Caffeine

I’ve noticed when I drink energy drinks or any type of caffeine I need to pee a lot more often and a lot more comes out, is there something wrong with me or is it normal?

It's normal. Caffeine is a diuretic, which means it causes your body to make urine quicker, which will fill your bladder sooner. See this page for further information.

It is normal. You need to drink more water if you consume caffeine to avoid dehydration

it's a diuretic and also a bladder irritant, so yes.
