Energy drinks
Ive heard they are bad for you, I have also heard they are not bad for you. There are many rumors about it. A friend told me the ingredient "taurine" [which is added for energy] is bull urine. I looked it up on wikipedia and it states that it is an amino acid that is abundant in animal urine but is also found in plants and that the name taurine comes from the latin "taurus" which means bull. Another ingredient is "gaurana" which I also looked up on wikipedia, it is a plant in which each seed has three times the amount of caffine as a coffee bean.
I drink energy drinks for enjoyment, I do not drink them for energy. I am a fourteen year old boy, I have enough of my own energy. The reason I drink them is because I enjoy the unique flavor of them. The only ones I really ever drink are Monster, Amp, and Cherry amp. Discuss. EDIT: I also like bawls.

Shit be wack.
Instead, I drink my own urine for energy and to build muscle. Hit me up on MSN and I'll send you some topless pics of myself if you don't think it works.

Something of interest. My friend who drank monster so often, he started to perspire an orange color.
Another friend of mine got rushed to the hospital after complaining about not feeling well. He had 6 giant monsters that day before noon. When he reach the hospital, they said nothing was wrong with him. Can't prove that those drinks did cause it, but I am sure it didn't help. Is it bad for you? Maybe for some. Should you drink more than 2 or daily? I wouldn't for sure.

this isn't very pleasant. i am drinking Gatorade as we speak.. unless that doesn't qualify as "energy". the last thing you want is red bull..
that has 2 times the amount of caffine as Amp

mixing energy drinks and gatorade is amazing. I've never had a bad combo yet.
My fav's are Monster Khaos, Amp, and Full Throttle Fury

Pansy drinks, all of them.
Try Fixx, or Redline. Those are the best. 26 bottles of Fixx can kill you. One bottle of Redline can kill you. Both work great. |
