So please, tell me why are these stuff bad?

Energy drinks by themselve don't really cause much harm as they merely give you a "kick" with the guarana/caffeine plus a sugar rush.When you mix it with alcohol,the results may be very different depending on the individual.
Alcohol is a depressant,which means it can delay the functions of the central nervous system,and energy drinks are stimulants.
Depressants: calm nerves,relax muscles cause confusion, lack of coordination, low blood pressure, and slowed heart rate and breathing.
Stimulants: increase alertness, attention, and energy, as well as elevate blood pressure and increase heart rate and respiration.
So you see,they're at opposite ends of the spectrum,somewhat like oil and water,don't mix.
Now,if the 2 are mixed can result in irregular heart beats as alcohol slows heart rate and energy drinks increase heart rate.
Like I said,depending on the individual,those that have weak or problems with their heart can be lethal.
And that's just an example.
Mix at your own risk I say.
