If energy drinks were bad for you I'm sure Roald would have died years ago.
The real Ronald died 3 years ago, but Freeones found a donkey to fill in for him. It worked so well that people can't even tell the difference. :thumbsup:
As a hippy I don't work much, so a few years ago there was a "thing" that happened and I decided I should make a few bucks and help people. As I worked on said project I found myself needing a "pick me up" so I bought a bunch of an energy drinks (let's say it was similar to "blue cow"). I went ahead and got enough for me and others in the office, as writing my name on the drinks wasn't enough to ensure I had as many as I bought after placing them in the office 'fridge. I found myself initially more alert and quicker with certain duties than before but had "stomache" problems that subsided as soon as I quite drinking them. I consumed about eight a day for a few weeks (give or take like...five). As I was the guy that was responsible for alot of work, I couldn't just leave or take a day off because people depended on me, so I quit drinking the "blue cows." After a day or so I was feeling much better and left it a that.
I really feel it is a physiology thing because I over indulged, like EXTREMELY over-indulged and after that I quit energy drinks and am now back to what I consider "normal."
That's my story and I don't drink them anymore. I've found that water is is the best sh!t in the world and now I have to worry about that.
I drink water like it's going out of style and recently learned thatI have to watch that also as it can lead to hyponatremia. Which I'm pretty sure I've come close too, as I drink a sh!t load of water daily now.
One thing I can say positive about drinking alot of water, I've got great skin... haven't had a zit in years.

Obviously, different people are going to react in different ways. Some people are going to be more sensitive than others.
I do worry about long term effects. I have always wondered if these things are shaving years of people lives. Again, this will apply differently to different people. But it does worry me.

It was Rory that was addicted to the damn things. I can remember that he'd down about 4-5 a day. I wouldn't be surprised if his body is at the bottom of a canal in Amsterdam somewhere.

knows petras secret: she farted.
remind me not the eat the catfish there.
then so be it.
why should I stop something that I ENJOY drinking, I don't get a buzz from energy drinks any more, but I love the taste of them, but now days it seems that everything is bad for you unless you go a spend £££ just for an "organic" carrot. but then I bet in a few years they will somehow be linked to giving you some kind of disease :/
hard head makes a soft ass..........its in black and white all in this thread..if you cant read the writing on the wall..i dont know what else to tell ya..like george custer you been told..you can lead a horse to water..but you cant make him drink it??
You're only 19, that's why you think that way. I love the taste of them too, but 3-4 a day will hurt you in the long run.
Yeah, and I'm sure that's from the energy drinks and not the result of trying to leave a certain Internet website,....right?
So that is the reason for the improvement. :1orglaugh
it took awhile but i knew this would surface . i was not abusing these drinks at all. and they are much to dangerous to be sitting in a cooler of a store looking like a cold beverage. https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/killerdrink?source=feed_text&story_id=10152554508913287

Dr oz did a segment on this. Most energy drinks are very dangerous.
Obviously they're terrible for you. As are Cheeseburgers from McDonald's and other non-foods disguised as food. The key is moderation. One energy drink every now and again to help you stay up to drive and party is probably ok. That shit everyday to help you function is probably brutality on your kidneys and liver. But if you eat fast food and shit out of a box or bag all the time, the energy drink is just another straw on the camel's back. The sad part is, to eat right in the US it's usually cost the same as eating crap, it's just more time consuming because you have to take the time to prep your meals. But it's worth doing.

Never tried an energy drink or intend to. Coffee does nothing for me and I don't like sugar. Target has these No-Doze knock offs that do the trick for me. $4 for 60. Only use them for when I'll be doing an all-nighter and have to drive.. I keep the bottle in the car.
too bad most of the shots that I do are from energy drinks. hasnt caused any issues to me
