Do you drink energy drinks?

Monster is good, but it's full of calories and sugar. They do more harm than good, and that's why I stay away from them. I've heard good things about 5 Hour Energy and Worx, though. I haven't had a chance to try them, but supposedly they only have a couple of calories and a low amount of sugar.

 

I got tired of the typical energy drinks like redbull & monster but I drink and love the tropical citrus flavored vitamin water. It has caffeine and guarana and has a really smooth and delicious taste. Just enough of a boost to get through the day!

 

The ones I've tried are just those that can be found in our gym which are offered for free in fitness first such as powerade and gatorade I don't think there's much difference to what I feel before and after drinking though. Maybe its just a psycho thing.

 

I do drink energy drinks on days when I feel so sluggish. My favorite is the Starbucks double shot espresso one. I love the taste and that it is super inexpensive. It has a coffee taste and half a can does the trick for me.

 

No, i drink water only.

 

I actually do drink energy drinks especially before I work out. I don't know if it really helps but I think I just used to doing that. If it does not really help my body, at least it helps my mind to push through some extra pounds.

 

The only thing that's stopping me from taking energy drinks is actually the flavor. I haven't encountered a single energy drink that I could actually stomach. I just go with either the typical coffee or maybe vitamins.

 

Nope, I don't drink them at all. I find them disgusting and many of them actually make me physically sick. I can't handle fake sweeteners because they make me throw up, ugh.

My mom drinks them constantly, though. She's one of those people who is addicted to them and can barely function without them.

 

I used to drink an energy called XS in high school - almost one a day! And in college, I was a frequent buyer of a variety of energy drinks (Monster, Red Bull) to use for energy and for mixers. Today, though? I don't think I ever need that surge of energy that comes with energy drinks. I'd rather just stick with water, tea, or coffee. Sometimes, a soda will work - but I feel like tea and coffee are better alternatives for me. When I really need energy, I stick with Red Bull because it works for me - but that rarely is necessary.

 

I've had a occasional Rockstar. My husband drinks them all the time. He's cut back thank goodness. I'm pretty sure they aren't good for you, and they're expensive. Two sips of one of those keeps me up for hours.

 

I don't drink them, they all taste too sweet to me, even the sugar free ones. They leave a strong aftertaste in my mouth that's hard to get out, and some of them would stain my lips and tongue. I don't like getting that speedy off of caffeine like that because beyond a certain point it starts making me scatterbrained and I can't focus on anything or get my work done, then I crash really hard later when I need to get stuff done at home.

 

I don't drink them at all. I had tried one and it made me sick after the second time I had one. That was it for me. I did notice a boost of energy when I had it, but for me it was too much. I guess my energy must not be that bad, I felt wired. It was not good. They just don't agree with me. Now if I need energy to wake up in the morning, I have a half of a cup of coffee. I can't have too much caffeine either as it also affects me negatively, so I will never go over my half a cup a day limit if I have coffee.

 

I'm a big-time coffee drinker, but I do have an occasional energy drink. I prefer either Red Bull (sugar free) or 5-hour Energy. I've found 5-Hour Energy to be better if I'm just looking for a little bump - more to sharpen my concentration than anything. I go to the Red Bull when I need to stay awake (long drives, etc.).

 

I have never had one and I will continue to stay away from them. I already consume too much sugar in my diet, so these drinks would do way more harm than good. I stick to water and the occasional 7 Up or ginger ale when I am feeling sick.

 

I used to, but I'm trying to cut back on them. I have a friend who drinks several monsters per day...he's probably gonna have a heart attack before he hits age 30.

 

I do not drink energy drinks. I am wary of them and I think they are potentially dangerous. I have tried a Monster drink, but didn't find anything special about it. I never really feel like I need an artifical energy boost though, so I don't really see the point.

 

I used to drink Redbull when I was still a student in Law School. That was to keep me awake for a longer period of time during the nights until around 2 in the morning so I can finish those thick books and get myself ready for class exams or recitations the following day. It really did a good job in keeping me awake. However, I stopped drinking energy drinks when I finished schooling. I now believe that they can be harmful to our health and they are also full of sugar and calories. Coffee though is still my favorite. But the bottled ones from the supermarket shelves, I stopped taking them.

 

Red Bull is basically sugar in water with food coloring - and it is disgusting, however I do take Red Bull infused alcoholic drinks. I like how the buzz lasts so much longer thereafter. Monster has not been cool with me since I got sick off one during a final for chemistry. I don't really deal with alot of other energy drinks and I think things like 5 Hour are scams that will eventually kill someone. So I stick with Powerade and Gatorade and coke.

 

I do drink energy drinks when I have so many school works to finish and I'm cramming already. I drink RedBull and Sting. Does Gatorade count as energy drink? I also drink Gatorade occasionally whenever I feel dehydrated.
