Red bull and monster ?

Are these drinks alright in moderation or are the down right unhealthy?

Thanks

They contain tons of caffeine and other stimulants so probably not healthy even having just one.

Not good news for me, I knock em back all night to stay awake at my night job

Im not sure on the science side of things i typically avoid most of them beacause of the high calories in them but probaly once a month or less will have a zero sugar one instead of a few coffees in the morning i typically feel a little more jittery with the energy drink than i do with multiple strong coffees.

Never touched them - tried once and they are too sweet tasting. Give me an expresso from the local Costa any day of the week.

I drink them in moderation. Recently, I’ve been more sensitive, and you can even see it in my complexion when I drink them

People tend to get addicted to them, and drink way too many. There have been heart attacks and death caused by them

There’s 1000mg of taurine in red bull. 3000-4000mg is the max you’re supposed to have per day.

I drink red bull every once in a while.
For me it’s really no more powerful than coffee.
I just like the taste mixed with soda.

Try GFuel energy drink mix or switch to coffee

I like a lot the Monster Rehab drink - it’s ice tea with their taurine and all that stuff.

I love it a lot, to bad it’s hard to find and it doesn’t do a thing that I find it harmful, but I only drink a day if I’m in the mood for it, not more…

I only drink 1 a day not more and it’s when I drink, that’s what I intended to say. I don’t do 3 or 4 cans of it, it’s to much.

If I have to get up early, I have two options to keep me awake: skip morning meds or take them and drink an energy drink. I figure it’s better to have the energy drink. I only do so on rare occasions though.

I heard they can cause strikes and heart attacks.

The restaurant Sonic is currently doing Red Bull slushies. :sunglasses::sunglasses::sunglasses:

I have never had one either. But I drink 4 to 6 cups of coffee every morning. And I love sweet tea. I also have about one Coke a day probably 3 or 4 days a week.

The max amount is supposed to be no more than one a day. There was a guy working on the roads out here and he was drinking 5 or 6 a day. One day he just fell over dead. It was because of a niacin overdose. Each drink equals max amount of niacin for a day. Very dangerous to do more.
