They’re probably not good at all, especially if consumed on a regular basis. Everyone would probably be concerned about the caffeine but that’s not my concern. The other stimulants, high sugar and other garbage in them is no good.
Just drink organic black coffee and you can drink as much as your body can tolerate (within reason).
Not all energy drinks are the same and the answer can really only be meaningful in a lifestyle context.
If someone takes an energy drink prior to their daily gym regimen or their daily 5km run, it probably isn’t doing any harm and probably even helps.
If they’re taking a few energy drinks to stay awake to sit down and play their video games for 8 hrs straight and do this regularly, then the energy drinks are probably not helping.
How “good” or “bad” things are is nearly always a question of moderation and context.
Moderation is key. I used to work alternating day/night shifts at my old job and would routinely drink 2 cans of Bang (300mg caffeine EACH, essentially almost 2 monsters or 4 red bulls) during 12 hour shifts to remain alert.
That was bad.
But once in a while, an energy drink is not a big deal for your health. Its like having a coffee, soda, and a bunch of vitamins, as has been said.
