In the end, that's the thing , your body becomes used to it and the effect doesn't work. You just think it does…

Thats not true. It still works. It just holds the caffiene hangover terrors at bay. Its like once you get addicted to heroin, the heroin doesn't do as much anymore, rather, you just need it to be normal. I gave up caffiene for lent, and those first few days… phew. Just from that experience I know I'm not giving up junk anytime soon.

{quote=OO]but that it doesn't actually do much that's proven when used in energy drinks

Taurine, supposedly, opens up the veins to the brain so that blood and thus the caffiene, can reach it faster. Thats the story I heard anyway.

Those things are bad for your health. Stay away from them.

Everything is bad for your health. Sometimes you gotta live the for the day dude.

Very interesting, if accurate. I may have to research that some, since it makes sense.

Words to live by… :)

No way. I can't drink anything like that. Plain ol' Pepsi gives me insomnia for a week. I drink water and skim milk (not mixed together ;) ). On special occasions I have kool-aid or cream soda. – I actually drink Coca-cola as part of a migraine cure, but I don't drink caffeinated things just as a beverage unless I have no other choice.

Also, I can't drink anything I don't like the taste of. That includes coffee, tea, alcohol, many kinds of juice, most kinds of soda, etc.

(I won't pretend any of it is "for my health" though. I'm not a shining example of good health in any respect. Alcoholic chain smokers will live longer than me regardless of how "well" I live, eat, or whatever.)

i stay away from caffine most the time…(not because i'm mormon)….just because…

i've hated every energy drink i've tasted….and the last one i had, (because i needed to pull a 20 hour shift)was an 8 ounce can of Ripit. it made me sick to my stomach. but i was awake for that 20 hours…..

If I have an energy drink it's because I need to study, but I always get twichy and end up playing Super Smash Bros.

All the energy drinks I've ever tried all taste so… chemical. And they don't really do anything, either. If I want to be able to stay awake for longer, I'll resort to sugar and willpower (because coffee tastes like eurgh.)

Ditto.

I drink Rock Star or NOS.

Redbull are too small for the price and the effect.

RockStar is like a big Can of VRRROOOM!

…a big can of hyperactive sound effects.

Lol.


Redbull tastes like muddy water to me.I drank it once and never touched the stuff again.
