I open my day with a 5 hour energy, then have an espresso shooter to follow it up. 5 minutes later I'll have a cup of coffee... then I'll drink 5 or 6 Monsters throughout the day... before bed I have a caffeine free 5 hour energy to help me sleep for the next 5 hours.

Bullsh1t. I had a serious addiction to monsters and 5hrs at the same time for a while. It wasn't unusual for me to drink two 5hrs and three "battery" monsters throughout the day. Your body just gets used to it.

Gross. I think I have drank 2 or 3 of those drinks in my lifetime. Once was in grad school and once was a 4 Loko just to taste it.
I have a tea in the morning and I am good to go. Back when I used to go out late and then have to get up in the morning I would get a coffee from Starbucks, but I don't do that anymore.

1) Taste. Not everyone likes coffee and a lot of these are flavored like citrus/fruit/pop/other mainstream beverages.

2a) Vitamins are different than caffeine. A lot of the "5 Hour" types are just stuffed with B vitamins. It's some ungodly number like 8000% of your daily dose. The jury is still out on what this does to your kidneys.

2b) If you're referring to "Red Bull" and the like, ya, it's pretty much sugar and caffeine with a touch of "interesting" things like taurine and ginseng. Some people claim it works, some are just following a trend and having a placebo effect. It's definitely a huge market though.

I cant stand the smell of most energy drinks, so i've never even tasted one. Im tempted to try a 5 hour energy if i really need one, but to be honest if i need energy, coffee does it for me every time.

I'd like to try one of those pre-workout things but I have just started adding energy bars (like from the health food store) and almonds. I don't like eating chemicals and stuff. Although I don't know what is in those powder things.

I've tried jack3d before. It was great. Did a 3 hour workout(swim, run, rowing, paddling) and felt awesome through the whole thing. Makes you tingly too.


Haven't bought any myself though.

the thing in the powder mixes for preworks recently that really makes the biggest difference is dimethylamylamine. might as well be a legal version of speed just without the addictive quality. it makes things like 5 hour energy seem totally weak in comparison.


edit

jacked3d does have the dimethylamylamine in it, so thats why it worked so well. the tingly sensation was the beta alanine.

Here's an newcomer in the caffeine drug market. Apparently, one can inhale enough of these in 30 seconds to equal 12 cups of coffee and then you can drink an obscene amount of alcohol and still be conscious.

I think a great number of them can cause heart damage as well. If too many are consumed.

alot of them raise blood pressure and heart rate while acting as vasoconstrictors. so yes, they can be dangerous if used too frequently. i only use the heavy duty stuff like the preworkout i mentioned earlier three times a week and at low dose levels. anything can be dangerous if used improperly. its like vitamin pills. take one a day and its good for you. take 5 a day and your going to screw your body up.

i remember standing in line at walmart one day. this mother was taking her two kids food shopping for there college dorm. the kids put a 24 pack of redbull in the cart. at the checkout the mother saw the redbull ring up. she flipped on them and they flipped back saying they needed stuff to stay awake...she stood her ground and did not buy it

these kids looked like the type that were going to use it for drinking and everyday activities...not to study

also to note energy drinks are bad on the teeth

I drink a mason jar full of strong coffee every morning, and a 24 oz blue (low carbs) monster almost every afternoon.

You should buy the Monster in bulk... Much cheaper.

I buy them by the case from COSCO, I keep them at home and at work.

I only buy them single on the road when I am doing my motorcycle touring.

My wife and I don't drink energy drinks of any type, nor do we drink coffee. She tried one of those drinks that was later banned to anyone under 18 (came out about 5 years ago, can't remember the name) when a co-worker brought one in, and got so jittery it freaked her out.

We'll have a Mt Dew or Barq's Root Beer (it's the only one that has caffeine I believe) now and then, and you'd think with our vampire/graveyard schedule we'd be hopelessly addicted.

Those things gross me out, I can't stand the smell.

The 5 hour energy ones aren't bad, but I feel like why pay $2.50 when I could just make coffee instead?

It always used to be a Mt Dew or some kind of soda in the morning. I prefer the pep i get for my day with energy drinks more.

After the one I drink when waking up...it's pretty much nothing but water all day long. it's so dry here I just got into the habit of drinking tons of water at work/home.

That is a very true comment, I have it bad, I can't sleep for more than 3 hours at a time without waking up.

I'd like to try one of those pre-workout things but I have just started adding energy bars (like from the health food store) and almonds. I don't like eating chemicals and stuff. Although I don't know what is in those powder things.



I've tried jack3d before. It was great. Did a 3 hour workout(swim, run, rowing, paddling) and felt awesome through the whole thing. Makes you tingly too.


Haven't bought any myself though.



It is really intense. I use something called Assault now, jack3d always some reason got too humid inside and it all got really hard and unusable. Gotta stir it everyday I guess

Assault works awesome though

dude that stuff is caffeine + random amounts of other things that probably don't make a difference in those dosages

caffiene pills are way cheaper.

i get it from Nutrishop. although the few nutrishops around here dropped from the company and renamed themselves Total Nutrition last month because the owners of the nutrishop label decided to cut out some products and focus more strongly on others they got kickbacks from. so our local stores owner dropped from the nutrishop label so he could carry a wider variety of supplements. so i'm not sure if regular nutrishops will still carry it or not. mine did before they dropped from the company so most likely they will but its hard to say, i have no idea which supplements the company was planning to drop that made them decide to go independent.

i did find it here when i googled it - http://www.pointblanknutrition.com/core-active-g-speed-watermelon-60-servings-4930.html

but its a little more expensive and you'd have to pay shipping. worth the money though considering how well it works. the only thing i don't like is it has splenda in it which i'm sensitive to but the serving size is so small that so far it hasn't bothered me.

energy drinks never seem to work for me. The few I have tried (amp, red bull, bawls, and another one I can't think of) have never worked on any occasion I have tried them...Bawls was the best tasting of them, but they don't sell it around here anywhere I have seen (and yes, I'm well aware I just said I like the taste of bawls).
