Do you find energy drinks really work?

I just find them sugary and sickly. I have to admit I love Red Bull but stopped drinking it when I heard how unhealthy it was!

Right, but does it work for you? Doesn't it?

No, I don't believe they do. I'm sure they give a boost but it probably works much the same as coffee. ie. it gives you a buzz when you're full of energy but then it doesn't last. I always find that those energy drinks with twist caps are impossible to open if you don't already have the strength so you need the drink just to open the bottle!

I personally think energy drinks can be dangerous!I had a Red Bull one morning and then went and did arobics,I was fine until I got home about an hour and a half later.All of a sudden my heart started racing,it was a really frightening experience.I mentioned it to my doctor the next time I saw him and he said I should have gone straight to the hospital as I had a bad reaction to it.Apparently this is quite common.So if you are going to drink it please be careful!

No, I do not find that energy drinks work. It may work for some people but not everybody. I think everybodys bodies are different and react differently to different juices and foods and other products.

Home-made energy! - Coffee-making equipment.
I think they are really only as effective as what most of them contain - caffeine. I drink coffee which does it for me. I dislike the taste of Red Bull and that sort of stuff. Try drinking it from a glass sometime and tell me what it looks most like!
