i just ran through it, a few things i didnt know.

Wow. I always thought they seemed a bit suss, as in "you don't get something for nothing", and I wondered what the trade-off would be. So I've never had one.

I've only recently kicked a long standing Coca Cola habit and pretty much given up on Iced Coffee too - after receiving a pretty serious wake-up call late last year.

Wouldn't even know what any of these so called energy drinks taste like, and not interested in ever finding out. Fortunately, both our kids have never had an interest in them either.

Still being a teenager (for less than month though) I've had my fair share of energy drinks.
Rarely have one these days, unless I've had a big night or something like that.
I've seen first hand the effects of too many (i.e more than one) in a small space of time, so I've always been a bit iffy of them.
But on the other hand, Everything is killing us, the very act of being alive is hurtling us towards our inevitable doom so I can live with an energy drink every now and then.

Good Work!

I've just done the same thing, id been drinking at least 1L of coke a day, but normally quite a bit more than that! People don't seem to realise how addictive it is
My first few weeks, I was like someone coming off drugs, mood swings, hots n colds, shakes. Had to stop drinking beers as well, id normally have a few beers, then get spirits and coke going,

I'm now at 13 weeks since a coke or a beer! feel a lot healthier, I now go to the gym 3 times a week, have a lot more energy to chase the kids around, and sleep better at night.

I wont be letting my self drink that **** ever again.

I used to drink a few litres of red bull and other energy drinks every day through uni. Its pretty much the reason I quit uni and a load of other things at the time.
I only recently figured out that having an energy drink gave me a 2 day high then a 4 day low. It got to the point when i quit drinking them that I had a massive low and sold a few project cars, quit a few hobbies, broke up with my then girlfriend.
I got into iced coffees after that, more of a habit, grab a drink as I go. Then i realised i was having that much iced coffee I was heading back to where I was.

Now I have a cup of tea in the morning and the odd cup of coffee every now and then. Ive never felt better either, in regards to quality of sleep, general well being and happiness.
