Nooooooooo! You're getting more than your recommended daily dose of caffeine!
Life's short, Drink up.
Speaking as one who once managed to addict herself to caffeine pills (No-Doze, Vivarin) in order to deal with too many work hours, the levels of caffeine cited make me wince. If the people who drink those drinks habitually ever decide to stop, they're probably in for some major headaches unless they wean themselves off of them gradually.

I used to work for a mail order company we had these plastic cuckcoo clocks the tackiest thing you have ever seen.
Also washing up glovers with a flower stuck on them.

In all fairness, my Dell lasted a good 5-6 years before it finally kicked the bucket. I got a lot of good use of out it.
Those curved wooden racks with a metal hook hanging from the end that you're supposed to hang bananas from so they'll ripen. Like they won't if you just leave them sitting on the kitchen counter.
But they'll ripen more evenly if they're hanging! Duh!
(yeah, I have one, what of it?)
Actually, there are a lot of ingredients that are in energy drinks that aren't in coffee, and some energy drinks have another benefit that coffee doesn't...the sugar free versions can actually taste good and not make you crash...
Energy drinks aren't particularly dangerous, you can overdose on anything...I saw a site that computed how many of certain kinds of drinks it would take to kill you...I forget the exact figure but one of the popular ones would take 4-500 before it would do that.
Some of us do exercise and get as much sleep as they can, but energy drinks can offer a boost to get more done during the day and more energy means more activity=increase in calories burned.
Between these two posts I'm assuming you don't smell very good and you have acne.
I smell just fine, thank you (thanks to soap and water) and I do NOT have acne. Never have.
When I said "body spray" I didn't mean deodorant. The latter is essential, the former is not.
By cosmetics, I also assume you mean ones that clean the skin and make it appear clearer, that includes basic alcohol, etc. Soap and water isn't really the most effective thing you can use to clean skin and it often leaves a film. Also there are a lot of people (men especially) who think they smell just fine with soap and water, but I think they could do with a spritz of mild body spray. Aerosol based ones don't smell good to me, but the one I use gets lots of attention!
RAMA
All I know is, if I happen to walk down the cosmetics aisle at my store, I see so much entirely useless crap that I can hardly keep from laughing. Stuff that only extremely vain, self-centered, strutting, preening mannequinoids would buy. Some of this stuff might be useful, but most of it probably isn't.
Like I said, I WASN'T TALKING ABOUT DEODORANT! Of course we all need deodorant. You can't get along without it. But body spray isn't deodorant! Body spray is just glorified cologne (which I also don't use) - just a smell, nothing more.
Out of curiosity, like what?
Some examples:
- Those mutant face mask mud things
- Anything with "Shea", whatever the hell that is. Sorry, the only relevance that word has to me is if it's immediately followed by "Stadium".
- Fancy body wash stuff (especially involving ingredients that are normally EATEN and not smeared on the body). I mean, we've already got too many varieties of soap, and now THIS?
- Entire lines of products for bald guys. Sorry, but I *am* bald, I've been that way for 4 1/2 years, and all I have ever needed to maintain that is a plain old normal razor and a can of shaving gel!
- Makeup (if you're not an actor or a TV anchorperson, what's the point?
)
