In my opinion,'Yes',provided the drink is taken in moderation and is not high in its sugar content.Today's lifestyle has turned up to prove quite hectic for people and has lead to an increase in stress levels.People have tend to become quite ignorant to their health and taking advantage of this, various companies have come up with 'Energy Drinks' which has gained an increased popularity among the masses today.In a way, Energy Drinks have helped the companies significantly.These drinks do provide instant energy but most of them are high in calories and thus can lead to obesity, if taken in excess.So, moderation is the key here which will help us to take utmost advantage of Energy Drinks in today's hectic world.

Drinks does not seem to have any effect on me. I have went to sleep after drinking coffee. Some sportsmen and women claim to have good results from drinking energy drinks. I think its just because such sports persons are associated with those companies.

energy helps if your not using it often, the problem with it is when the caffiene slows down in you body and your body gonna tax you will all the stress you put into our body, i usually take nitric oxide it's more energy igniter and more kick than just ordinary energy drink with taurine..

Tea and coffee contain caffeine which is the main ingredient that most of these 'energy drinks' contain. Energy drinks also often contain taurine and some easily assimilable sugars (glucose and fructose). Coffee and tea (and perhaps a sweet snack or fruit, such as an apple) are really just as good as the very expensive so-called 'energy drinks'.
It has been proved that an apple in the morning is much more effective at waking you up in the morning than coffee or tea!

Honestly, I have tried drinking it before because, I got so sleepy at work especially during overtime. But to be honest, I don't get the energy I really needed to stay active and focused at work. It was like just the same without drinking it. So I stopped it and I think it is better not to take some energy drinks at all. I'd red an article about a guy who suffered "heart failure/heart attack" from drinking an energy drink.
