Energy Drinks: Yes or No?

If they are healthy : NO

If they taste good : Yes, specially Powerking

I like to drink a mixture of RedBull (other energy drinks are available) and vodka. Then I let the stimulant and depressant fight it out between themselves.MrCycleCancel

Didn't it make you a bad effect?

Only that one. :P

The point is, I really can't find the thing in the Red Bull that is unhealthy. Here are all the things in it:

~Water
~Sucrose - a two-part sugar made of glucose and fructose. Known as table sugar or white sugar, it is found naturally in sugar cane and in beets.
~Glucose - a simple sugar made by the body from carbohydrates in food.
~Sodium Citrate - sodium citrate helps maintain pH levels in soft drinks.
~Taurine - a colorless crystalline substance obtained from the bile of mammals (you are a mammal, you produce Taurine, it's natural dummy and no, you can not OD on it).
~Glucuronolactone - a naturally-occurring metabolite, a carbohydrate produced by the human metabolic system.
~Caffeine - Redbull contains only 80mg of caffeine, less then 1/3rd of the caffeine you'll find in a Starbucks coffee.
~Inositol - A sugar-like vitamin B-factor is involved in the metabolism of cholesterol & fats; vital for hair growth & aids in brain cell nutrition.
~Niacinamide - Another name for vitamin B3.
~Calcium Pantothenate - Another name for vitamin B5
~Pyridoxine HCL - Another name for vitamin B6
~Vitamin B12 - Vitamin necessary for normal metabolism of nerve tissues and is active in carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism.
~Artifical Flavors
~Colors

I think that they're kind of nasty in general. They taste bad and don't do much for me.

The only tolerable energy drink out there is Amp, if you ask me, and I hardly ever drink it.

I can't drink more then a few sips of a red bull it just doesn't taste that good.Avistann

Same here.

I prefer coffee.

That was my impression of someone jazzed on energy drinks overexaggerating on what he can do on them, and then crashing at the end.

Energy drinks?! NO! NEGATIVE! NADA!

There's a reason why they're outlawed in some countries. They are more or less poison for you. It's not even good, stable energy that it gives you. It's unnatural, highly temporary, and shaky energy. There's way too much sugar and caffeine in those things. If you want energy, here's a tip. Just start eating overall healthy and you'll have all the energy you need.

What do you think of energy drinks people? Do you find them good or bad. Take the poll and discuss :)ognen

i just drink coffee :|

Energy drinks and supplements are overrated. Solution: 8 hours of sleep.
