I love them. There's so much variety in terms of the flavours that are available. My favourite is Monster Pacific Punch. It tastes like cherries. I drink energy drinks to help me focus when I'm reading. They help me a lot. Do you guys drink energy drinks?

I tried energy drinks such as Redbull and Monsters. Those energy drinks made my heart pumping really fast, I was scared to death. So nope, I can't do energy drinks at all. Coffee I can really do and it works for me. Same for Tea.

They do seem like a necessary evil ,tend to get them whenever it's convenient especially if you stay up as late i do on occasion ... 200 ‐ 400 mgs per session is sustainable

Never even tried any of them, but I suspect that I wouldn't like the taste.

I used to Love the AMP energy drinks but I really don't drink them anymore. Maybe a few a year because they are the equivalent to type 2 diabetes in a can.

I liked Orange Lucozade, but that's about it. Not even sure it counts.

No, I already have a lot of energy and I don't want all the sugar or other chemicals in there. If I want any energy from a drink I'll have some tea or coffee.

If there was a drink that would be a sedative I'd drink that.

I generally don't like artificial drinks so much.

Occasionally I will drink a coke if I have been playing football in a hot day, other than that I prefer sparkling water.

For energy drinks, I have only tried red bull and I hate the taste.

I drank it once or twice to get through situations in which I was exhausted, but it was more like getting medicine than enjoying a drink.

Red Bull is good. It's not my go soda though. And if I ever have it, only the smal cans, the 250mL ones.

I have tasted Red Bull and liked it, but I never made an habit of drinking it. If coffee doesn't count, then I say no I don't drink energy drinks.

I think the whole aura around them of them being unhealthy goes into me wanting to avoid them.

My brother used to drink Monster energy drinks in his 20's. Definitely gave him diabetes from all that sugar and crap. I tried the monster coffee and it made my head hurt. Never got addicted to those energy drinks like my brother though. Would rather drink coffee in the morning to wake up.

I only drink the zero sugar ones, I do have them often, almost one a day. The energy drinks with sugar give me the shakes and I get super hungry for carbs after drinking them so I stay away from those. I work a lot though, and do a lot of driving (long commutes) so I feel like I need them part way through the day just so I can be functional by the time I get home.

I don't drink energy drinks, but I like some that I've tried. Red Bull and Monster tastes ok. Rockstar tastes really freaking terrible. Like, surprisingly bad. Not sure how they are still around.

Once in a while I drink an energy drink. But it's not my thing.

it doesn't really help that much especially when you have a high tolerance for a equivalent of 6 cups of coffee , somehow I still manage to be tired during the day when I do get enough sleep ...always have to keep the adrenaline pumping
