No, not usually.
Soda tends to be about 30mg of caffeine per serving, a cup of coffee or tea is between 60 and 120mg, and energy drinks are generally 140 to 200mg, though some energy drinks like Bang have up to 300mg of caffeine per can.
Personal anecdote:
For me coffee has a laxative effect which I don't get to the same degree when drinking strong tea or energy drinks with very high caffeine levels.
- WorldMaker 3y agoAlso, while some energy drinks are associated with laxative effects, it is often attributed to other supplements, such as taurine. (Red Bull even briefly had a laxative warning for some time because of its high dose of taurine, before the FDA refined the guidance on that as taurine is not universally a laxative, just some people are more affected by it than others.)
