Caffeine is an addicting drug, which is affecting 90% of Americans according to Coolquiz.com caffeine is found in coffee, energy drinks and all sorts of other progressive active drinks out there. Little do people know that caffeine in its natural state alters the brain, and stimulates it in a manner similar to the amphetamines cocaine and heroin.
The mechanical works between caffeine cocaine and heroin are closely related. These three drugs close blood vessels, so that the body and brain cannot sleep. This happens to cause a release of adrenaline in the body so that it stays up and alert. Caffeine also alters dopamine productions in the brain so people feel a certain "high". With that being said, this causes people to have a certain addiction to caffeine. According to Coolquiz.com, having more then 300 mg of caffeine per day, will make people suffer from withdrawal symptoms if they abruptly cut off their caffeine supply. Caffeine is not only found in large amounts in energy drinks, but are also found in other products such as from coffee, to tea, to colas, to milk chocolate, and to pain relievers, just to mention a few. But, my argument is not on those other products just the cast amounts that energy drinks have. With such a active society today, people are always looking for some boost of energy. A lot of people turn to big named energy drinks such as Monster, Rockstar, Amp, NOS, Red Bull and Redline. All these drinks have things in common, caffeine being the main one. What a lot of people don't know is that to much caffeine is bad for you, that being because big named companies don't tell you the effects. These effects include, symptoms of fatigue and
depression, irritability, tremors, jumpiness, deprivation of deep sleep,
and vascular headaches, as the blood vessels in the brain dilate. These are not life-threatening effects, but this is just coming from one of the ingredients that energy drinks possess.
