In the present society, people’s schedules tend to be extremely hectic due to either strenuous work schedules or keeping up with school and families. Due to this, numerous individuals do not obtain the recommended eight hours of sleep. On top of not getting enough sleep, they do not eat the proper foods to nourish their bodies. In return, they have a substantial lack of energy. Usually people who do not take care of themselves tend to eventually get more tired by mid-day and as their day goes on. A simple solution would be to go to bed earlier and eat better foods. However, our society has become very lazy, obese, and have started to take the easy way out over the years. Instead of eating better and trying to get more sleep, people drink energy drinks as an easy and fast way to get a boost of energy. Energy drinks have been around since the nineteen-sixties and have become increasingly more popular. There are hundreds of different brands of energy drinks that are sold in grocery stores and gas stations today, and worse than that billions of them are consumed every year. Even though multiple energy drinks are consumed every year, many people are uninformed about; what an energy drink is, what the benefits and non-benefits are, what different types of energy drinks there are, and how mixing them with alcohol can be seriously dangerous.

After PDB acquired Crescent Pure in July of 2013, its management team was faced with a decision when discussing how the product was to be marketed -- some felt that the drink’s energizing ingredients would make it a better fit as an energy drink, while others felt that its hydrating elements would make it a better fit as a sports drink (Quelch, Zalsoh 2014).

Drinks that do not have a metabolic energy source can give off increased energy by adding other factors to it. For example, caffeine may give the perception of energy being increased if you add sugar to it. That sugar is absorbed by the blood and breaks down the bonds of glucose, going through cellular respiration process. This helps the releasing of energy to the body, helping drinks that contain no metabolic energy sources.
The three basic nutritional components found in food--carbohydrates, proteins, and fats--are used as energy after being converted to simpler products. Some alcoholics ingest as much as 50 percent of their total daily calories from alcohol, often neglecting important foods. Even when food intake is adequate, alcohol can damage the mechanisms by which the body controls blood glucose levels, resulting in either increased or decreased blood glucose (glucose is the body's principal sugar. As a result, alcohol causes the brain and other body tissue to be deprived of glucose needed for energy and function. Although alcohol is an energy source, how the body processes and uses the energy from alcohol is more complex than can be explained by a simple calorie conversion value. For example, alcohol provides an average of 20 percent of the calories in the diet of the upper third of drinking Americans, and we might expect many drinkers who consume such amounts to be obese. Instead, national data indicate that, despite higher caloric intake, drinkers are no more obese than nondrinkers. Also, when alcohol is substituted for carbohydrates, calorie for calorie, subjects tend to lose weight, indicating that they derive less energy from alcohol than from food

To start off my search, I went to Proquest. My first search was caffeine on the brain which gave me 12,962 results. To try and refine the search I looked up The effects of caffeine on the brain which still gave me 8,111 results. My final attempt was effects of caffeine on the teenage brain which gave me 308 results. Figuring that was the best I could get with my topic, I combed through the results. I found one article called “Selling the youth on “gaming fuel.” This article gave many key details I thought I would need. Later on I decided not to use the article and find new ones instead. The second article I found with proquest was titled “Consumers of mental health services: their knowledge, attitudes, and practices about high energy drinks
Stroll into any high school or college and one will definitely find energy drinks. Energy drinks are served in tall cans with garish designs and slogans designed to catch the attention of children and teenagers. But what are they? Commercials will tell people that just by drinking them, they can stay up all night, ace a test, score with a girl, and be happy. Some have even said to give you superpowers. According to the advertising campaigns, energy drinks are equivalent to omnipotence in a can. But are energy drinks all they claim to be? The simple answer is no. Often energy drinks turn out to be more than just sugar and caffeine which makes energy drinks dangerous.

There are many similarities between coffee and energy drinks. One of those similarities is each one of these drinks have a lot of caffeine in them. Caffeine is a part in some drinks that wake you up which is why you shouldn’t drink certain drinks late at night. These drinks have different amounts of caffeine but both have a lot of it and will keep you up late at night so I wouldn’t drink these drinks at night. Another similarity between these two drinks is that the both are good for concentration and they are also good for wakefulness. Also it is good to get some carbs and these drinks both have carbs in them.
