Is it bad to have an energy drink a week?

Coz I like V drink (to me it's not an energy drink..it doesn't do anything)..well I like the taste of it so I drink about one a week. Is it harmful to have one a week?

Thanks xo

Update:

La Kho Kho: Thanks that really helped me :) My Y!A name is actually Mcr.Moosi xD MCR sounded funny :D ( I guess it just got cut off).

I know caffeine is bad but i reckon 1 drink per week is okay..so far I haven't had any health problems. Should I try Red Bull? ;)

Thanks

    Hello MCR moo, so you want to know that is it bad to have an energy

    drink. First you should know what is energy drink. Most of the drinks

    like energy drinks are made by mixing man made caffein. In coffee &

    chocolate also, caffeine is found but in these products caffeine is

    natural and not artificial or man made. Whether caffeine is good or not

    for our body. My answer is that limited caffeine is okay and moreover, you drink once in a week. However, drinking more caffeine has side effects. When caffeine enters in our body, it converts into energy and

    our brain and memory become sharp for few hours. However, try to

    avoid caffeine products in evenings as it can hinder one's good night sleep. In conclusion, drinking an energy drink a week is not a big deal

    and you may go ahead unless you have serious insomnia problem and under such conditions, even if you want to go ahead weekly energy drink, one should consult with one's physician. Hope my this reply

    would meet your requirement. Finally, wish you an energetic health

    with weekly energy drink.

    Dear MCR, glad to know ur comments. Frankly, Red Bull is the first drink of its kind which came in the USA market, who started this drink with synthetic caffeine and became so popular that dozens of other new companies entered in the market with caffeine drinks but still maximum share is held by Red Bull, who first entered in the market. There is no evidence at all that by taking one such drink weekly has any kind of health hazards whereas it provides boost to neurological system and keeps one alert for few hours and effects are just like drinking a cuppa of coffee. Therefore, drinking once a week has no any proven side effects. Many sports people and even non sports personalities drink such energy drinks several times in a week but from conservative point of view, I reserve my comments. Wishing you a very healthy time with your weekly Red Bull drink. La Kho Kho

    No. I've yet to find any conclusive evidence that energy drinks are dangerous in moderation, period. I drink energy drinks about every two days because it tastes good and have yet to have any health problems outside of occasional dizziness because I didn't drink enough water with it.

    No, i would say once a week is ok. It is probably better than drinking other soft drinks like coke or coffee once a week.

    Source(s): I really like the tast of V too.
