Energy drinks don't get you drunk, so from my understanding of basic health, that makes them much more unhealthy.

Beer has been shown to have some health benefits when taken in moderation. Energy drinks give you heart attacks. I'll take beer.

I'd rather have beer instead of having my body hate me for drinking horrible energy drinks.

Energy Drinks. They are full of sugar, calories, taurine and guarana. Bad stuff but they taste so good!

Energy drinks contain a lot of ingredients that are not healthy in as high quantities as energy drinks provide.

it depends on what kind of energy drink you are talking about, but I'd say that they are worse than beer for the most part.

Everything in moderation

Neither will kill you if you drink a little bit; both will kill you if you drink way too much.

So I'm not sure how to vote. :P

Whats More Unhealthy Beer or Energy Drinks?D3ADMaggot911

I'm not afraid to die, so I drink energy drinks, pound 8 Heinekens a day, and live off a steady diet of Hot Pockets and Doritos. I live in my parent's basement, and spend my disposable income on video games. I am every person on this forum.

Energy drinks. High in sugar, lots of caffeine, and maybe a handful of other additives that are homeopathic at best in terms of their effect on the body and might as well not even be there (except they make good advertising buzzwords).

Beer is also high in calories, but you've got some fiber from the grain, a bit of protein, and depending on the other ingredients it'll also have iron and calcium.

Beer also has the added advantage of not giving you palpatations and peptic ulcers (unless you drink a ton of it, but by that point you have more pressing concerns than an ulcer).

Both can kill you (alcohol OD or caffeine OD) if not taken in moderation.

Beer helps people everywhere, of all shapes and sizes, get laid. Can energy drinks do that? Nope, didn't think so. I think that should answer your question.

Wow, there's caffeine OD?

There's no law against minors drinking energy drinks, so I have to go with that one. That and that my whole skin was red when I was falling asleep in a night shift and decided to drink coffee *and* a red bull

Taurine isn't dangerous.

Neither are the rest if you don't do it all the time. Can't people control themselves anymore?

Energy Drinks can give you Diabetes and Beer makes you fat. It depends on the energy drink though. Some like Red Bull aren't even that bad and have less caffiene then coffe. Others like Monster you have to worry about.

Probably the energy drinks. Pumped with caffeine. Beer doesn't have much alcohol in it.

Those Monster energy drinks are enormous. Most energy drinks I've seen are around 8 ounces.

I think it depends on the amount consumed. 1 beer a day seems much better than 1 energy drink a day while 6 beers a day is probably worse than 6 energy drinks a day (of course neither of those options are good).

I'm pretty sure that Monster has a lower concentration of caffeine per volume than other energy drinks.

The idea behind the various caffeinated malt beverages on the market is kind of amusing. Increased your heart and thinner blood, that sounds like a great idea...

From what i understand of Energy drinks/soda, most of the stuff they contain your body burns off relatively quickly, thus the energy boost you receive, as you body is burning up all the ingredients. Aside from the calories i dont think it does any permanent damage, whereas Alcohol, even in moderation, causes damage to the liver over the long term, and in the short term kills brain cells en masse.

energy drinks jack with your heart, while beer/alcohol jacks with your liver. now you tell me which one is more likely to get you liad and then decide which one is worse :P
