Energy drinks contain substances that provide energy, of course, so they're bound to have side effects; especially if they're overdosed. Some of these side effects may include high anxiety, insomnia, dependence on energy drinks or alcohol, possible caffeine addiction, high blood pressure, and liver problems.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

caffeine overdose (which can lead to a number of symptoms, including palpitations, high blood pressure, nausea and vomiting, convulsions and, in some cases, even death)

type 2 diabetes – as high consumption of caffeine reduces insulin sensitivity

late miscarriages, low birthweight and stillbirths in pregnant women

neurological and cardiovascular system effects in children and adolescents

sensation-seeking behaviour

use and dependence on other harmful substances

poor dental health

somewhat ironically, given their association with sportiness, obesity
