Are energy drinks considered "bad" for teens?

I'm 15 years old and I just went into the fridge and grabbed a Red Bull. As I was walking back to my computer, my dad started to yell at me and said that I'm not supposed to have energy drinks. When he said that he meant kids my age in general shouldn't have energy drinks. There is no evidence of alcohol in Red Bull either. It's not like I have one every single day of the week either. I just like to have one every once in a while. He seemed really mad at me but I really don't see what is the big deal about it.

    An occasional energy drink isn't bad, but if you find yourself downing them daily, then your in trouble. Try going with something like Sprite, Doctor Peper, water, or whatever else you got in your basement. Also, I read somewhere that extremely high amounts of caffine lead to Erectile disfunction, and I can tell you right now, you do NOT want that. How much would it blow if your girlfriend came by, wearinig nothing but sexy lingerie, and was slowly, taking it all off, getting in a hot steamy shower, and she moans for you to join her, but your sittin their with your red bull and your wang ain't goin nowhere. Just think about that.
