What makes you think that energy drinks take power from a person to feed devils? What are you basing your opinion on?
 
even though I don't like or drink energy drinks, I don't view them as 'evil', they're just not good for your health (sugar, chemicals, etc),

how I would handle this ... first, I would not condemn my daughter for drinking it (if she even drank it all, we don't know the whole story),
I would try to find out, in a nice, non-confrontational, non-condemning way, why she think she needs to drink - there could be a good reason (need the energy to study for a test, she wants to do well on her test because she wants you to be proud of her, etc).

I would not be 'preachy' at her, telling her all the evils of energy drink ... but rather go the other route, telling her how beautiful she is and how her body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and we need to take care of it.

If she can see how precious and valuable she is, she would not want to let poison enter her body.

All the best in handling this situation, I pray that the Holy Spirit will guide you and give you the grace, wisdom and discernment in dealing with this issue.
