(HealthDay News) — While energy drinks are promoted as products that increase energy and enhance performance, they also can put users at risk.
From 2007 to 2011, energy-drink related emergency room visits doubled. Overconsumption of energy drinks can cause a host of issues, the U.S. National Institutes of Health says.

The NIH warns that excessive consumption can result in:

    • Sleep disturbances.
    • Anxiety.
    • Digestive problems.
    • Dehydration.
