Energy Drink Reflection

In my opinion, Energy drinks are not good for teenagers but a grown person could drink one if he is feeling low, so he could boost his energy level. Energy drinks contain too many harmful ingredients for the body, that is why I say that teenagers should not drink it. Too much sugar and caffeine can mess up the systems that are still developing in a teenager and cause health problems. Some people would disagree with me, saying that energy drinks are not harmful if a person only takes one. But I believe that people can get energy from proper nutrition and a good night of sleep. The Energy drink makers would say that energy drinks help people because it keeps them awake, so they could perform tasks they have to accomplish. They would also say that everything has sugar in it, so the energy drinks are no different. Lastly, I've never liked energy drinks, so I do not drink them and I'm not planning on drinking or relying on any for energy because they're harmful to the body, more specifically the Cardiac system!
