    Please don't let everyone know, then motorcycling and heck most motorsports would be in trouble, but NBA players are catching on ( I would just read from midway through)

    "I thought it gives more of a good, even energy source than when you take some of the high-sugar, high-carbohydrate drinks," Kaman says, "[which] really just gives you spikes."

    What about no sugar energy drinks? Doesn't sound like they'd get enough caffeine either, say a decent cup is 75-100mg, in a another sport I've heard from some pros in cycling (pre race not workout) that say you need 3-4mg per kg bodyweight to be performance enhancing. 3-4 cups of milky coffee = spew.

    Well, I like them, or at least some of them. All the different Monster flavors in particular, plus they have cool can graphics. Redbull? Not so much.

    I try not to afford them very often because I know they "aren't healthy", and they cost way too much, but I do like them. And, obviously so do a lot of other folks.

    I'm primarily a coffee drinker though.

    On a race weekend, it's coffee for breakfast then a Monster at lunch.

    The artificial sweeteners and colors have they’re own negative effects. Ever seen a fatass that guzzles Diet Coke? There’s a reason for that.

    I did drink a VR46 monster once. It was at a discounted price and the can was impressively painted,I had it for decoration. I drunk it shortly before the expiry date,too sweet for me.

    I'm drinking tons of coffee,almost any kind greek,espresso,cappuccino or *freddo espresso/cappuccino ,filter coffee always without a single sugar grain. I have the habit of eating something sweet along with the coffee,though. It enhances the coffee flavour.

    *(anyone who has visited Greece,knows.I don't drink frappe,though :D )

    Some, yes. But it also does some strange things with blood sugar and insulin that lead to overeating other foods:

    Because diet soda is usually calorie-free, it would be natural to assume it could aid weight loss. However, research suggests this solution may not be so straightforward.

    Several observational studies have found that using artificial sweeteners and drinking high amounts of diet soda is associated with an increased risk of obesity and metabolic syndrome (7, 8, 9, 10).

    Scientists have suggested that diet soda may increase appetite by stimulating hunger hormones, altering sweet taste receptors and triggering dopamine responses in the brain (11, 12, 13, 14).

    Other than Red Bull’s and vodka way back in the day. I had a monster or rockstar don’t know Juiced I think It was called. I couldn’t keep my mouse steady on my computer. I drink a ton of coffee every day but that thing was another animal.

    Is this really a debate?

    In other news, inhaling a mixture of 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen is better than cigarette smoke...
