Bebidas energéticas: é pecado no judaísmo?

Judaism has perhaps the cleanest formulation of the health-stewardship duty: Maimonides opens his ethical code with the body — 'maintaining a healthy and sound body is among the ways of God... one cannot understand or know anything of the knowledge of his Creator when ill' (Hilchot De'ot 4:1). Health is not a private hobby; it is infrastructure for serving. Energy drinks, with their caffeine-and-sugar loads, get the standard modern-poskim treatment applied to any consumable: permitted (kashrut is trivially satisfied — no grape juice issues in most, certifiers do certify), governed by the body-guard duty (Deuteronomy 4:9), and constrained by evidence: cardiac warnings and adolescent misuse move the counsel from shrug to caution. The Jewish tradition also contributes the rest-analysis: Shabbat is a weekly institutional surrender — no productivity, no stimulation-as-work-fuel — and a life that requires chemical assistance to survive its schedule has a schedule problem the rabbis would name before they named the drink. The practical halakhic counsel: moderate use for adults is fine, teen overuse draws active parental duty ('teach a child according to his way' includes health), and dependence gets treated like any dependence — with structure and help.
