Caffeinated Drinks Are Toxic & Awesome.

I've been feeling so tired these days. I don't sleep that late anymore though. Well, I have a stash of the original & purple AMP energy drinks & it seems to be the only thing that keeps me goin. I just found out that the purple grape flavored AMP SUCKS! It tastes ohkay, but the caffeine in it didn't have much effect on me. Cause today, I had one can & throughout the day, I still felt a bit tired & my eyes wanted to shut so badly...I'm never buying that purple one again, lol. Original,which is the color green, is so much better & keeps me wide awake. I read that energy drinks have at least 10x the amount of the caffeine that's in a cup of coffee. They say it'll give bad side effects on the long run or even cancer. Ohkay, the cancer part, I don't know if I can believe since it's never scientifically proven but then anything could happen. Honestly, I still like to drink it. I just don't drink it daily or anything cause I don't need that much caffeine or a boost. I only drink it on days where I know I'll feel really tired. There isn't really an alternative drink for me except for Espresso, which I also love, lol. But yeah, it shouldn't be too harmful if I'm not drinking it like every week. I drink it 3-4 times a month...Due to budget reasons, haha.

I think that energy drinks are not so great. I heard they can be addicting, although I'm not sure how true that us. Caffine in itself can be addicting. So, if AMP has 10x the caffine, wouldnt that be like, 10x more addicting?
