Basically energy drinks are no worse for you than anything else with a bunch of sugar. It's probably even better for you than drinking which is why I don't understand this "those things will kill you" attitude.

>why I don't understand this "those things will kill you" attitude.

Things loaded with sugar can indeed kill you.

Frankly I don't see the point. They're expensive as hell for what you get. Want caffeine? Take a tablet. Want sugar too? Drink a coke along with it. Why the price suddenly triples when a little more caffeine is added is beyond silly.

>> No.6547372

they're ok but very over priced. I don't drink them too often anymore since I got into coffee.

I use to drink ripits constantly, those fuckers make you so much more thirsty

>> No.6547378

>>6547357
The price is indeed fuck-tarded but they taste really good (much better than caffeine pills). I do wish they had less sugar because I kind of drink them for that gasoline taste anyway. What I don't understand though is that plenty of things have a ton of sugar in them. Why is it normal and acceptable for a fatass eating a pie to tell me that drinking energy drinks will kill me?
That's like someone smoking a cigarette telling you mineral water will kill you.

Most taste disgusting. Sugar free nos and the cherry mountain dew one, I think it's called amp, are the only good ones. Red Bull, monster, rockstar, etc taste disgusting. I'm trying to figure out how to make my own energy drink. I want a base flavor profile of grapefruit with notes of cherry, lemon, lime, anh possibly bergamot, neroli, or hibiscus. Maybe some orange too. I'll sweeten with aspartame and acesulfame pottasium. I'm thinking about bottling with a cork and wire cage in a belgian beer bottle, going for an ultra premium energy look to it since apparently image is a big part of why to drink energy drinks. As for the magic I'm thinking 5g l - arginine hcl, 1g oxiracetam, 300mg niacinamide, 300mg caffeine base or 500mg caffeine citrate, 150mg l-theanine, and maybe some other shit, but that should be plenty. Loranns makes all the flavor oils so it's just a matter of getting the ratios right and using a little grain alcohol and gum arabic to get it to dissolve. I already make beer, so energy drinks shouldn't be much more trouble.

So here is what I find on google:
' Cardiology professor Williams agreed that further research is needed, adding that these results need to be followed up.

"Without data, one can only speculate," he said. "If you speculate on existing drugs that have that effect, it would be cause for concern." '

and...

"But if you're generally healthy, do you need to swear them off? Probably not, but the key—like with most things—is moderation."

So excellent evidence there champ.

I get the sugar free rockstars when I'm on a road trip but otherwise I don't buy them. It's definitely not something I would drink regularly since coffee serves the same purpose without all the extra crap.

>> No.6547666

I enjoy them. I like to have one with me when I go to work for the night shift.

That said, I don't get much of a buzz out of them, it's not like 1 can of redbull is like 4 cups of coffee or something crazy. I just kind of like the generic energy drink flavor at this point.

I will drink a NOS original or a Full Throttle citrus.

Fuckin love the flavor of full throttle, who cares about energy though, why can't they make a soft drink that tastes like it and has little caffeine.

Coke has 35mg per can, Full Throttle has 80mg per can, also 12oz vs 16oz, if anything they have less than a small cup of coffee from mcdonalds. But caffeine like a calorie may be different depending on where you get it from.

it may be man, i dont know.

there have been caffeinated beverages that i have had that had zero effect on me and some that made my heart want to stop, there was no alcohol and the amount of caffeine was no more than 80mg.

Can you really say caffeine from coffee bean is different from caffeine from coffee extract or guarana?

>> No.6548163

It could come from butts and be the same. Same with nicotine. A robot dick will feel different than a cigarette. That's because there's stuff besides nicotine in a cigarette. Coffee and guarana have stuff besides caffeine.
