Can you tell me what the adverse effects are that come with drinking a lot of "Monster?"?

Any energy drinks, but specifically Monster.

Particularly if you are drinking more than what is recommended for “responsible consumption” marked on the can.

The long-term effects of energy drink ingredients are that you may be addicted of this drink & addiction of any thing is harmful.
In these types of drinks it has not been mention any where that whether any medical conditions or related prescription medication will react with them.
Energy drinks must be taken properly because the ingredients used in it are powerful enough to affect your system & body.
Ingredients used in these drinks can affect your heartbeat and blood pressure. This arouses awareness from medical specialists who have conducted studies about the effects of energy drinks.
However it doesn’t means that harmful effects of these types of drinks can’t be prevented. The problem is only how to drink & in what amount that can be easily digested.
Don’t ever try to make energy drink an alternative for the lost water in the system while doing exercise because the caffeine in the energy drink can leave a dehydrating effect on your body. You should prefer to have something natural during exercises.
The most important point is that you should never combine energy drinks with alcohol because energy drink is a stimulant while alcohol is a depressant. You can imagine yourself the contrasting effect that this combination can bring in your system.
