Alright, I'm 13. I don't drink energy drinks often. I rarely ever have them. I can still remember the amount of energy drinks that I have had in my life. Other than an increased heart beat, panic attacks due to the increased heart beat and possible death what other health effects are there?

In 2009 (one 250ml Red Bull, one 250ml V).
In 2010 (three 50ml V pocket rockets, one 500ml monster, four 250ml Vs).
In 2011 (one 500ml monster, one 500ml Mother).

I know I kinda had heaps in 2010 but that was over a 12 month period and on average, less than one a month. The only reason why I take them is because they seriously give me an energy boost. A lot of the time when I get home from school, I'm really tired and often either go to sleep for two-three hours. I know that energy drinks aren't healthy but as mentioned before, it gives me an energy boost and helps me concentrate. Often I'm quite tense after school. I get tired easily after school.

P.S. I know I shouldn't be drinking them and that they are unhealthy, but energy is what we need in life and sometimes we need a boost.
