I am in college, so I HAVE to have energy drinks on certain days, and while the original AMP is my favorite, they best thing they have on campus is Nos...Nos is pretty good too. These drinks can indeed be bad for your heart because of the amount of caffine in them. Like all things, moderation is key, so don't let your diet consist of only energy drinks. When I used to get really bad headaches I would drink a can of AMP and the caffine in them (the active ingredient in most headache pills) helped the headache go way.
