what's your expression on these? good? bad? ok-if you dont have to much?
i usually have about 3-4 a week at work,is that ok? i don't drink coffee, and people that i know have anywhere up to 6 cups a day at work.
is that more caffeine than a regular energy drink, or less.
Ive heard alot of bad things about these drinks, and not to many good things. when i have one at work, i feel great and can actually handle alot of full on work for quite a while, say maybe 3-5 hours i can really pump it, and when im sick or slightly hungover, it definately helps more than any other thing that i've tried.
But i definately dont agree with kids drinking them because it might give them a buzz, i've seen kids as young as 10 furiously sipping at them!

I like energy drinks I drink coffee and I also drink the energy drink call 5 hour shot and I'm good for like 5 hours. The thing is that I really like about it is that theres no crashing going on when it runs out.

Hey fezman!
How are you? Well as for me, I know that energy drinks are not good for ones health... But let me tell you, I drink at least one a day, including a cup of coffee or two... I don't get that much sleep, so it does really help throughout the day... I have never seen a child drink one, but if I caught my daughter drinking one, I would be sure to lecture her, and believe me, I love to talk.. lol.. Well Have a nice day! Take care!

Hey fezman, I drink a lot of coffee, sometimes upto to 3 to 4 cups a day
. I can assure you that coffee in no way, harms your health. The only minus point is you become addicted to coffee, and in my case, if I do not take it once in the early morning and once in the evening, I am not able to do anything
. Regarding children taking coffee, in India, it is quite common to see children who are as young as 3 to 4 years, having coffee. Of course we do not take black coffee, but we always add a generous helping of pure cows milk to the coffee.

I agree with you. But sometimes you need to drink,for example, a cup of coffee. Caffeine is a powerful substance that stimulates brain activity, and drinking coffee in certain situations it may be useful (eg to make it better when you have to study or to work a lot). Certainly this should not become a habit, otherwise your body becomes accustomed to the substance and can not do without. Indeed when i none is available, you work under optimal conditions than those who do not regularly use.
