I knew there were a lot of them (because I use to be a big consumer), but I was blown away by the selection. I've never seen so many in one place.

I'd heard of a couple of brands but last time I looked in my local store the shelves were full of them. I'm probably getting old too, but at the very least I'd like to see an 18+ law on these products. I find the explosion in this market disturbing.

It has been making him edgy and angry, then he dozes off. It's also banned in several European countries due to strokes and deaths. Read the ingredients folks then do some research. Scary stuff. They don't even have to tell you how much scary stuff is in it as they are "dietary supplements." I may be getting old here, but I remember the good old days when we had things like exercise that kept us fit and gave us energy. Scary stuff. Do your research before you down one of these.

They are probably what drove me to persue a healthier lifestyle, eventually leading me to MDA. I actually love the taste of most of them. I'm surprised nobody has mentioned that they are HELL on your teeth! They'll rip through your enamel in no time. One my former co-workers used to show up at work with one of those 77oz (yes seventy-seven ounce) AM/PM mugs full of energy drink to START the morning! My favorites were the "Wired" (http://www.wiredenergydrink.com/)before I quit drinking them. Wired had by far the most caffeine and/or B12. One of the flavors has over 500 mg of caffeine. I still consume way too much caffeine at various times, but almost never energy drinks anymore. The HFCS in them (in addition to what was already in my diet) was playing hell on my overall health. I was a walking inflammatory disaster. The carb free 5 Hour Energy's do work. Two of the "Extra" bottles were the last "energy" type product I consumed.

Needless to say I quit drinking them. Day jobs are much better than night ones.
