At what time do you usually take a stimulant or energy drink? What is your purpose for taking them? Do you think they are helpful or harmful? Make your argument.
I have a few quik stories. One time I was working all day at 'The Jazz Cafe' as a dishwasher. I was sooo exhausted. In the back, red bulls were sitting in a refrigerator. Uhh, so I sorta took one :) N chugged it down! I had a ton of energy N was flying around. Later on, I hit a wall harder than I ever have before. :(. I dubbed red bulls FAKE ENERGY.
I'm not sure if this is a stimulant or what it is considered, but during my senior year in wrestling we all got done with weigh-ins, and this one kid from Berwick started to pop pills N a jar of honey. Pshh, N I had to wrestle this kid. He was tweaking out by the time our match started. Great match.... haha
Other times, at sporting events such as track, teammates chugged red bulls N insisted it helped them. Though, I wonder.
(I wrote this while in my class. Pshhhhhh, that was boring.)

a little of both, they give you the boost for a while but,
when the down time comes they take you backward

I've never taken stimulants or had energy drinks. I don't even drink coffee for the caffeine. I just like the taste of it. I don't need unnatural things to wake me up. When I'm awake, I'm awake, when I'm asleep, I'm asleep.

No I don't. Do they make me live longer or make me richer? If yes I will try. I take it you are offering a money back guarantee lol.
But seriously, only serious sportsmen should take them. They are not really necessary for others. All you need is plain, natural water, a balanced diet and a good, long rest.
