i don't think it's the caffeine, i think it's the damn "energy" drinks that contain all the taurine and whatever else they have in them.\nlong story short - ex husband got pulled over just around the corner from our house, cops called me to let me come get the car and the dog... he was going to jail.\n\nwhen i got there they wanted to know what kinda drugs we were doing.  well, to tell u and them the truth just a shi*t load of weed, at the time, they said his eyes looked like a guy who was smoking crack.  and he acted like one too!! total dick most of the time, but that's what 6 "energy" drinks will do to you a day.

It has been know to yes, any excessive amount of drugs can. It is highly unlikely, but my girlfriend got afew from caffeine. They were dormate, and did not do any damage, and actually wound up going away as she weened herself off of caffeine.

This has already started...Vending machines being pulled from schools...California has toyed with the idea of a Tax on soft drinks to "offset" health associated costs due to childhood obesity...etc....\n\nWhats next?  We keep sacrificing a little bit more free choice and parental control to the Government to do it for us every day....After caffeine who will they go after....because realistically EVERY food causes some sort of issue in a percentage of the population.....even those consider the most "healthy" beans, legumes, peanuts, sprouts...etc Look up any food and you will find medical problems related to someone with it...should we regulate everything everyone eats because some don't control themselves or their children at all?????

Caffeine is like everything else in this world, use the golden rule "Everything in moderation." Caffeine is a drug. In limited doses, it will do you no harm, but in larger doses you can become addicted.

It's a little high. But that could be from you being edgy, having just drank a soda (caffiene speeds up your heart rate) and out of shape. Best way to get it to go down is exercise. I'm fairly in shape and my resting heart rate is about 70.

Hye this is what I found from ROBERT ANDERSON, M.D.:\n"  Caffeine's effect on your sperm count depends on the health of your reproductive system. If you have a low sperm count, caffeine may increase your fertility. If your sperm count is normal, however, caffeine might decrease your chances of impregnating your partner. "\n\nSo there you have, but he later admits no real conclusive studies have been made, I would suggest to stay away from all energy drinks though, as they are banned in several countries, because not enough research has been done on the subject, and there have been problems with them.

Why is it so important for so many people to intrude into the lives of others?  A better question to ask other than "Why should it be leagalized?" is "Why is it illegal?"  Why has the government decided that some drugs (alchohol, nicotiene, caffiene) should be legal for unregulated consumption, and a basically harmless soft drug like marijuana with debatable medicinal benifits is demonized and thrown into the same catagory as herion and cocaine which like alchohol have ruined millions of lives and killed millions of people?\n\nWhy are you so concerned with what people do with their personal time?

Don't let it get to you honey!  Remember, it's nothing but a bunch of 1's and 0's!! ;)\n\nAlso, in cases when I've run out of coffee and needed that all important jolt of caffeine:  munch on chocolate-covered espresso beans then follow with a tracer of Jolt soda.  \n\nActually while you're the market, can you pick up some tofu for me? I ran out. :)))))\n\nKeep smiling! :)

I don't know, but I am a regular coffee drinker and a cup of hot tea will turn me into a hyper active person.  It is too much for me.

There is no concrete answer as genetics and lifestyle habits will determine the effect of long time caffeine utilization.  I believe i is great but then again I have no job and I am also addicted to Yahoo Answers...I bet Yahoo will come out w/ an article about how great Yahoo Answers are but realistically they are killing productivity worldwide while preparing a propaganda campaign of subconscious self promotion and advertising

Yes- they contain insane amounts of caffeine and you should be sure not to take them within four hours of the time you intend to go to sleep, and preferably six.
