But if you have a high caffeine metabolism, you&rsquo;ll surely benefit from Coca-Cola Energy. However, its 39g of sugar not only exceeds the daily limit but can also affect the effectiveness of this drink.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read on to find out more about whether or not Coca-Cola

But if you&rsquo;re sensitive to caffeine, this drink can be <strong>too overpowering<\/strong> for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Personally, I only take around <strong>50mg to 100mg of caffeine<\/strong>. So, Coca-Cola Energy&rsquo;s caffeine content goes a little over my limit. Drinking too much caffeine makes me feel jittery and makes my heart palpitate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, the effects you&rsquo;ll feel from drinking Coca-Cola Energy will depend on your own body&rsquo;s physiological makeup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there&rsquo;s no harm in trying this drink out, I strongly advise you to control yourself to only <strong>one can a day<\/strong> as it contains an unhealthy amount of sugar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Long_Does_Coca-Cola_Energy_Drink_Last\"><\/span>How Long Does Coca-Cola Energy Drink Last?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A standard 12 fl.oz can of Coca-Cola Energy drink gives you an energy boost that&rsquo;ll last up to an hour at most.

A can of Coca-Cola Energy has 114mg of caffeine, so after five hours, there&rsquo;s still about 57mg of caffeine left in your body system.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For you to completely get rid of the caffeine, you&rsquo;ll need to wait for around 12 hours. So it&rsquo;s always a good idea to avoid drinking caffeinated beverages like Coca-Cola Energy at least six hours before your bedtime.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Coca-Cola_Energy_Drink_Side_Effects\"><\/span>Coca-Cola Energy Drink Side Effects<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The side effects of consuming Coca-Cola Energy drink mainly comes from its high sugar content.&nbsp;Though, its caffeine content can also be a problem for you if you have a low caffeine tolerance. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Coca-Cola Energy&rsquo;s 114mg worth of caffeine is way below the daily limit, it&rsquo;s still best to be careful since <strong>caffeine can also trigger numerous health concerns.<\/strong> Too much caffeine can disturb your sleeping patterns and cause<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/285194#benefits\">&nbsp;acid reflux.&nbsp;<\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But as long as you&rsquo;re aware of your own caffeine tolerance, it&rsquo;s unlikely you&rsquo;ll have any bad experience with its caffeine content. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Coca-Cola Energy&rsquo;s <strong>large amounts of sugar<\/strong> go beyond the recommended daily limit at 39g per can. It&rsquo;s safe to say that this is definitely not the healthiest drink out there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&rsquo;m sure you&rsquo;re already aware of the long-term effects of having a high sugar diet, but having one can of this drink also leaves you with nasty short-term effects, mainly <strong>hypoglycemia<\/strong> (<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/sugar-crash\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/sugar-crash\" target=\"_blank\">sugar crash<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you consume sugar excessively, the aftereffects will cause you to experience fatigue due to the <strong>sudden drop in your energy levels<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, Coca-Cola Energy contains HFCS, and experts consider added sugars as <strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.med.umich.edu\/1libr\/Mhealthy\/WhatAreEmptyCalories.pdf\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.med.umich.edu\/1libr\/Mhealthy\/WhatAreEmptyCalories.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">empty calories<\/a><\/strong> because they don&rsquo;t add any nutritional value to your diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overconsuming these calories will eventually lead you to <strong>obesity<\/strong> and may also cause you to feel tired and restless since these sugars are processed differently compared to natural sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think it&rsquo;s crucial to consider these potential side effects before settling on a sugary energy drink like Coca-Cola Energy. If I were you, I would opt for other energy drinks instead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Many_Cans_Of_Coca-Cola_Energy_Can_I_Drink_a_Day\"><\/span>How Many Cans Of Coca-Cola Energy Can I Drink a Day?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>While a 12 fl.oz can of Coca-Cola Energy contains a moderate amount of caffeine, it also comes with a punching 39g of sugar. Thus, I highly advise you to stick to only one can of this drink per day.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This energy drink <strong>goes beyond the maximum sugar limit <\/strong>a person can consume daily, which is quite concerning.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned earlier, overconsumption of sugar can lead to different <strong>health risks<\/strong> later on. So I wouldn&rsquo;t want you to risk it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if you still insist on drinking it, I strongly advise you to have Coca-Cola Energy occasionally and limit yourself to just one can. It&rsquo;s also a good idea to <strong>consult your health specialist<\/strong> to see how this drink can affect your regular diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Words\"><\/span>Final Words<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Coca-Cola Energy does a pretty good job for an energy drink considering that it has a healthy amount of caffeine, which is almost suitable for all ranges of caffeine metabolism.

The 39g of sugar present in one can alone already makes it not suitable for you to consume it regularly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, I highly recommend you going for energy drinks with low sugar content or completely zero sugar for the sake of your health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_Articles\"><\/span>Other Articles<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/coca-cola-energy-drink-nutrition-facts\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/coca-cola-energy-drink-nutrition-facts\/\">Coca-Cola Energy Drink Nutrition Facts<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/how-many-coca-cola-energy-can-i-drink-in-a-day\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/how-many-coca-cola-energy-can-i-drink-in-a-day\/\">How Many Coca-Cola Energy Drinks Can I Have a Day?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/coca-cola-energy-drink-caffeine-and-ingredients\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/coca-cola-energy-drink-caffeine-and-ingredients\/\">Coca-Cola Energy Drink Caffeine and Ingredients<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/is-coca-cola-energy-bad-for-you\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/is-coca-cola-energy-bad-for-you\/\">Is Coca-Cola Energy Bad For You?<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Coca-Cola Energy drink comes in a standard 12 fl.oz can that contains 114mg of caffeine, 39g of sugar and 140 calories.
