Are these bad? I keep hearing these are bad. And yet people have a cup or 2 or 3 of coffee daily. Is that not bad? I usually have 1 to 3 energy drinks a day. How is coffee just fine and energy drinks are bad? Is it the combination of lots of sugar and caffeine? What if you drink non-sugar energy drinks (which is what I do)? Also how did Matthew Mayer have to sit a game or 2 due to 5 monster drinks? Too much in a small window like 1 hour?

Do you feel you scoreboard energy drink drinkers?

no idea - never tried one.

coffee is more than adequate.

esp. w the donut synergy.

edit: actually tried a red bull 25 years ago.

no impact.

Energy drinks is a big label.. some are ok, some are not.

Coffee is ok in reasonable quantities.. a couple of 6 oz coffees is way different than a couple of 24 oz fraps

No sugar is good, artifical sweetener is bad. Too much caffiene from any source is bad. Carbonation effects people differently.

Research has shown some benefit from them and have increased brain function. Other studies have shown sleeping issues, cardiac problems, and diabetes and other inflammation based diseases when drinking ones loaded with sugar.

Check with your doctor to see if these are negatively impacting your health.

Remember, All things in moderation.

I drink lo carb ones and my platelets are high.

Going to switch to tea and super vitamin b complex.

Define "bad."

I dont think they are any worse in moderation than any other carbonated, caffeinated beverage.

Had a former coworker end up in the ER due to her energy drink habit. She was downing 3-5 a day. Had a major impact, primarily on her heart and digestive system.

I drink one in the morning when I get to work and will sometimes have a second one in the afternoon.

I give blood regularly, and it occurs to me that after giving blood, I am always encouraged to relax with a few drinks.

Those drinks include water, juice, Powerade, even Coffee, but never Energy Drinks.

So I treat Energy Drinks the way I would, say, Jack Daniel's in a can.

Yep. Drinking's version of Vaping.

Well, I drink them and feel totally good. It's all about the amount and the lifestyle in general.
But if we listen to or read news, research, and articles, then almost everything in live is harmful. So energy drinks if for sure not the biggest danger

I still just drink Gatorade.

Gatorade is thirst aid for that deep down body thirst.

Energy drinks led to my drinking problem.

Never tried them. I just drink 3-4 cups of black coffee (meaning no sugar either) every morning. For some reason I imagine energy drinks tasting like carbonated cough syrup. But I don't know like I have said I have never tried one.

They are for sure not healthy, but if you drink one some time, then I don't think something that bad will happen. I also drink them from time to time, and everything is good

I did notice on Monster that it has B12 in it. It also has a high level of caffeine.

Just downed a Red Bull.....feeling good.

Used to be addicted to Monster in college. One night, I planned on pulling an all-nighter at the library for a test and brought two double XL monsters with me. Showed up around 7 and had both of them gone by 9. By 10, I was tired and went home and went to bed, and woke up early to continue studying.

Around the same time, I was driving near Penland and my mouth started going dry and I was craving a monster, that was a wake-up call for me to stop drinking it. I occasionally have one but have really scaled back after talking to my doctor about it who said it's basically poison in there with all the additive crap they put in there.

I'll just stick with my black coffee now thank you.
