An energy drink is a non-alcohol beverage that contains stimulant components, such as caffeine, sugar, other sweeteners, herbal extracts, taurine, and amino acids. The ingredients of the energy drinks produce effects on cognitive performance, like increased attention and reaction speed. Energy drinks are considered a subset in the soft drinks industry. Energy drinks became known in the 19th century in Europe when chemists mixed caffeine or coca leaves with other drinking ingredients. At the beginning of the 20th century, Coca Cola and Pepsi were considered energy boosters due to the active and stimulant ingredients they contained (coca leaves and kola nuts). In 1949, Dr. Enuf was launched in the US, the first energy drink similar to today’s offering that contained B vitamins, caffeine, and cane sugar. Over the last 20 years, energy drinks such as Red Bull and Monster have become increasingly popular, rapidly gaining energy drink market share, especially with young people, with many clubbers mixing them with alcohol.
