See, there's a reason I put this up here...too damn tired to realize where I am putting it versus where I SHOULD be putting it.

ETA: Coffee in the morning, but 5-Hour Energy in the afternoon.  Pomegranate flavor rocks, plus it's easy to slam.

I thought this was breaking news for free Rockstar energy drinks!!

Rockstar for me.  Especially Rockstar Recovery with the lemonade flavor.  Only 20 calories for 16 oz.  Love it.

I don't do energy drinks.  Maybe I should try them, but diet soda is so much cheaper.

Do you know I never even tried one?  Do they really work?  Do they keep you up later?   I get scared of insomnia, so I don't even have caffeine at lunch.  Coffee & juice in the morning and that's it. 

Anybody try that night time sleep shots or whatever put out by the 5-hour energy people?  Do they work?

You should not have a problem unless you're sensitive to caffeine.

Personally, I never drink one after 3pm.  I once drank one at 6pm and was up well past 2am.  :rotf:

Never tried the night shots because I have no problem sleeping.

The smell of those energy drinks makes be gag.

If I want energy - all I need to do is drink a liter bottle of the red label coke and I'll be bouncing off the walls.

I've never had an energy drink and I don't plan too. I vary rarely drink coffee either. It's tea for me.

I'll do the 5-hour energy shot thing only when I have a long drive in front of me -- 3 hours or more. Matters not about flavor, though the Berry works pretty well.

I like Red Bull. It reminds me of drinking a Big Red (for those old enough to remember Big Reds). I've done the 5 Hr Energy shots and they didn't do much for me.

My energy drink is slimfast(trying to lose weight). The sugar content is too high in those energy drinks, I would end up in a diabetic coma, :(

Slimfast often has a lot of sugar.

There are low carb, low sugar energy drinks.

"Liberalism is an essentially feminine, submissive world view. Perhaps a better adjective than feminine is infantile. It is the world view of men who do not have the moral toughness, the spiritual strength to stand up and do single combat with life, who cannot adjust to the reality that the world is not a huge, pink-and-blue, padded nursery in which the lions lie down with the lambs and everyone lives happily ever after."

Strickly coffee.  Black.  If I feel a little freaky, I'll add some cream and sugar....Mostly black though :-)

The 5-hour energy shots contain NO sugar at all.

Yeah, I was surprised to find that out too.

I drink coffee, black and LOTS of it almost all day long. The Red Bulls will still get me a little more "awake". But, they are damned expensive!! A case of 24 small ones @ Sams is $34. (Still cheaper than the stores)

Just make sure you drink the ones that are better for you.  I love Rockstar Recovery because it's only 2 grams of sugar for the whole 16oz.  Not all energy drinks are loaded with 20 cups of sugar.

I've been drinking this daily for about three months. Oprah even likes it, but she likes everything. www.myshakeology.com/paintkarz  It's healthy, gives me energy, helps keep the weight off & is approved for diabetics and to help prevent diabetes.

It's about $4 a day. If you sign up to sell it, like I did after a couple months of use, you save 25%.

It's versatile and has two flavors in which you can add fruit, juice, milk or extracts...there are many recipes out there to switch it up once in a while...the webpage can explain it better then I can. If anyone wants a free sample, just let me know. I will hook you up.

The world wide quest for the ingredients was just featured in O magazine's May issue.
