Rewrite the following paragraph (in blue) so that it has a clear topic sentence, coherent transitions, correct grammar, concise phrasing, and consistent citation format. In particular, try to eliminate all "to be" verbs (am, is, are, was, were, being, been, be), and rephrase using strong, descriptive, active verbs. Do NOT just change a few words; rewrite it so that it sounds professional and concise. Try to cut the word count (260) in half. "Energy Drinks are able to be consumed in many varied and different ways by people all over the world. Moreover, drinking these energy drinks is able to provide people in today's society with the helpful benefits of increased awareness and energy. Besides, even though there are enhancements that may be present from drinking an energy drink, the negative side effects are posing more of a threat to a person than the energy boost that is able to be achieved. In a survey that was taken in the United States at an American university, it was reported that fifty one percent of participants were consuming greater than three energy drinks each month in the semester [1]. Looking at this statistic, it can be seen that a majority of students in university are drinking energy a large amount of drinks on a very regular basis. Which can be the cause of some health problems experienced by students. In the same study, it was also shown that energy drinks are capable of helping to increase energy and athletic endurance; for those who drank it. Despite the fact that there are some benefits to be had from drinking energy drinks, there is the problem of the negative side affects that are caused by the drinking of these energy drinks. However, the side affects that were commonly reported in the study are: headaches, and "energy crashes" (Smith 5). Being a potentially more severe problem than the minor problems of headaches and "crashes;" there is definitely the possibility of people which are becoming addicted to caffeine."
