🇬🇧🇨🇳 energy drink - 能量饮料 : English Lesson

Meaning of "energy drink" ("能量饮料"), detailed definition, and a short video lesson below.

An energy drink is a cold, sweet drink that often has bubbles and lots of sugar and caffeine in it. Caffeine is a chemical that can make you feel more awake, jumpy, and full of energy for a little while. People sometimes drink energy drinks when they feel tired or want to stay up late, like to study or play games. But because they have so much sugar and caffeine, drinking too many can make your heart beat fast, make it hard to sleep, or give you a tummy ache, so they are not healthy for kids and should be avoided or only tasted with an adult’s permission.
