I used to drink those drinks once in a while. They gave me bad stomach aches. I rarely drink coffee anymore.

I bought a 5 hour energy drink a few weeks ago when I was starting a new full time job where I was worried I'd get too tired to stay up.

Never got around to using it though, since coffee seemed to work just as well, and is a lot cheaper, but I'll down it at some point seeing how I already bought it...

the good thing about the 5 hour energy drinks is that they actually have very little caffeine. what gives you the boost is the high B6 and B12 vitamins in it. 8333% B12, 2000% B6. caffeine is listed 2nd to last on the ingredient list. lately, i have been going thru one a day of them. i just dump a grape one in some grape gatorade, and it covers the bad taste. some weeks at the auto parts plant i work in ar SOOOO much fun.


niacin: 30mg
B6 40mg
folic acid 400mcg
b12 500mcg

None. I tried a sip of red bull and hated the flavor. And i havent drank any kind of soda in at least 5 years.

I do drink a lot of coffee though.

Caffeine has a lot of health benefits. Prevents depression and parkinsons are two things that come to mind.

Moderation is definitely the key with energy drinks. If I have more than one a day, I will feel ill.

I used to have 2-3 a day but I cut that out a while back, I avoid them now. I had Jager bombs at the drag races last night but otherwise than that I don't drink them anymore.

I will use a 5 hour if I am driving and feel like I am wanting to nod off. I keep a few in the car for that purpose but it doesn't happen that often.
