Im not doing this. Im just curious :)
like rockstar, monster, nos, etc….

.Well if you drink an energy drink a day there won’t be any side effects. One drink a day is well within moderation and won’t have any adverse effects. The only catch is that Monster and Rockstar and many others are actually 2 or 3 drinks in a can. Only the small cans like the original Red Bull or better yet XS Energy are single servings. All of the makers recommend against having more than two in a day.

All problems with energy drinks can be narrowed down to over use or being dehydrated. However that is not what you will hear from the ignorant masses.

Yes, most energy drinks do have a lot of sugar and caffeine as well as other stimulants. However, sodas have as much if not more sugars. Coffee has more caffeine. So energy drinks are NOT any worse then those. However, with all of the combined stimulants in them more than 2 is simply much more than people need in a day.

The way they should work is that you get the initial rush from the sugars. Before that wears off and you have a sugar crash the caffeine and other stimulants should take over. However caffeine takes more water to process than the energy drink provides so it dehydrates us. When we are dehydrated we feel tired and caffeine no longer helps energize us. So if we don’t drink 2 glasses of water with each serving then we feel tired when the sugar rush wears off. That is the big crash of energy drinks. If you are hydrated you will not notice the crash and should be energized for 4 – 6 hours.
