Potential Impact on Learning Although there is debate regarding the overall risks and benefits of energy drink and moderate caffeine consumption, health researchers agree that caffeine consumption can have adverse health consequences, particularly at high doses.

All of the side effects can have a negative impact on students’ learning. Students can become distracted, irritable, and tired, all causing students to lose interest in and/or not fully understand classroom tasks.
