I open my day with a 5 hour energy, then have an espresso shooter to follow it up. 5 minutes later I'll have a cup of coffee... then I'll drink 5 or 6 Monsters throughout the day... before bed I have a caffeine free 5 hour energy to help me sleep for the next 5 hours.
if they are energy drinks, how does one help you to sleep? shouldnt it have the opposite affect?
hes being sarcastic....theres no way someone can handle that much caffiene for an extended period of time
Bullsh1t. I had a serious addiction to monsters and 5hrs at the same time for a while. It wasn't unusual for me to drink two 5hrs and three "battery" monsters throughout the day. Your body just gets used to it.

Gross. I think I have drank 2 or 3 of those drinks in my lifetime. Once was in grad school and once was a 4 Loko just to taste it.
I have a tea in the morning and I am good to go. Back when I used to go out late and then have to get up in the morning I would get a coffee from Starbucks, but I don't do that anymore.

1) Taste. Not everyone likes coffee and a lot of these are flavored like citrus/fruit/pop/other mainstream beverages.
2a) Vitamins are different than caffeine. A lot of the "5 Hour" types are just stuffed with B vitamins. It's some ungodly number like 8000% of your daily dose. The jury is still out on what this does to your kidneys.
2b) If you're referring to "Red Bull" and the like, ya, it's pretty much sugar and caffeine with a touch of "interesting" things like taurine and ginseng. Some people claim it works, some are just following a trend and having a placebo effect. It's definitely a huge market though.

I cant stand the smell of most energy drinks, so i've never even tasted one. Im tempted to try a 5 hour energy if i really need one, but to be honest if i need energy, coffee does it for me every time.
