Answers:
Drink plenty of water first!. It is a natural energizer itself!. The caffeine will dehydrate you and when we are dehydrated we become tired!. If we offset the dehydrating effects of caffeine with water then that won't happen!.

Soda won't do that much!. It is as much or more sugar than energy drinks do but about half the caffeine!. Plus they have no other stimulants in them!.

Coffee is only caffeine and is not good enough!.

An energy drink with extra water is your best bet!. They not only have sugar for quick energy but when properly hydrated the caffeine, taurine, B vitamins and other stimulants will take over and you won't notice any decrease from the sugar rush!.

Besides the water caffeine also depletes our bodies of B vitamins and they are vital for energy!. At least energy drinks put most of them back in!. Soda and coffee have none to give!. That is another reason why an energy drink is better!.

I know what you mean though!. I have had many road trips of 6 - 10 hours!. Even when you are awake they are torture when you are by yourself!. Even having someone in the car sleeping most of the way is better than being by yourself on road trips!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

full throttle tastes really good, I like the orignal flavor the most, but the blue agave one is really good too!. If not try red bull!. Good luck on your trip and for your and others safety, please be very careful!. If you feel too tired try to find a resting area!. make sure to get enough sleep the night before and have a good breakfast so you can have enough natural energy!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

You are worried about driving for 6 hours!? You scare me!. Where are you going to be driving so I will know to not be on the same road!.

OK!. That was mean, I'm sorry!. I just don't think you should be on the road if you don't think you can handle it!. Energy drinks only make the situation worse - they will send you on a roller coaster of alertness!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Now this six hour drive is it after a big event or during the night!. If so I wouldn't suggest energy drinks, there comes a point where your body crashes, and they don't suggest you drink more than like two in a certain amount of time!. Pop in your favorite cd's load up on the sugar snacks and soda!. And enjoy the trip!. Take your cell phone with, i suggest using a hands free ear bud, most phones come standard with one!. Gab the drive away with one of your best gal pals, or catch up with all of them!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Apples are good for energy,I have had V energy drink in the past when I was feeling sluggish & had a huge day ahead of me!.It seemed to of helped,whether it was mind over matter or not!.
also,I suggest you play some of your favourite music that you like to dance to!.
Stop halfway through your journey & get some fresh air,have a walk around & do some stretches!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Listen, don't listen to the idiot who said drink every hour, one can is enough, because more than that can seriously harm you!. I suggest you take energy drink such as Jolt, or Nos!. Both are pretty good energy drink brands!. But only one can of the drink!. You'll be fine!. I work out, and these are the energy drinks I recommend!. hope I helped ^^Www@FoodAQ@Com

Get the proper amount of sleep before you go and you wont need to drink anything!. Because once and energy drink wears off then your in trouble!.!.!.!.and another thing is if you drink to many your body might get used to it and it probably wont work as well as if you would have only taken one as appossed to 2 or 3!.!.!.!.!

Be Careful sweetie I hope you have a safe trip!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well I had to take a 5 hour drive with no sleep the night before I left at 3am without no sleep and I drank the energy drink called red bull I drank two and only fell asleep once but I bought candy and lots of CD's to play and me loving life was a big encouragement to stay awake!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

ok well if you've never had an energy drink before don't go with monster or redbull too strong!. Full Throttle, or No Fear are more sweet and have a overall better taste!. The bottom line is if you've never tried them u most likely won't like them!. Go with Coffee and load musicWww@FoodAQ@Com

I don't like energy drinks!.!.!. too much sugar and forget about the crash!.

I swear by 5-Hour-Energy!. They work!. They don't make you more jittery, they just make you feel more alert!. Try it, you'll like it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

eat apples- they help you to stay awake!.
if you need an energy drink maybe try those little 'energy shots' they sell at stores like london drugs!. they say they are supposed to last from 6-8 hours (i've had them at work before and they seem to do the job)

drink a lot of water and listen to music you dint like!. the water will make you have to pee and the music will irritate you!. it will keep you from getting highway hypnosis!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I don't know about the energy drinks!.!.!. use coffee myself!.!.!. the biggest help is to stop every 90 minutes or so for fresh air!.!. potty call!.!. and turn you music up loud!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

energy drinks are not good for you!. forget them & get no doze @ the pharmacy!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
