Today me and my dad were at home depot and I saw a Full Throttle energy drink stand. So I bought one.
See, energy drinks have a reverse effect on me. They actually make me crash rather than get really hyper, sometimes even making me fall asleep.
I haven't had one in over two years... so here it goes. (gulp, gulp, gulp.....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................zzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....................................................

Speaking of Monster, I just had one a second ago. They have way too much sugar in them, ewww. I prefer the Monster Assault, it taste a lot better than the original green kind. Has anyone had that "Java Monster"?? I saw it once at a gas station, and haven't seen it since! Also...Full Throttles are nasty IMO. The only reason I actually finished one, was because I paid 2$ for it...rip-off

Energy drinks are actually pretty retarded and are made to make you crash. All it is that's giving you that "energy" is a TON of sugar and almost dangerous levels of caffeine. Congratulations, you just paid a fortune for a cup of crappy coffee that doesn't really work and is bad for you!
I don't drink soda. Energy drinks qualify as soda in my book. However, Sobe non-carbonated natural energy drinks RULE.

Yeah, I agree with Justin, to some extent. They are loaded with sugar. I will sometimes buy a monster, just to slowly take sips at it becuase I enjoy it; or sometimes I just need to be woken up a little bit. (A good use for caffene) I think people use energy drinks for the wrong reason. Drinking an energy drink before excersisng, is defnitely not a good move, because Caffene dehydrates you...But if you want to take good notes during class, an energy drink would definitely be good for that. I also will never drink more than one a day. Putting so much caffene in you only makes you sick. It doesn't make you high at all...that's what annoys me, is when people think they are getting high because they drank a bunch of energy drinks.
So, with that being said, I only drink them for taste/non-falling asleep..ness. Not to look cool, or get "high"
Also Justin, if health is what you are concerned about, I wouldn't ONLY stay away from energy drinks if I were you...
EDIT:And for John's comment... Powerade has sugar in it!

^ You don't drink soda!!?!?!?! I haven't had any type of soda in a year. I haven't had DARK soda in two years. It's not really health I'm worried about, I'm a skinny dude. I just do it because I can, and while it is good for me, the goal isn't to be more fit.

Well then, health shouldn't be a reason not to drink it, then. Also, you can be skinny and still be healthier if you ate better foods.

Excercise. Don't forget excerise.
^ Yeah, I hadn't had an energy drink in over two years... I just wanted to see if it still made me sleep, and it did.
Coke is cool because it's coke. Coke Zero is cool because it's zero everything. I gotta have that carbonation - it's not the caffiene.
I've never had coffee (except to taste it).... I probably will never drink it.
I hate warm drinks.
