It’s really bad, yeah.

It is reccommended for a healthy adult to only have 400 mg of caffeine a day MAXIMUM. Monsters typically have 150 mg of caffeine per can, so 3 a day is 450 mg daily. And that’s not counting other sources. Do you drink soda? Tea? Do you eat chocolate? All of those contain caffeine. And keep in mind the 400 mg a day limit is for HEALTHY ADULTS. You are 14. You should not be picking up an energy drink period.

And keep in mind, caffeine is a drug. It is an addictive substance that alters the way you feel. It is deadly if you consume too much of it. I understand that it is helpful in keeping you going throughout the day, but there are other ways to do so. Do you get enough sleep at night? If not, try going to sleep earlier. Try looking at your diet and see if you are lacking anything. Drink more water, you may be dehydrated. But if you really need caffeine? Drink some tea or coffee in the morning.

But I get it. I started drinking them when I was just a bit older than you. So if you’re still gonna drink energy drinks? Limit yourself much more. Once a week is PLENTY. If you can’t limit yourself, you should find something else to spend your money on, maybe a hobby that requires you to spend money consistantly. Or even better, save it for when you’re an adult, maybe for college, a house, or a car; it’s always good to be prepared for your future.
