Question:

What do you guys think about Energy Drinks?(RedBulls, Monsters, and others)?

I used to drink them alot, up to (3) drinks a day. I recently cut back and only drink occasionaly, (3) times a week. What do you gus think about them, whats your favorite? This Energy Drink Phenomenon kinda surprised everbody, 7 years ago nobody knew what they were, and now you see them everywhere, they dominate what people drink. Everywhere you go theres an energy drink staring you in the face.


Answers: Most energy drinks nowadays are hogwash as the ingredients are just insane amounts of sugar and caffeine to keep you awake. It's quite dangerous nowadays especially if you have diabetes. Best advice is to carefully check the information on the drink you're taking.

Red Bull is one of the most well-known because of its Taurine in their drinks, which is said to contain amino-acids needed to boost energy. That would later be found in many other drinks.

I personally liked Lipovitan, a Japanese energy drink that contains fruit enzymes for flavor, vitamins, minerals, taurine, and ginseng extract for a full boost. However, as with all drinks, to make it effective, it must be dranked moderately. Too much of it will cause your body to adjust and be more resistant to the full effects of the energy drink. Or worse, get sick from it. Waste of money and calories. Gator Ade is better, or plain old water!! I personally love them because they give a taste that soda cannot. Also because they will wake me up when I need it most. I see it as an Alternative to coffee so I have it after lunch usually.... Most of them just make me crash or get tired. i love energy drinks :]
i don't really drink them that much either.
but my faves are full throttle and rockstar! Coffee supposedly stunts your growth and soda is just not healthy. Drinking drinks like gatorade or powerade are not healthy to drink frequently, especially not when playing sports. Tab I find is the best energy drink if you certainly must drink energy drinks. I also love em, and probably should cut back because usually if it is somthing i like then its probably not good for me. But my favorites are NOS and Monster (green).. Nothing but expensive sugar water and caffeine. I used to drink them occasionally but have long since quit. I liked Sobe the best and Rockstar as a close second. full throttle rox My take??? Just another fad..........my partner's son ordered me a JaegerBlast (Jaegermeister and Red Bull) and I downed it.........tasted like cough syrup from childhood.......thought I was gonna hurl........it was awful.......and they're expensive!!!

Christopher i think they are a waste of money. i dont ever feel more energetic. the one i used to get is the mountain dew one. i rarely get them anymore. maybe once in 3 months.
