yea.. those things are really bad for your health... they take too long to process by your liver, just have to drink lots of water..

netx time, have something for breakfast first.... and then the drink,, also monster is huge, i think red bull is the correct size.

Its not the creatine that makes you crash its the caffiene, it wakes you up for a little while and then fades away.

A red bull only has 80mg of caffiene per 8.3oz.I dont know how long 80mg of caffiene will get you but the my weight loss supplements have 200mg of caffiene per pop which i take 3 times a day,It keeps me going for sure.(200mg lasts me about 3 - 4 hours)

Energy
drinks are so way past my tie its rediculous, i used to think i was cool taking a monster into school or something, but once i realized the real facts its nothing but a high sugar and high carb soda.Which if you dont work off, you get FAT.

If you want energy and alertness. Look into EC stack, both the ephedra and caffiene are stimulants and not dangerous at all if taken correctly.

ENERGY DRINKS ARE A WASTE OF MONEY AND A WELL BEING.

I had the blue one yesterday and I was fine. It was 2 for 3 bucks at royal farms, or $2.50 for just one, so I got a red one and a blue one. Im feeling slightly better, my back started hurting so bad I couldnt breathe deep.

Full throttle is easily the best... i had all monsters and rockstar... they are too sweet.http://www.amonline.com/article/photos/1112722535745_lg_full_throttle.jpg

i dont like blue demon as well tho.. still to sweet. monster is my second favorite mostly because they support motocross.

Anyone tried the original redbull.. not the can one but the one that comes in a little glass bottle thats about half the size of the redbull can..

actually I used to drink Red bull about 1 a day for over a year and at the time didn't feel any affects until I drank a "Red Beast" (knock-off red bull) that was being handed out at a local high school game for free. I came home and had some sort of attack similar to a caffiene overdose witch left me having a hard time breathing, getting hot and cold, and shaking lasting about 30 minutes. I went to the hospital and eventually calmed down but they thought I was doing drugs lol.

Stupidly, I've gone back to drinking them but my choice is amp or full throttle now.

Dude, I don't think thats from a couple of energy drinks over a couple of days. You got more serious problems.

The only thing these energy drinks are doing , is causing a generation of kids to have future liver problems among other things.

If you honestly need to have more energy , it's time to look at the way you eat and change your diet. Fast food and other crap junk food put a drain on your system. If you eat healthy ( well balanced diet of fruit , veggies , meats , dairy products and grains) you'll have 100% more energy.... GUARANTEED !!!!!

I don't know about you guys, but there isn't anything like coffee in the morning... I'll have an energy drink every once and a while before I go out for the night, but I don't buy them too often. When I do though, Monster is drink of choice, they taste great and are a main sponsor of our local series.

Neither is Cirrhosis of the Liver from what I've seen .

But hey ... if you want to take that chance , giver . Just know that there are 17 000 people ahead of you that will receive a transplant ( or die) before they get to your name on the list. And usually by the time you find out that you need a transplant , your life expectancy has been cut back to about 1-4 years. :ermm:

I know , I was just throwing a few facts out there for people to realize that it ain't much of a joke when it happens to you.

I used to eat fast food about 5 days out of the week ( McDs , Wendy's , Taco Bell ,etc) and used to eat a lot of deep fried foods. I stopped it all about 2 years ago , and it's amazing how much better I feel and the amount of energy that I gained .

I was watching a health study on the news the other day , and they said that someone that eats a healthy breakfast in the morning , will have more energy throughout the day than someone that drinks 3 large cups of coffee instead of eating breakfast.

I agree too. I have only had 1 sip of an energy drink and it was terrible tasting. I cannot beleive people spend 2-3 dollars for a can of it!!! If you just eat healthy you will be so much better feeling!!

I stopped at page 3 so sorry if its been said

that energy drink cocaine was forced off the shelfs and they put it back as censored...
