Energy Drinks - Who uses em?

I've tried a couple of energy drinks, but they just don't do anything for me. If I need some energy, I just take some sugar. I don't eat candy for taste, but if I get some reese's cups or a few Twix's in me, I'm good to go all night long. It's like when eat sugar, my body won't store the energy, it just burns it as fast as it can.

A bud gave me one of those giant pixie stix once, the 3 foot long tubes.... I swear I was high as a kite for a couple of hours.

Back to energy drinks: Has there been any side effects to drinking them on a regular basis. I mean, drinking anything that has 2000% of daily recommended something or another can't be good for you.

Most energy drinks have Taurine which is something good for you. This nutrient prevents the nerve cells from firing erratically and is beneficial to the eyes, heart, and brain.

I don't know about a regular basis, but this retard drank 11 straight cans of Red Bull and had to get his stomach pumped.

I drank a can once a few years ago when they were first marketing them. Wasn't anything special, finished most of it and left maybe a quarter left before trashing it. Never had another one since.

Eleven?!? :eek: Fuck. That amount of Red Bull definitely cannot be good. Just how much caffeine is in a can? Eighty milligrams, so we're talking 880 mg. there. Keeping in mind that this guy is 4'11" and 100 lbs., this math is pretty ugly.

Now here is another one about Red Bull- an Irish basketball player shared four cans of RB with friends before a game and eventually died. France and Denmark have banned it. The EU will require a high caffeine content warning on the product.

Wondering if the opinions on these have changed...

Once in a while I'll drink an MDX or Starbucks double shot, but not regularly. I drank a Monster Assault before, and it tasted like 1 part water, 3 parts baby powder.

monster Assault isnt very good.

I buy cases of the regular Monster with the green label from Costco. Drink one every morning.

I used to buy Bawls, Tried just about every enegry drink in a can over the past few years (even the nasty sugar free versions), Monster just tastes the best for me

I drink em in the morning at work. Not so much for the energy, I actually like the sour taste. Rush!, Monster, Lost Energy, Red Bull, Whoop Ass, Bookoo, MDX, Rockstar, Full Throttle. Theyre all good.

Everytime I go out I start the night with a Red Bull and vodka to keep me going. I'll also drink a few on long road trips. I once drove from Baltimore to Ft. Walton FL straight on nothing but red bulls. Other than that I won't drink it or anything with caffeine because I'm afraid I'll develop a tolerance for it and it won't have the same effect.

Monster Lo-Carb for breakfast, lunch, & dinner for me.
