Anyone tried them? Like them? Do they really work?
Re: Energy Drinks
The loads of caffeine in those drinks is perks you up . I used to drink Red Bull a lot but stopped after I became aware of its health risks.
red bull FTW
Re: Energy Drinks
I hear you get a sugar crash after you drink them???
Re: Energy Drinks
Major crash, it is not fun. There was quite a discussion on it a while back too. When you are in the middle of having crash, you feel cut-off from the world and you get tired but not to the point of sleeping. It (sugar) keeps you up rather forcefully for hours until you can no longer physically move. It is good for all-nighters (in a good way, like studying).
On the same but a rather different note, diet sodas/pops contain fat ingredients (suclarose/aspartame). Best is to keep away from diet even though the label gets enticing, seeing no calories in the nutrition label is not a good measure to stack up on the diets.
hubby drinks Red bull and V drink daily and he thinks they do work on him. he used to get headaches and i convinced him to see a doctor but the doctor told him that he gets headache as well after drinking it 
and its normal as headaches are due to too much caffine in it.
Re: Energy Drinks
Since I'm not the most active person at the moment, or even when I was religiously and regularly going to gym, never did I consume those energy drinks. They are just so loaded with sugar that I don't feel good about drinking them. I would prefer plain water to any other drink and If I'm needing a quick boost of energy, I'd have a banana or a glass of orange juice and I'm good to go.
Re: Energy Drinks
Niksik, i've tried energy drinks, but energy bars designed for women's nutritional needs - luna is one. it tastes challky but is flavored & organic.
Redbull dont agree with me but other energy drinks am ok with wakes me up for abit and puts u on a high for an hour 2 two. best energy drinks are the ones that cost cheap. :)
never tried red bull and don't think i ever will...
Re: Energy Drinks
I tried red bull and some other one...but it just caused a high n then a crash. I don't recommend it at all. Your better off with COLD water, or grapefruit juice/fresh squeezed juice for a kick
Re: Energy Drinks
redbull has got some crazy commercials playing on tv these days. 'redbull gives u wings' is the slogan. anyways, would never drink it.
