Energy drinks ?

TGIF gamers ! it's about time Friday came along. I purchased a energy drink and will try it later on. I am new to energy drinks and wondering if they really work ? Do you guys take them and do they work ? Describe your experience, do they make a difference ? It's suppose to be stronger then coffee.

Don't drink one without eating first. It feels like it's eating your stomach. Also, really the only thing they do is make you jittery. To me, they make me really uncomfortable. Also again, it doesn't really matter which kind you drink, they all really taste the same.

ehh kind of. there's more effective ways of giving yourself energy

Its the same experience as coffee. Your heart rate will be elevated and you'll be jittery.

If you're going to drink and energy drink, drink Bawls. It does the same jittery crap all the others do, but it tastes good...:3

ones gonna barley do anything to you, you need a good few to get a good buzz going. I'm being forced to cut back on em though, my doctor said there interfering with my sleeping meds..... she said nothing about alcohol though :twisted:

I love Red Bull. They do give you a really unique kick at first, but after a while, like all drugs, the effects get weaker.AirGuitarist87

Well, depends how much you're drinking. One cup for me is fine.

I tried Rockstar energy drinks once. I did not like it. It's has a sickeningly sweet taste, and the after-taste is worse than diet-soda's.

so much sugar...... just get a good nights sleep

depends on what you drink, some works fine, but dont expect a miracle, some does not really work, and some are just plain bad for you.

I do think they require you to eat before drinking them tho, the way most of them works, is releasing certain chems into your system, some of them (like coffeine) you get resistant to fairly fast but others (like magnesium salts) works pretty well, requires some substance in the stomache to work well tho.

Then there is gaurana (spelling?) which is a substance somewhat like coffeine but slightly more powerful, and takes longer to get out of your system (the mody will neutralice it in 2-5 hours)

then ofcourse there is sugar in some of them, which is not really a natural-pick-me-upper, it will not do wonders.

If you can find them, there are some energy drinks, made from healthier substances, lige veggeis, tastes horrible tho :s

A good one i'd recommend are xenergy energy drinks b/c i feel they give you a good boost and are sugar free.

I want to try some Imulsion :P.

They cause more harm than good... and what is the point of the energy when it is going to give you a crash? Try eating healthy and working out instead.CptJSparrow

Too much sugar...And it does'nt work anyway. You just get this nausea afterwards:?

They do work, at first.MrPraline

They are terrible, loads of sugar and caffeine.3aNkabot

Yeah they work at tasting great. My favorites are Red Bull, Full Throttle, Amp and Bawls.

I second that..besides sleeping is more fun too..well maybethats just me :P

I don't think they work and probably end up doing more damage than good with that amount of sugar.ace-of-spades93

I drank the 5-hour energy shot once. i had the liquid poo poo for a week and could not get off the toilet and bed. It was one of the worse reactions i have ever had. Funny, since i drink red bull, full throttle, etc... all the time.

anyone know what might of happened?

pop it open and add some vodka to it. then it works wonders. perphekt

Im actually gonna try that. I usually just take shots of V. though.
