Abstract
<jats:p>In recent years, the consumption of energy drinks among students has shown a worrying increase, leading to significant consequences for both health and the school environment. This article presents an interdisciplinary analysis of the chemical composition and biological effects of energy drinks, their impact on adolescent health and behavior, and the potential of this topic to serve as a platform for implementing pedagogical innovations. The study is based on three years of pedagogical observation and school practice carried out under my supervision within the clubs “Young Researcher,” “The Taste of Health,” and “Health Code” at the Vocational High School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering – Burgas. The paper outlines opportunities for integrating the topic into the curriculum of natural sciences, information technology, and civic education through project-based and interdisciplinary learning. The results demonstrate that the topic of energy drinks holds considerable potential for fostering health literacy, critical thinking, and conscious consumer behavior among students.</jats:p>
