Do energy drinks really work ?

[sapper]

In my opinion they don't, but we have a guy at work who swears by them, he actually buys the stuff by the case (24's) and gets through at least three a day.

I've tried a fair few, from Red Bull to Monster and none of them have any effect on me whatsoever, is it me, is it psychological, or do they really work for some people ?.

I actually find a good old Mars bar and a Dr Pepper does me more good than anything else.

I've always found energy drinks like mountain dew or relentless dont work. But others like Red Bull or Monster do work for me. Usually however i have to go through a number of red bulls before they effect me. But once i had a monster round my girlfriends at 11pm...couldnt get to sleep till 4am. I just want to run around outside naked singing. Weird.

For me energy drinks don't do anything for me. I could drink 6 or more a day and i will feel nothing due to the fact i used to drink them so much. I don't anymore since pf how bad they are for you. So yes for people they may actually work but for others its just a more expensive drink they are buying for no reason.

Energy drinks are just high caffeine beverages that are supposed to make you more alert. Not all of them have caffeine, but most of them do. For me, they don't work right away, because caffeine doesn't affect my body for a while. It does work, however, since it makes me more alert. I don't really drink energy drinks, though.

If it doesn't work for you, it could also mean that you have a high tolerance to caffeine.

They don't work for me, they might wake me up for a couple seconds, but then I will get tired again very fast.

It's gotten to the point where energy drinks are equivalent to gasoline for my body.

I prefer meth, from a purely economic standpoint it works out much better than energy drinks.

They may give a slight sudden boost but in the long run they don't really do anything.

The only thing energy drinks do for me is cause what feels like a panic attack.

I could be sitting at my desk quietly working, but on the inside, I'll just feel like OH GOD!!! OH GOD WHY?!?!!?!?!? Why is this happening to me?!?!?!?! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANY MORE!!!!11!!1 UAAAAAAAaaaaaaaAaaaaAAhhh!!!!!!!!

So yeah, I don't do energy drinks unless I want to have a nervous breakdown. :shrug: 😎

I drink Monster energy drinks and relentless too, They do help me but I guess it must differ from person to person.

 

[Darthmaul]

I drink one every year or so 😛
They work fine...for like and hour. Then you crash and you can't think right for the rest of the day. It's more psychological IMO. Personally, I can get the same, if not better, effect from Dr. Pepper and a large pizza 🙂

I think you may need help way beyond what an energy drink can provide :lol:

Sounds like you're smoking too much weed with those energy drinks bro

I used to drink like 3 cans of Monster a day and they do give me a boost, although I haven't had one for over a month as they aren't good for your health so I gave it up.

Energy drinks are designed to help your brain stimulate, and increase the speed at which it runs for a short time, then you will normally experience a drop in activity making you sleepy and not wanting to do much. For some they work it just depends how much of a tolerance your body has to the caffeine/taurine/ginseng.

P.S. Your only meant to drink 1 monster a day!!!! 3 a day could hurt you as unlikely as it seems it could that's not good for your health 🙁

It should say something like "consume 1 a day" on the can somewhere

I swear by my can of Red Bull on the drive to work everyday.

Most do on the can, at least in Australia it's a regulation.
In fact, over here there's a can of Rockstar sold in most 'Gas Stations' (If I must talk American here.) that's actually bigger than the daily recommended intake.

 

[Pebbles]

sure they do.........
real question is though.... they good for you?
NOOOOOOOOOOO....​

 

[Myhostv]

In my complete honest opinion, energy drinks do not work! The only thing I can tell that happens in an increase in heart rate.

As there are varieties of energy drinks available in the market and in that some are artificial and some are made from natural ingredients. I also like to recommend every one to have Green energy drinks which are more beneficial than others. Thanks!!
