Energy drinks...do you drink them? how often? if not, do you think they are unhealthy?

Answer 1

Yeah, I drink them...a lot. I start out with a pot of coffee in the morning and when I can't drink any more coffee I might have a couple of Amps or Sobe drinks in the afternoon. Red Bulls taste pretty bad to me. Mainly I can never get enough sleep. Are they healthy? I don't know: in fact I was going to post the same question today. I'm not sure what ginseng and taurine and all that do for you in the long run. My primary complaint is that they are too expensive: $2 or so, unless there's a sale on. Hope somebody else can provide a better answer.

Answer 2

Energy drinks aren't for regular, everyday people. They're mainly for those whom exercise and such. When you exercise, you sweat, and sometimes you sweat such a hefty amount you overdo it. Energy drinks are exercising because they contain electrolytes and nutrients to make up for those lost in sweat.

Some energy drinks though, are just high in sugar and caffeine (like Red Bull). I drink Vitamin water, it's really good (flaaaavooooreeed), and is very healthy for you. I wouldn't drink too many in one day though, can't have a nutrient overload, that's bad for you.

Answer 3

Most "energy" drinks are just high in sugar and caffeine. Save yourself a buck or two and have some cheap coffee with sugar in it.
