Why I Picked This Topic

The reason picked this topic is because when I was young and naive my mom gave me an energy drinks before a basketball game and I played the whole game and didn't get tired because I thought it worked immediately but when I got home my mom told me it takes an hour for the "energy" to kick in. Ever since then energy drinks have no effect on me at all because I think it's all a gimmick and it only works as a placebo effect.

Graph

Energy drinks contain outrageous amounts of caffeine, 200mg of caffeine is about the most you should drink but there are people who drink multiple energy drinks daily putting them over the 200mg mark which could lead to insomnia, nervousness, Irritability, muscle tremors, headaches, upset stomach and other symptoms. Some people are more sensitive then other so even less than 200mg of caffeine could have you jittery
