Hedgie Hates #253: Energy Drinks
You can actually suffer severe health issues if you consume too much caffeine (read about some of the effects here). Even ‘natural’ energy drinks can cause issues (ginseng can disrupt sleep patterns), but thankfully most of the ‘natural’ or ‘herbal’ parts are easily passed out of the body when your body says it’s had the amount it requires for normal functioning. So long as you’re aware of your health (heart, allergies, pregancies, age, etc) and you consume them in moderation (even most energy drinks warn against more than 3 per day), then energy drinks aren’t all bad and are an relative ok source of caffeine when you’re on the go with a need for a pick-me-up. How do you feel about energy drinks? Which ones are your favorite or least favorite? Let Boo and I know here!
Psst – the “grey cat” energy drink is a reference to Snooch from Two Lumps, a comic about cats by my good friends Mel Hynes & J. Grant. Go read it here.
