Energy drink, carbonated

Carbonated energy drinks are fizzy beverages, including branded and supermarket own-brand products. The figures described here are for drinks containing sugar, rather than sugar-free versions. They mainly provide carbohydrate in the form of sugars. Per 100g, they contain 178 kJ of energy, 11g of carbohydrate, all of which is sugar, and 0.15g of salt.

The sugar content is relevant for people monitoring their sugar or energy intake. Sugary drinks can contribute to tooth decay, and their acidity can also affect tooth enamel. Energy drinks often contain caffeine, which can affect sleep, but caffeine content is not included in the supplied data. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
