After that, I have a NOS. Energy Drinks are the socially acceptable morning beverage that isn't coffee.

That's how I got my first and hopefully last kidney stone.

Everything anout energy drinks' branding screams unhealthy. Even their advertising is focused on partying and extreme sports, it's like they want you to increase your chances of dying young.

That being said, the actual evidence of energy drinks being particularly unhealthy is kind of mixed.

They are indisputably unhealthy on account of the amount of sugar they contain.

There are sugar-free variants.
