Energy Drinks...good or bad??

Sometimes I drink Sobe but I just tried this energy drink called Bawls Guarana. It was sugar-free which was good and it said that it has no calories. Would that affect me in any way??

In general, are energy drinks good or bad??

I doubt their good for you. Read the ingredients... how much of that can your pronounce? I don't know, anything that I can't even make out as a word doesn't seem healthy for my body.

But that's just me. I think water is as good as it gets and I won't go near anything but it.

i drink a go girl energy drink everyday

I drink energy drinks EVERY MORNING! They get me going and they are amazing! I drink the ones without calories though! The brand I am connected to at the moment is called Xenergy: I would google and check it out pronto: they just came out with NEW AND AMAZING FLAVORS!!!!

I used to drink RIPIT energy drinks but they do not sell them in my town at college so...sadly I cannot have them here :(

 **Just be ware of the Phosphoric acid in these drinks because it really does do a number on your bones: trust me, I have osteoporosis!

I use NO products for lifting, they are basicly energy drinks on roids, lol, with no sugar (or minimal sugar) and some NO compounds and creatine.  I am still alive, hell I lived on these things when doing my Soilder Qualifications.  Ya for being no sleep for 4 days in a row.

I've had them before, only when I had a deadline to meet and couldn't let myself go to bed until I finished my project.  I wouldn't have them every day or anything, but once in a while I guess it doesn't hurt.

I used to drink them all the time.. i dont think they are bad for except if u consume too many. esp of the sugar free kind bc of the chemicals in their. i used to drink rip it but kinda got bored of it. i also like tab. the sugar free red bull is absolutely disgusting. so ya i quit bc they are not so great for u

I drink a Red Bull occasionally when I need a quick start to an early morning.  The problem is, it sucks up 110 calories which burn up quickly, and I'm left feeling hungry.  When counting calories, I stick with the no calorie diet pepsi so I can use those calories for something a little more substantial.

hey kristenskats! 

 I just wanted to drop a note to say the sugar free red bull is great.  It has just 10 calories and tastes the same as regular Red Bull.  Saves you the calories anyway.

sugar free red bull definitely does not taste the same as regular red bull.  i usually only drink red bull when it's mixed with vodka, so the sugar free stuff is alright then.

I'm definately an energy drink junkie ... I've found the best tasting, least toxic to be either Monster Khaos (70% Juice, 180 Calories) or Monster M-80 (80% Juice, 180 Calories). But that's just me ...

I like the zero carb Rockstar in the blue can. Zero carbs and I think only 20 calories in 16oz
