Hi Slonda,
Depending on how often you take these drinks, the type and volume you consume. If you consume them often and regularly, say daily, then your body will gradually become tolerant to some extent. Nevertheless, the effect of chronic circulatory stimulation does have long term effects on blood pressure, kidneys etc, culminating in some damage. Whether this becomes clinically problematic will depend on other factors. Remember, these drinks can't be considered in isolation ; it is the interplay of risk factors, such as diet, lipid levels, smoking history, genetics etc that all play a role.
Again, I believe they have very little role in enhancing anything but risk.
