@AnnTeresaMcNeil I have anxiety and drink them often, when I don't have energy, i get depressed because I'm not able to get through my day and get all my activities done. Kinda sucks, it's like you have to chose between anxiety or depression, hehe

@Miklee02 energy drinks have a lot more stuff in them than coffee or tea does

@cherokeepatti yeah but everything in moderation…. Except coffee of course 😅

@Miklee02 I can’t drink much coffee, limit it to one cup

@Barny52 Dang, it's true though

@Andromedanian @Andromedanian sugar and carbs are addictive like drugs!!

@RogueLoner I knew someone who was drinking them for energy to help him work. He was said to be a hard worker. But it seems it would go against him in the long run.

@RogueLoner Honestly I've heard a lot of older people say that and I wish I experienced the same level of energy they did when my age. I drink them often almost daily basis but i have like "detox week" every so often. I honestly wouldn't take them if I didn't need them, however every time I've tried to go sober, o really am not able to push through my day while completing every task that I have.

I have a full time job, on the side I try to workout and stay in shape for me, not for anyone else, but i have a fitness gig so it's part of my side job I guess. Also I study everyday so, honestly, to me it's not possible to get all my goals accomplish without any "extra help".

@Andromedanian "Energy" drinks are in business to make money. Without 'clients' such as you, the energy drink companies go out of business. The high you get from these drinks is countered when they wear off, likely by a double negative feeling of low. You think the energy drink is picking you up, when in reality, your dependency is ultimately bringing you down - so you drink more. Just my 'uneducated' opinion.

NIKE didn't invent the phrase "just do it". WE were saying and practicing that in the early 70's.
