of the Energy Drink, you develop high blood pressure or possibly (very rarely) die from an overdose of caffeine. Also the vitamin B6 (taurine) is a very popular substance in many foods and drinks. There is an abundance amount of B6 in energy drinks that can become toxic to our bodies and could result in death. Why do people still consume these after knowing the risks?

I like energy drinks, but like most things you should only use them in moderation. Interesting topic though.
