Monster Madness
As I was growing up, I’ve never tried energy drinks. I thought they were going to cause problems in my body as an athlete. As I became older I started to know more about energy drinks. The most popular cans of energy drinks were “Monsters” and “Red bull”. I remember as I got into high school my mother always told me that energy drinks were bad for me and she didn’t want to see it in my hand. One random day in high school I got asked if I wanted to try some Red bull. At first I was unsure so I didn’t take any. Days passed and I was asked again, I wanted to know what it tasted like and what kind of energy it gave off, so I tried it. It tasted awful for the first time. I like the Monsters better than the Red bull cans. I started to get into Monsters last year. My boyfriend was a fan of Monsters and I used to take sips of his can. I then wanted my own can of monster, it somewhat became an addiction after a time past of just having one can. One can for me wasn’t enough for me, I loved the way it tasted and the smell was good. Some days I would be craving a Monster right when I got up. I would stop by the store and buy me a can. Later on in the day I would be craving another so I would be at nearest store purchasing a drink that was bad for me.
All though I knew energy drinks were bad, little did I know, “Health professionals believe the boost that energy drinks provide comes from the high levels of caffeine in each drink. Caffeine is the most commonly consumed drug in the world. It can be found naturally in plants or can be artificially manufactured and added to food and beverage”. (Crane) Today as I observe high school and college students, they have their hand clutched to an energy drink. The reason why I drink energy drinks in the morning and during the day is to wake up. I usually grab a monster a sixteen ounce can, and I finish it in my morning classes. By my own observations monster do give off that energy of alertness and I’m more awake. As
