Abstract
This paper highlights the increase in the consumption of energy drinks, particularly among adolescents and university students. It aims to raise awareness of the health risks associated with excessive intake and evaluate both the positive and negative effects on the human body. Using statistical data and comparative tables, the study examines how energy drinks affect key systems such as the cardiovascular, renal, neurological and other systems. While short-term benefits like increased alertness and concentration may attract consumers, the potential harms are significant. The paper emphasizes the urgent need for improved public health education and stricter awareness around energy drink consumption
