I only drink energy drinks when I'm tired and even them I usually drink coffee instead. I like monster doe. pretty yummylicious stuff.
It forces your body to be "energized". It messes with your internals leading to serious inner body malfunctions. I want to go in depth but my information in this is a bit fuzzy since it's been a while, plus it's really late ?.
So energy drinks are bad for you, but consuming an equal amount of coffee or taking vitamins like B12 that speed up your metabolism isn't? There's no harm in drinking one occasionally. It's just like anything that's bad for you. The key is moderation. I cannot stand the taste of coffee, so if I need a pick-me-up, I'll grab a sugar-free red bull or monster.
Holy hell and a good goddamn!! Does everything in these flippin forums have to turn into a negative spiral that's clearly not on the tracks of an OP's original intent? Simply stated: "What are your favorite energy drinks?" All the energy drink bashing is totally unwarranted. I understand that everybody thinks they are a subject matter expert on everything that comes across their screen in PiMDland forums.... but why is it so hard for ppl to keep their thoughts to themselves when the only input they want to give is non positive to an OP's original post? This thread was asking about fav energy drinks. If you don't have one, don't post on it. Simple as that. "They are bad fir you" "They aren't allowed in my house" Etc.... Big flippin whoop. Be special and don't drink them then.... In silence. I know this was a harmless post on energy drinks, but the topic I'm addressing here is far too common in the forums and irritates me. Unless a forum's topic is asking fir, or is open to discussion with pros and cons... quit chiming in with anti-topic posts. Or posts that give an opposite depiction of an OP's original intent.
