Hello,
The black stool are usually related to an hemorrhage in the upper gastro intestinal tract. The energy drinks itself does not cause the hemorrhage but they can trigger the symptoms. I suggest to do an endoscopy and consult you general physician for further examinations.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
