Caffeinated drinks: Caffeinated drinks may not stunt your growth but can cause other symptoms, such as hypertension.

Not really: At a listed age of 20 I suspect you have finished your linear growth. Caffeine or energy drinks you may have consumed along the way have less to do with your height than parental height.You are expected to grow to the average of both parents plus 2-3 inches.
