Energy drinks (or other caffine based drinks)-Do they even work?

...I agree with the last statement (elitist members).But quite true with the real world situations part-it was simulated not forces-they just asked them to drink what ever they normally drank and tested them.As for online ettiquette-if I had more brain cells left I'd ask to take lessons from you-you know your way about here-and i do hope Seph gives you some stars soon :)(developmentally issues mixed with skull bashing brickwork has left me little to use in wit-all I have is my ability to throw things randomly-all of what I post in facts and opinions are basically what i heard mixed together and if it seems good I use as my own-otherwise a irc bot may have more thought)

mds64EDIT:Because of the fact that many people think this works-you can still discuss-but I'd wish this to focus on kids-such as 12yr's as I seen-and what you think makes them want it-or think they need it.

Because they simply want to get high.

I drink about 5-8 red bulls a day and 4-5 coffees.
I just love the taste...
And I think Ive gotten used to it..
don't get hyper from it or anything..someone told me years ago that if you mix energy drinks and ibruprofen ( think that was ) it gives the same effect as speed 0_ocan't be all that bad, im still alive. (maybe abit rotten from the inside haha)

energy drink never work for me.... no matter what brand, i tried them all.

Enegry drinks never work for me too but I always feel better when I drink some coffee

it gets me hyper however im not allowed red Bull ect but i like coke ect...

I only drink them, because they taste great. I dont feel any changes to my body and can sleep good after drinking red bull or whatever.
On the other site I know some people, who cant surrive a LAN-party without lots of energydrinks.
I think its individual.

Speaking of warnings, I bought a PSOne (small white playstation) LCD screen a while back, and the instruction manual was awesome.Your Wild Things(tm) monitor is not a hat

i have tried a few energy drinks since they hit the market, and all that they do for me is just make me more calm than normal and just makes me sleepy!!on twelve year olds it either does work like they say....or they just think that it's working because of all of the advertising and stuff...........i dunno........i was about that age when they hit the market in the U.S.......and even then, they did nothing for me......just made me sleepy......

^I've had that happen to me a few times as well not sure if it was just coincidence or just had a reverse effect for a moment usually i don't notice a change until I try to go to bed then I just can't sleep, im not hyper or nothing just not sleepy .

you are joking...
Right?

mds64(Personally they should have an legal age limit on these-it's not good for kids for heaven's sake!)

Really? That scares me, maybe just educate them properly and show them WHY they shouldn't be drinking it like water, unless they want a feeble dependent body when they're older.Passing a law will Not solve this problem.

I think some people's bodys have different reactions-prehaps it's burning out quicker.By that everyone has it-after a caffine hit they wear down and become more tired :(

Loonylion · #53no.

Most warning labels from asian countires have such funny "do not" on thier manuals.Of course I'm not gonna EAT my gba XD(japanese manual XD)

ace1o1 · #55i know......same thing happens to me.........it's annoying so i just stopped drinking them!!!

Soda,coffee,or tea same effect. just not all the time.Since I last posted that I ended up with a bad toothache and come to find out there is a small crack in it, well if I drink anything with sugar guess what happens, sets my tooth off. I have stopped on the sugar drinks or anything with sugar in it. I will drink coffee in the AMs but its just with milk. Well one day I slept normally next night I slept way too long like almost 14 hours stayed tired all day and finally broke down and had an energy drink and I will be damned if I didn't fall asleep shortly after and still slept another 9+ hours. Tonight I can't sleep and I haven't had anything with caffeine all day.

I reallly don't like the idea of drinking something to get energy.
doesn't feel right.

Except for the fact that eating or drinking ANYTHING gives you energy.

Replying to #59

Correct.

I think he means an energy boost-we don't really need it.I think in some ways people are becoming dependant on it.That is just from what I see-and is more opinion than fact (what I see may be different to other's-in other words...don't debate my vision :) )
