Opinion on Energy Drinks

Maybe.
I think they're ok if you don't drink them too often.
I drank one once and never again and that just bc I needed to finish a huge essay at 2am. So thx to energy drinks I nailed it

 

If I absolutely need one and am completely exhausted, sure I'll have one. Same thing with coffee. I would rather just tough it out.

Energy drinks are highly acidic and sugary, so they're bad for your tooth enamel and stomach lining, and they mess with your sleep pattern. If you need multiple ones every day to function, you might want to see a doctor.

 

No. Don't like the taste and the ones I've tried either don't work or make me sick.

I'll stick with coffee...

 

I use them often, as I have a hard time staying awake in class. I usually stick to red bull, specifically lime edition, if they have it. For some reason, caffeine doesn't usually have much effect on me, which why I often have to go with the stronger stuff like 5 Hour Energy. I know that energy drinks aren't especially good for you, but hey, they work.

Recently I've been working on my sleep schedule and getting six hours each night, but it's really tricky. And no matter how much sleep I get, the dull voice of my chem teacher just puts me in the perfect napping mood.

 

I have far too much energy and I bounce off walls as it is without them....I dread to think what I would be like if I drank any.

 

According to Stephen Fry on his QI XL program, coffee isn't actually a stimulant.
I'm gonna google it and find out.

By the way, I don't like the taste of most "energy" drinks.

 

Yeah. Or tea.

I think they're gross and they're not good for you.

At least, they've found coffee and tea have some redeeming qualities.

 

I love energy drinks but only drink them when I really need it or wanna waste my money. Cause they are expensive and if you overdo it you can get sick from it. But they are nice to have when having to get up early in the morning for something and I am not a morning person and alarms sometimes cannot even get me up. Mostly from being tired or because I have a hearing loss. So yeah I need energy drinks.

 

A definite no for me as they'd make me very sick.
The caffeine in a couple squares of dark chocolate are enough to make me feel horrible so nope, I'll just stick to tea.

 

I've only tasted one, and I didn't like it. I'm indifferent to them in general, don't know many people who drink them.

 

They don't give me any energy so I don't drink them. Also they taste like crap.

 

I've never tried one, but I really don't want to. One time, a kid in my school drank a giant monster energy drink (or maybe two?) and then his heart started beating really fast and he got all confused and had to go to the hospital!

 

I drink like 2-3 a day. Are they healthy? Absolutely not. But when you don't get much sleep, definitely come in handy

 

Monster Energy drinks are the only form of caffeine that have any affect on me. I can't drive more than three hours without one. They're the only things that get me home from college. So, I am very pro energy drink. Even though they are REALLY bad for you.

 

I've only had one energy drink before and that was a couple years ago. I got one of those Monster drinks and I liked the taste and all but I didn't really feel as hyper as the others even though I drank the entire can. My mom though doesn't want me to be drinking any energy drinks so when she found out she kind of freaked lol.

 

Well coffee isn't, its a drink! If you are referring to the caffeine in coffee then yes and no.

This quite recent study demonstrated that all coffee really does for regular drinkers who are dependent on the caffeine is raise their energy levels to an average performance level (the level that non-drinkers are like normally). The caffeine does provide an above-average boost for those who do not regularly drink coffee, however this isn't necessarily productive as the drug can cause jitteryness in those not used to it.

So if used regularly you are essentially lowering your energy levels on the whole, with caffeine acting to "boost" yourself back to normal every so often.

 

I drink energy drinks very often and I really like them. i know that they are really bad for you but there are other substances which are far worse soo. :3

 

arfff

long term effect of energy drinks can mess up my heart and kidney
so i'd rather avoid them
