5-Hour Energy Drink?

[The General]

Anyone here like that stuff, use it a lot, hate it, etc....

I cannot handle coffee well so I have never tried one of these so called Heart Attacks in a can.

Thanks

Have used it and was extremely unimpressed. I think people who regularly consume caffeine will not notice any significant effect, far from a heart attack in a can. You are getting the same amount of caffeine as a cup of coffee, but no sugar. There is a reason virtually all energy drinks are loaded with sugar, it provides quite an effect.

Thanks for the post, Wayfarer. I've been known to have an addictive personality so I would likely enjoy it a little. I don't do any caffeine outside a cola so I probably wouldn't have any problem. I wonder if it would make me sick to the stomach? So most energy drinks are loaded with sugar, but not 5 HOUR?

Pretty much junk.........didn't do anything for me.

General, find yourself a quality fish oil and take between 500mg-1000mg of DHA/EPA (combined) of the stuff per day.......in less then a week you feel like a new man...........smarter, sharper, more focused, less pain in joints, and your heart will be better, lower blood pressure.

Make sure you consume with food, vitamin E preferably(for absorption).

10-4, Fishhead. I'll look into that for you.

Tried one only once and got very sick; my body doesn't tolerate that stuff well...

Did nothing for me, best thing if you like to feel alert all the time is coke but costly and addictive so do not do it.

I actually think this stuff isn't bad. It definitely gives you a pick me up. They are right when they say it doesn't give you that crash feeling. I have used this stuff a couple times and I would definitely recommend it.

I have definately heard about the fish oil stuff also. I haven't tried it but I need to do something as well. I'm always always tired and hardly ever have a whole lot of energy!

I drink the costco version of redbull. i have 4 cases of it.
that 5 hour energy drink is more like the 2.5 hour energy drink. probably good if ur going to play baseball or have an afternoon of doing shit around the house.

I drink a couple of cans a week when I don't feel like having coffee. I don't know if we get the same stuff here, but I usually buy the sugar-free Rockstar can (it's blue)... potent stuff and no crash.

i refuse to use any energy boosters so i never used any of this but my friends were actually talking about this last night. My friend took two of them on his 4.5 hr drive back to college and he said when he was just about there he "crashed" and he really felt depressed, he said it was the worst feeling he's ever had
