Energy drinks?? POLL

Hey guys, just thought id throw out a random OT poll about energy drinks. I have a feeling its an epidemic (at least in the USA) where guys of all ages are drinking Monsters, Rockstars, Redbulls, etc on a daily basis. In 40yrs will all of us have heart problems from overdosing on caffeine?

I dunno about you guys, but I think i'm addicted to Monster drinks (usually the 'lo-carb') but I try not to drink more than 1 a day. even with hardly any sugar, the caffeine and the other junk in them cant be good.

I have about zero a month

energy drinks are loaded with sugars

actually there are several that have no sugar or very little. those are the kind i usually drink.

Energy drinks are stupid. If you need energy, eat breakfast.bluezy

I eat breakfast and drink a coffee double shot to get me going every morning.

Zero. Even without sugar, those things are horrible for you, which why I quit soda too. Besides, green tea is the best source of caffiene for you, so if i needed an energy spike, I would drink that.Xx_CYC756_xX

Green tea? Says what source? I would think it was on par with coffee.

I had one of them a few days ago. They come in several different flavors but I got the regular kind. It was pretty good. The taste was very similar to those little bottles of Starbuck's coffee.

By best source, I mean drinking enough green tea to get x amount of energy would be healthier than drinking enough coffee to get x amount of energy.

Haha awesome I like those.

Funny you should mention energy drinks and the amount we consume...

It just so happens I have about 50 in my upstairs fridge, due to the fact that I'm studying for exams...

Oh to those who whinge about the sugar in them, most have exactly the same amount of sugar in them as coke or any of the other main soft drinks. Considering the serving sizes, your getting less calories from an energy drink compared to an average soft drink serving.

7+.. quite easily.Brainkiller05

I am guessing you are into late gaming? I know people that play CS or Wow sure drink tons of Monster, Redbull, or Rockstar. a few years ago i went to a Lan gaming center a friend worked (and played) at and they had Bawls. and man those kids pounded that stuff like crazy to stay up and play Counter Strike and other similar games.
