1.        Headaches and Migraines
    Too many energy drinks can lead to severe headaches from the caffeine withdrawal symptoms.

    There was a study published in The Journal of American College Health which showed that teens are more likely to take dangerous risks when high on caffeine.
4.       Vomiting
    Too many energy drinks can lead to vomiting. This causes dehydration and acid erosion of teeth and esophagus if frequent.  
5.       Stress Hormone Release
    A study conducted by The Mayo Clinic found that a 240 mg version of Rockstar Energy Drink caused an increase in stress hormone release. The average norepinephrine level of the participants increased by 74% while the placebo only caused a 31% increase.
6.       High Blood Pressure
   Caffeinated products like energy drinks can elevate a person’s blood pressure. For those with normal blood pressure this isn’t concerning, but those with already elevated blood pressure could be placing themselves at risk of stroke and other health problems related to hypertension if they consume too many energy drinks in a short period of time.
7.      Addiction
