The 'buzz' these drinks provide comes mainly from caffeine and sugar -- in some cases, as many as five teaspoons of sugar in a thin little can -- with a variety of extras thrown in. Some drinks load up on herbs like ma huang, ginseng, green tea or guarana, and market themselves as "natural" alternatives, despite the fact that ma huang is just a form of ephedrine. Others dispense with the froufrou stuff and sell themselves to bodybuilders, like Speed Stack, Adrenaline Rush or Extreme Ripped Force. Still others, like Red Bull, toss in chemicals like the nonessential amino acid taurine and make claims of increased endurance. Many drinks create a stew of all those things, plus a few more.

I am an adult and after drinking it I feel like the energizer bunny on crack! I cannot even imagine what that poison punch would do to a kid! Seriously, tachycardia can occur if little ones get a hold of strong stimulants.

They say its bad because there is a lot of caffeine in the drink. They put a lot of caffeine in the drink to make them supposedly give you energy or keep you alert.

Those drinks usually contain a whole lot of sugar and caffeine. You should not drink them often, they are so not good for you.
