    I have never drunk an "energy" drink. I will never drink and 'energy' drink.

    I have therefore never been sick or had any /other/ side effects from doing so.

    I'm old enough to know that energy from a drink is pipe dream waiting to crash and thus why I have never had an 'energy' drink.

    I do drink caffeinated soft drinks but do not do so for any 'energy' related reasons.

    1 - A

    2 - E

    3 - I drink sugar free energy drinks, and only drink 4-5 per month.  The crashes are not that bad with the sugar free versions.  You do get the yawns and feel a bit lethargic if you drink one too early in the day.  Usually an afternoon drink to get me through the rest of the day.

    4- 31

    I frimly believe that drinking too much sugary energy drinks is very, very bad for you.  I also think that we will see an increase in Type 1 & 2 diabetes because of it.  Some of the cans are huge, and the amount of sugar is staggering.  I strongly recommend not drinking the sugar stuff, and for god's sake, don't mix it with achohol.  Thats just stupid drinking an upper and a downer at the same time.

    Energy drinks are generally a load of crap, but I'm a lazy git who needs to wake up earlier for uni and I'm also like a zombie in the morning who needs caffeine to start the day.

    We're all Geniuses. Most of us just don't know it.

    ya the sugar in those things is bad, but you know whats worse?  Sodium.  The next time you pop open a canned energy drink, just check the sodium content if you want a real eye opener.  Some have upwards to 350mg of sodium.  Some are relatively safe as far as sodium goes, but just be careful to avoid the high sodium energy drinks.  That stuff will kill you.   Normal sodium intake is about 500mg a day, never to exceed 2400mg

    Theres also the serving size trick on some of these cans.  So pay attention to how the serving size is broken down.  Some cans have 2 or more servings.  Take Monster Energy for instance.  8 ounce serving yeilds 176mg of sodium.  One can has 2 servings so double everything you read on the nutrition section.

    I have drank one energy drink in my life and I haven't touched the urinal brewed stuff since.      A better energy drink is whole milk with chocolate.

    I drink coffee, lots of coffee.

    All of those energy drinks are nuclear horse piss.  Don't drink them because all you're putting into your body is a shit load of sugar, caffeene and taurene.

    Just get some sleep and drink chocolate milk like Teala said.

    Oh and I don't drink the energy drinks, so I've never felt sick.  I rarely drink coffee so that should give you some idea.

    No required quests! And if I decide I want to be an assassin-cartographer-dancer-pastry chef who lives only to stalk and kill interior decorators, then that's who I want to be, even if it takes me four years to max all the skills and everyone else thinks I'm freaking nuts. -Madimorga-

    Depends on what drink,  yes I'm one of those nerds that actually look up the individual drinks to see if I want to drink them.

     

    The ones with high B vitamins and lower caffine are the only ones I drink.  Not the concentrated sweet coffee syrup in a can ones.

    I'll drink one if I am going to be doing one of those fun 14 hour work days, makes me have to go No. 1 a lot less than a comprable amount of coffee.

    Don't ever feel sick.  I don't over-do it, and I stick with sugar free because I like my teeth.  Mixing them with alcohol can be fun and you can stay at the bar longer, but it is easy to over-do it and then be nice and sick the following day.

    I took a sip from one of these energy drinks once. It tastes like carbonated sweet piss. I'll never touch another one in my life.

    People who have to create conspiracy and hate threads to further a cause lacks in intellectual comprehension of diversity.

  • HazmalHazmal Member CommonPosts: 1,013

    Evidently a lot of people know what urine tastes like.  I guess I'm in the minority (those that have not tasted their own lemonade or another's).
