Basically the information I found after searching the Net was that these energy drinks are not "proven" to be dangerous, but the ingredients are rather freaky-I can't imagine it would be good to consume these on a regular basis at all. There is danger in mixing these with alcohol also. There have been cases of deaths due to high intakes of these beverages followed by exercise, causing kidney failure. I would be concerned about the long term effects of drinking these beverages on a regular basis myself, but there doesn't seem to be any hard facts to back up claims of it being dangerous, just a lot of unvalidated claims.
