Human: Do energy drinks really keep you going during the day?

Assistant: Energy drinks include both caffeine and certain nutritive additives, such as vitamins and amino acids, that may help give an energy boost.  And they can certainly help some people feel more energetic.  However, they may also contain high levels of caffeine and contain other substances that have the potential to cause side effects, including insomnia, dizziness, jittery feeling, and rapid heartbeat.  While most people can tolerate the effects of energy drinks in small amounts, they’re usually not necessary.  If you’re feeling fatigued during the day, usually just getting a proper amount of sleep the night before is all that’s needed to feel more energized.  Energy drinks may be the best choice for the rare instances when people need a sleepless night, though.  And of course it’s always best to consult your doctor first when starting any new supplements or energy-boosting strategies.

Assistant: Actually, they probably don’t do what you think. While some energy drinks may give you a short boost in energy and alertness, they also contain a lot of caffeine and sugar, and too much caffeine and sugar can have some negative health effects as well, so they’re generally not considered safe by the medical community. You might be able to achieve the same boost in energy and alertness by eating healthy foods throughout the day, and avoiding large amounts of caffeine and sugar.
