Time feels like gold when it comes to midterms and projects for college students. Staying up late until sunrise is sometimes the case of college students and to do so college students consume various types of energy drinks and caffeinated drinks. However, is this really the best study habit to thrive within higher education?
To thrive through higher education, students face enormous loads of work. Thus most rely on energy drinks in order maintain their concentration during study hours. According to the article “Ephedra and Energy Drinks on College Campuses,” by Daniel Ari Kapner, out of 496 college students survey, in 2007, shows over 51% consumes more than one energy drink per month. In this situation where energy drinks has a powerful hold in the market of college students, it could also cause somewhat negative effects to the life style of college students. Kapner says that having large quantities of energy drinks could result in side effects such as “dehydration, insomnia, headaches, nervousness, nosebleeds, and vomiting.” Moreover, many students consume these energy drinks mixed with alcohol which could even bring about a fatal situation. Exemplified in Kpaner’s article, “a 16-year-old Florida student died after consuming alcohol and energy drinks at a party.” Thus it can be inferred that energy drinks can be helpful in some ways of higher education but it may also result in a disaster when consumed in wrong dosages.
Not only will these energy drinks cause issues in student’s health but also his financial issues in college life. A 250mL can of Red Bull costs about 2 – 3 dollars, and a can of Monster Full Throttle costs about the same as 1.5L Dasani water – that is more than 3 dollars. 3 dollars may not sound much but when it comes to numerous exams and piles of projects, they’ll find themselves in financial crisis.
A burst of energy in a short term could push students to an A in a single exam. However layers and layers of energy drink seems to eventually push students into wrong directions, and rather than an A on their report, they find their lives in a downfall.
