21 Energy Drink Brands, Ranked Worst To Best

They don't all taste like battery acid.

Caffeine is everywhere, but one particular niche in the beverage market gets an especially bad rap—energy drinks. And some of the criticism is warranted. Panera's caffeinated Charged Lemonades have been mired in controversy since they were released in 2022. Other energy-drink brands, like Prime, have faced serious backlash for targeting young consumers despite the serious potential side effects .

From a flavor and branding perspective, the energy-drink industry has historically missed the mark. Its aggressively hypermasculine advertising has created a boys club of sorts. But calling flavors "Hardcore Apple" and "Assault" was never enough to hide how gross they actually tasted.

Over the past several years, the energy-drink market has shifted. New brands have emerged with offerings that give you a boost of energy without tasting like battery acid. And now we can confidently say that some energy drinks are, in fact, refreshing and enjoyable.

Our team of editors tried energy drinks from 21 brands, sampling several flavors from each brand (whatever you do, do NOT try this at home). These are our unfiltered reviews of some of the most interesting brands on the market, ranked from worst to best:

While we enjoy Steaz's mildly caffeinated green teas, their acerola- and coffeeberry-spiked yerba mate blends are rough . The 165 mg of caffeine is not enough to convince us to power through the funky, musty flavor. Don't get us wrong, we generally like yerba mate—but we don't like this.

20. Sambazon

Açaí is a superfood packed with antioxidants that tastes great in smoothies and bowls . We often reach for Sambazon's products when making those recipes, but we can't see ourselves ever buying their energy drinks. The use of natural flavorings is a definite plus, but none of their flavors are really refreshing.

Gorgie is a relative newcomer, and we were initially excited that the lighthearted and feminine branding could break up the macho monotony of the market. The use of green tea-based caffeine is a definite plus, along with their use of natural flavors. But, unfortunately, it didn't taste natural at all. The Gorgie flavors we tried tasted generic and artificial with an aggressive chemical aftertaste (maybe from all the added supplements).

17. Alani Nu

One of our tasters described the packaging of Alani Nu energy drinks as "vape shop-coded." You might recognize Alani Nu as the company that partnered with Kim Kardashian for her own signature energy drink . We didn't get the chance to try the famous Kimade, but all the others we drank tasted like straight-up chemicals.

There's no better word to describe Reign's line of energy drinks than cloying . But, honestly, what else would you expect from flavors like Reignbow Sherbet and White Gummy Bear? This might have ranked higher spot on our list if it had more intense and refreshing carbonation to offset the sweetness.

15. Rockstar

You're probably familiar with Rockstar. It's been a mainstay since 2001, and as of 2020, had a 10 percent market share of the global energy-drink market. But we didn't exactly enjoy the flavors we tried. Just like with many other brands, Rockstar is far too sweet to be considered refreshing.

Another energy drink with vape shop-style packaging. This is definitely a brand that would appeal to a young audience, with collaborations with Sour Warheads, Sour Patch Kids, and esports organization FaZe clan. And it's sweetened accordingly (i.e., heavily). But we will give the brand points for actually tasting like the candy on the labels.

13. Fast Twitch By Gatorade

When Gatorade announced that they were launching their own line of energy drinks in 2022, we were super excited. Our team was hoping for a caffeinated beverage that had the same refreshing hydration as Gatorade, but that was unfortunately not the case. One of our tasters said that "something's off" about Fast Twitch. Others added that you can taste the artificial sweeteners in every sip.

12. Monster

When we think of the intensely masculine branding of yesteryear, Monster is the first energy drink to come to mind. Some of the flavors are hit or miss, but the original recipe is actually not half bad. It's crisp and citrus-forward, which helps cut through some of the heavy sweetness. Getting past the packaging is still tough, though.

C4 has positioned itself as the best energy drink for fitness and performance. While we can't exactly comment on that aspect of their products, we did generally enjoy the carbonated flavors they have to offer. Orange Slice was a particular favorite, with one taster describing it as tasting like Sunny D.

One of the founders of Prime is internet personality and public scourge Logan Paul. The beverage has received intense scrutiny over its caffeine content, including a scathing critique from Senator Chuck Schumer . The Canadian government even pulled it from shelves last year. But, scandal aside, it lowkey tastes pretty good. It's very carbonated and comes in interesting, albeit super sweet, flavors. We're not suddenly going to become fans of Logan Paul, but we'd drink Prime if it was around.

During this taste test we noticed that many sugar-free brands struggled to create natural-tasting flavors. Riot pleasantly surprised us. Even with the use of erythritol , their energy drinks actually tasted as advertised. The Strawberry Lemonade tasted like a drink from a sidewalk lemonade stand. The Mango actually tasted like real tropical fruit. And, most impressively, we could actually identify the berries in the Berry flavor.

Guayakí makes yerba mate for every type of consumer. There's the unsweetened and earthy tereré for tea lovers. They have the sparkling cola-esque sippers, like Classic Gold. And they have inventive flavors like Bluephoria for those who want yerba mate's energy without the taste. We love Guayakí for both the taste and the variety.

What sets Oca apart from its competitors is the use of tapioca for energy. We're not exactly sure how much better it is than other types of caffeine, but we do know that their products taste really good. Oca is super refreshing, not too sweet, and only contains ingredients that we recognize.

Vuka uses cane sugar as its primary sweetener; in the realm of energy drinks, that's a good thing. You get the sweetness without the chemical aftertaste of sugar-free alternatives. Their flavors are super fresh, and the carbonation makes it perfectly refreshing. It tastes more like an artisanal soda than an energy drink.

The brand on everybody's lips right now is Celsius, and for good reason. They have two-dozen flavors to choose from. Although we advise steering away from any of their flavors that have the word "Vibe" in them, the other cans we tried are genuinely delicious.

4. Clean Cause

Clean Cause was our favorite yerba mate-based energy drink by a mile. It contains cane sugar and erythritol, so you get the best of both worlds: relatively low in calories without intense chemical flavors. They also had some of our favorite flavors of all the brands we tried. Pick up a Watermelon Mint and thank us later.

We love Guru primarily because they use real fruit juice concentrates as a sweetener for their energy drinks. Beyond tasting more natural than a sugar substitute, it helps their flavors actually taste as advertised. The Guru Original tastes like straight up grape soda in the best way possible.

2. Red Bull

The origins of Red Bull date back to 1960s Thailand , but it began achieving widespread popularity as an après ski drink in Austria in the late-'80s. As of 2020, it's the most popular energy drink in the world. Even though they've expanded their lineup of flavors, we love the original Red Bull because it's equally sweet and tart, perfectly carbonated, and just downright nostalgic.

We had never heard of Ardor before conducting this test, but sampling their energy drinks made us rethink the entire category. One of our tasters said it was the La Croix of energy drinks because there's no sugar or sugar substitutes. It's just sparkling water, subtle flavoring, electrolytes, and caffeine. Ardor is genuinely hydrating and refreshing, and we could easily see ourselves incorporating it into our beverage rotation.

According to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration , for most people, a moderate intake of 400 mg of caffeine per day (the amount found in about four or five cups of coffee) is the most they should consume. But some energy drinks contain more than that, and many are also laden with food colorings, additives and exorbitant amounts of added sugar .

Our top picks:

Best Stevia Energy Drink

Zevia zero calorie energy drink (12 pack).

Best Tasting Energy Drink

Zoa zero sugar energy drink (12 pack).

Best Energy Drink Tablets

Nuun energy tablets (4 pack).

Best Yerba Mate Energy Drink

If you’re looking for a healthier option, the experts in the Good Housekeeping Institute Nutrition Lab have compiled a list of some of the better energy drink picks that focus on low added sugar counts and prioritize natural sources of caffeine (as opposed to synthetic caffeine). Our nutrition experts say it’s important to check the caffeine content on the label so you can avoid more than 200 mg of caffeine per drink (the equivalent of two cups of coffee), especially if you are consuming other caffeinated beverages and foods during the day. You'll find that many options are also fortified with B vitamins, which may provide an additional natural boost.

You can read more about how we evaluate energy drinks in our Lab — including the difference between natural and synthetic caffeine — at the end of this guide. We also address which populations should avoid energy drinks and caffeine altogether.

Known for its stevia-based soda alternatives , Zevia has brought its sugar-free mentality to a line of tasty energy drinks. This Non-GMO Project –verified pick has 0 g of sugar and offers 120 mg of organic caffeine per can that is sourced from green tea leaves. Each tropical flavor is refreshing, and the sweetness comes from organic stevia leaf extract, which some may find has a bit of an aftertaste. Free from artificial colors and preservatives, this health-conscious pick is one of our top choices.

Created by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, this energy drink contains 160 mg of caffeine from all-natural sources like green tea extract, and it comes in a variety of flavors that were some of the best we sampled. The completely sugar-free choice has only 15 calories and packs in 250 mg of branched-chain amino acids. One can meets 100% of your daily vitamin C, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12 needs too. But take note that the beverage does contain the sugar substitute sucralose.

These dissolvable drink tablets deliver a powerful blend of organic green tea, ginseng, B vitamins and electrolytes for a quick energy boost. Just drop one tablet into 16 ounces of water, wait a few minutes for it to dissolve and then sip. There are 10 tablets in each container. With 80 mg of caffeine and 20 mg of adaptogens, each tablet gives fast-acting, sustained energy and focus and is available in a variety of great flavors. Most importantly, this pick has the Informed Choice checkmark, a quality assurance program meaning that the product has undergone rigorous checks and third-party testing.

Using yerba mate — a tea made from the naturally caffeinated leaves of the yerba mate tree — Clean Cause drinks add a nice kick with sparkling water, are sweetened with stevia leaf extract and have 160 mg of caffeine. Each can also has virtually zero calories but is sweetened with erythritol, which may cause some digestive issues. But 50 percent of the profits go to alcohol and drug addiction recovery programs, making it truly a clean cause.

Celsius has boomed in popularity over the past few years for its low sugar and 200 mg of caffeine, which is more than most energy drinks on the list . Each 12-ounce can has no added sugars and is sweetened with a blend of stevia and erythritol, and it also gives a boost with seven vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C and several B vitamins. In addition to 15 different flavor options, it also comes in portable powder options that mix with water for energy on the go. However, although the brand claims to help burn body fat, it should not be considered a miracle cure.

The minimalist, 12-ounce bottles are filled with 142 mg of natural caffeine from L-Theanine, panax ginseng root extract and angelica root extract. It’s sugar-free and is sweetened with stevia instead of sugar, but it doesn’t come off too sweet . Reviewers like the flavor options and that it isn’t too sweet, but do mention the metal container can be a bit hard to open.

This antioxidant-rich energy drink comes in at just 35 calories and 6 g of sugar but packs in 140% of your daily vitamin C needs. Our nutrition experts love the addition of antioxidant-rich acai berry and pomegranate and that this choice is USDA Organic. The 120 mg of caffeine come from green tea, yerba mate and guarana sources. The second ingredient is organic erythritol, a type of sugar alcohol that may contribute to digestive issues. The only other flavor on the low-calorie line is Blood Orange Acerola, and take note that the other flavors on the regular line have considerably more added sugar.

Complete with a dose of energizing B vitamins, this refreshing pick also boosts 100 mg of natural caffeine that comes from yerba mate leaves. The certified gluten-free option is certified vegan, too, and it's low in calories. Free from sucralose, this popular pick uses organic agave nectar and organic stevia leaf extract for the perfect amount of sweetness. It's available in only two flavors but serves almost as a multivitamin as it provides 100% of the daily value for most nutrients.

You'll find a hefty dose of 200 mg of caffeine, plus vitamins and minerals in each can of Alani Nu for only 15 calories. Our dietitians like that it has zero grams of sugar and is boosted with a variety of B vitamins including biotin. The sugar-free product gets its sweetness from erythritol and sucralose, the latter being an artificial sweetener that is 600 times sweeter than table sugar. But it comes in a wide assortment of 13 unique flavors like Cosmic Stardust and Hawaiian Shaved Ice.

Rowdy delivers 160 mg of caffeine from green tea per can and comes in a variety of flavors like Blue Raspberry, Strawberry Lemonade, Cherry Limeade and more. Most flavors come in at just 5 calories per can too. The sugar-free offering does utilize allulose, erythritol, monk fruit and stevia for sweetness, which may leave somewhat of an aftertaste. But the pick is free from artificial colors and flavors. You'll find L-theanine, vitamin C and a variety of other electrolytes and minerals in each can.

Remedy Kombucha Good Energy (12 Pack)

Kombucha meets energy drink in this fusion from Remedy that gets its boost from green coffee beans and ginseng to deliver 60 mg of caffeine per can . This USDA Organic pick features raw kombucha as the first ingredient and has a refreshing blackberry flavor. The brand claims to brew out all the sugar during the fermentation process, but the beverage still contains live cultures. Although it's low in calories and has zero sugar, it does use a bit of erythritol and stevia extract for sweetness, which some individuals may prefer to avoid.

How we evaluate energy drinks

Our registered dietitians evaluated over 30 different types of energy drinks , focusing on added sugar content, ingredient lists and caffeine sources.

We selected top picks with lower added-sugar counts and prioritized options with natural sources of caffeine as opposed to synthetic caffeine. We also kept all picks at or below 200 mg of caffeine. Even though these options are better-for-you alternatives, our pros say to still limit consumption to no more than one can per day.

Ultimately, energy drinks provide only a temporary burst of energy. For more sustained effects, our experts recommend prioritizing a balanced diet, adequate hydration and regular physical activity to optimize energy levels in the long-term.

What to look for when choosing an energy drink

Energy drinks are fairly inexpensive, so there isn't much of a risk buying one to see if you do in fact enjoy the flavor and consistency. But there are a few factors to consider when purchasing the right one for you and your preferences:

✔️ Caffeine source and level: You'll want to look to see what the source of caffeine is, whether it is synthetic or natural, and also how much caffeine the drink delivers. Be sure to check serving sizes, too, to make sure you're not getting more than you expect.

✔️ Flavor options: Many of these energy drinks offer variety packs, so our pros suggest trying those first before committing to one case of a single flavor.

✔️ Sugar counts: Most importantly, try to cap added sugar counts at 8 g (the equivalent of 2 tsp of sugar) per can, and do not mix energy drinks with alcohol. If an energy drink is zero-sugar or sugar-free, consider what sugar substitutes the drink is utilizing for sweetness. Some may have an aftertaste or cause digestive issues.

Who should avoid energy drinks?

Energy drinks are not recommended for children and adolescents and should be avoided by these individuals as per the CDC and the American Academy of Pediatrics . Adults with caffeine sensitivity should avoid the consumption of energy drinks as well.

Since high doses of caffeine may exacerbate cardiac conditions, individuals with a known history of heart disease should avoid energy drinks. Those who are pregnant and breastfeeding should limit energy drink usage as well.

What is the difference between natural and synthetic caffeine?

Natural and synthetic versions of caffeine are almost identical, chemically speaking. The natural variety is found in the leaves and seeds of many plants and shows up in coffee, tea and chocolate. Some companies add caffeine sourced from coffee or cacao beans or yerba mate leaves to their products.

The synthetic kind is made in a lab or pharmaceutical plant and is often added to beverages like soda and energy drinks to enhance the stimulant effects. There is nothing wrong with either version of caffeine, but typically products with synthetic caffeine contain a lot of other additives and sugar.

Discovering the Top Energy Drinks for Homework

Categories Best Energy Drinks

Homework is one of the requirements in school. While you may disagree, homework is important not just for practicing your knowledge, but also for improving yourself. However, we often get too many assignments where we don’t know what to do. To help you manage your assignments, energy drinks may just be what you need.

The question is, how exactly do energy drinks help you manage your homework?

When doing your homework, you need to maintain your focus and improve your mental capacity. Considering that, energy drinks are good beverages that help you with your homework as it comes with ingredients such as caffeine and sugar , which gives you the concentration you need for your homework.

To choose the best energy drinks for your homework, read on as I’ve prepared a guide for the things that you need to consider.

Let’s get started…

Table of Contents

Ways To Motivate Yourself To Do Your Homework

When doing your homework, there are some things that you can do to know what you should prioritize. It can help you feel motivated and perform better in your work. Here are things that can help you get the energy that you need in doing your homework:

Organize your things

Organizing your things can give you a pleasant vibe to do your homework. It can help you feel motivated. Aside from that, you can also know the things that you need to prioritize. So, before doing your homework, make it a habit to organize your things and workspace.

Energize yourself with Refreshing Drinks

When doing your homework, you need a power-up to boost and motivate yourself to finish your homework. Some common drinks would be coffee, tea, and, of course, energy drinks. Energy drinks give you a boost give you the energy to do your homework.

Take a Rest

Doing your homework is exhausting. It drains your energy, and there are times that you cannot focus on the tasks that you’re going to do. To get yourself together, taking a good rest is essential. It helps you get the energy that you need in doing your homework.

How Do Energy Drinks Help You With Your Homework?

Energy drinks are known for their energy-boosting ingredients that help you get the focus that you need for your assignment. It gives you energy in managing your body and keeps you on track with your activities. Aside from that, it helps you stay alert, and improve your concentration.

The goodness that you can get lies in its ingredients. Here are the key ingredients in energy drinks that help you get the energy in finishing your homework:

Caffeine  is a natural stimulant that’s commonly found in plants like coffee and tea. This ingredient was commonly used in foods and beverages. It helps you stay alert and focused for a specific time. It’s a power booster that assists you in doing your assignment.

Given the goodness that caffeine can bring, you still need to manage your consumption. Know that the FDA  recommends  a daily caffeine limit of not more than 400mg. Following this advice is important to get yourself together, and avoid potential  side effects , such as:

• High Blood Pressure
• Rapid heartbeat
• Nervousness
• Restlessness
• Dehydration

That said, if you’re caffeine sensitive, you might want to avoid strong energy drinks , and instead, go for energy drinks without caffeine .

Energy drinks have a refreshing taste because of sugar. Its sweetness improves your mood and gives you the energy that you needed for a specific time. Sugar indeed helps you manage your body, but having too much isn’t advisable.

For your guidance, the  AHA  advises a daily sugar limit of 25g for women and 36g for men. It’s important to manage your sugar intake to avoid experiencing  health  problems like:

• Cardiovascular diseases
• Weight gain
• High blood pressure

Keep your sugar in check to manage your body well, and avoid problems that might arise in the future. That said, if you’re health-conscious and would prefer to do without any sugar, check out my article on the best energy drinks with no sugar for some recommendations.

Vitamins and Amino Acids

Energy drinks are equipped with essential vitamins like B-vitamins and Vitamin C. It helps your body get the boost that you need and manage the overall function of your body. Aside from that, it helps you improve your mental capacity and boosts the overall functions of your nerves.

Are Drinking Energy Drinks Good For Homework?

Grabbing energy drinks as your partner in doing your homework helps you stay awake for a specific time. It improves your mental capacity and makes sure that you get the boost that you needed to finish your homework.

Aside from that, energy drink ingredients improve your memory, which will assist you in doing your homework. It helps you stay alert and absorb every information that you encounter. Considering all that, energy drinks can surely be one of your best partners in doing your homework.

That said, it’s still for the best if you manage your consumption. Having too many energy drinks a day can lead to negative side effects. Personally, I think having one or two servings is enough for you to finish all your homework without falling into crashes.

Do Energy Drinks Really Work?

Energy drinks are equipped with essential nutrients that give you a boost in every task that you’ll do. It can help you out, especially in staying motivated and focused on doing your homework.

Energy drinks enhance both your physical and mental capacity. Aside from that, it gives you a refreshing kick that keeps you awake for a specific time. With energy drinks, you’ll get the boost that your body needed.

Given the benefits, you still need to know your caffeine level. It means you need to assess your caffeine sensitivity. It will help you know your limitations, and keep track of your caffeine consumption. In my case, I always prefer energy drinks that only have 50mg of caffeine. It’s manageable and good enough for your body.

Should I drink Redbull before an exam?

It is not advisable to depend on Red Bull consumption as a stimulant when studying or working. Red Bull can also make you feel anxious and jittery and raise your heart rate and blood pressure. 

Although a noticeable effect of drinking Red Bull is an increase in energy and alertness, this caffeinated beverage has various impacts on the mind and body. 

Despite helping you stay awake and alert, Red Bull can cause some people headaches, nausea, and dizziness.

• Homemade Versus Brand Name Energy Drinks

Why make homemade energy drinks when you can easily buy them ? While convenience is always great, there is a price for it and it comes in the forms of sugar, artificial flavors, chemicals, food coloring, and preservatives. Most energy drinks from the supermarket contain at least two, while some even contain all five. Although honey and maple syrup both contain sugar, many store-bought energy drinks use (a LOT of) processed white sugar. If you can make it at home, chances are it’ll be the healthier option.

Popular Ingredients in Homemade Energy Drinks

Although some energy drinks aren’t spiked with crazy levels of caffeine, there are a lot of natural sources of energy that won’t cause your blood sugar to go through the roof. As you’ll notice with some of the recipes, there are a lot of common household ingredients that they all share. In particular, citrus and salt are at the top because they contain electrolytes, which are important for hydration and energy.

Arguably the most popular ingredient in homemade energy drinks, simply due to their versatility. Citrus fruits like lemon, lime, and oranges , are rich in electrolytes, vitamins, and antioxidants. They help retain hydration, which is especially important during any kind of exercise.

• Himalayan Salt

Salt seems like a cut-and-dry ingredient, but the type of salt does matter. Himalayan salt in particular is rich in sodium, but it also contains calcium and potassium that table salt doesn’t. That means Himalayan salt has three electrolytes instead of one, which will give your energy drink the boost it needs.

• Coconut Water

Coconut water on its own is a natural energy drink, chock full of electrolytes and minerals that can be beneficial to drink daily. It may have a unique taste that takes some getting used to, but it’s worth trying to add into your diet.

Bananas are potassium powerhouses, containing over 400mg of potassium per banana. Some energy drinks are simply protein shakes with electrolytes, which is sometimes all you need for a quick energy boost.

100% pure, raw honey is a natural sweetener that can add a touch of sweetness to your energy drinks. It’s rich in antioxidants and can help fight seasonal allergies, especially if it’s local honey. Since most of these recipes call for raw honey, it’s best to have a jar on hand as much as possible.

Energy Drink Consumption and College Students

Running Head: ENERGY DRINK 1

ENERGY DRINK 2

The Consumption of Energy Drink among College Students

Monique Iluonokhalumhe

Montclair State University

TheEnergy drinks energy drink and other products are used by many people especially those who work more than 8 hours a day and those that are forced to work through the night to keep them alive. College The college students have also adapted their behavior to keep them awake when they are working as well as in other activities such as training and sports (Kayantaş &1 Yilmaz, 2018). The problem with the behavior is that it has some health-related problems especially when they used for a long time (Kim & Anagondahalli, 2017). According to research, male college students are the highest consumer of energy drinks while women are the least users (Gallucci et al. 2017). The male mostly uses the energy drink mixed with alcohol to stimulate the partying mood. Other students use the energy drink to help them conquer sleep especially when they are studying (David et al. 2013). Therefore, all the group of students in colleges uses energy drink in one way or the other.

However, the use of energy drink by many students in colleges is not excessive, but the negative effect starts when the drink is mixed with alcohol or used during exercise. According to the survey, many students do not understand that consumption of energy drink has an adverse effect on their young life (Goţia & Gurban, 2013). Therefore, the first step in eliminating the problem should be to educate the student about the energy drink by conducting campaigns which they can participate in like a concert. Caffeine, on the other hand, is the most used stimulant especially in the morning by consuming coffee. More than 70% of college student consume coffee as the main beverage (Poulos & Pasch, 2015). The problem with the consumption of energy drink is that the students who adopt the behavior eventually overdo it which becomes a problem.

The consumption of energy drink vary depending on the activities of the college students. Research has been conducted to determine the population of students that are affected most by the problem of energy drink consumption. Another factor which is used to ensure data, in this case, is the prescriptions. For many years students are prescribed energy-related products to increase their body mechanism (Kayantaş &1 Yilmaz, 2018). The prescriptions become a problem where the college students misuse them. For example, if a college student has a friend who uses prescribed to such conditions they also are tempted to use the product to get hyped. Most of the male students who consume a lot of energy do it for athletic activities or sexual activities (Kim & Anagondahalli, 2017). Therefore, one of the adverse effects of overconsumption energy drinks is unwanted sexual behavior among college students.

The second effect of high consumption of energy drink is lack of sleep. When student party the whole semester and exams time come they sleep out late trying to catch up with the syllabus. Such situations can lead to over-consumption of energy drinks to keep them awake through the night. When students do not sleep, they get fatigue which makes it difficult to participate in class activities (Arriaa et al. 2017). The effect of not being active in class leads to poor performance. The lifestyle on campus is also a contributing factor to high consumption of energy drinks in colleges. For example, in college, the students are always in a hurry to move from one place to another. Many of them do not have a good eating habit where only a few of them eat their meals in a day (Goţia & Gurban, 2013). They go to a fast food stall and gets coffee and a snack for any meal. The eating habits have made the college students to consume a lot of coffee. Comment by Kyle Dodd: You do a good job going through each article and explaining them. Remember to add another paragraph or two for the final and then at the end of the intro should be a paragraph about your hypothesis and why it makes sense (based upon everything you just wrote) to conduct an experiment based on that hypothesis
