Well that clears it up.

Taurine is general considered safe when it is properly used in normal doses. Normal dosage is up to 6 grams per day, but may be less in some situations.

Never had a problem with energy drinks until one night when I drank 8 cans of Red Bull when gigging. Also had a couple shots with red bull in them same night. NOT RECOMMENDED. I was up for 3 days and thought I would die.

But I still love Red Bull, just limit myself to a couple cans at most.

You do know that that stuff makes your testicles shrink, don't you? Unless you are studying for the Ladyboy Academy entry test, you should avoid.



Stick to Dexy's.



Or, put a pair of boxing gloves on when you go to bed, then you'll at least get a good night's kip and be nice and fresh in the morning.

Actually...Any stimulant (Caffeine) makes your dick shrink...(Who cares about the testies...they're just decoration...) Sends all your blood pumping to your organs...Just like jumping into a cold pool...

So, the golden rule is...You can drink the drink...but your dink WILL shrink...

wait till you have kids, a exwife, and a business, NOT ENOUGH TIME FOR LIFE.

So true.

i found they only really worked for me when i used to work shifts. when Monday came on the day shift i would have one and on the first night shift. but now i don't drink them since i'm self employed and work when i want. plus they taste like ass you can smell a can open from a mile away

I've used the 5 hour energy a few times. Not more than one in a 24hr period though.

I had one gig we were providing PA for, it ended at around 2am. So I drank the 5hr at about 12. I was wide awake and had plenty of energy but didn't feel shaky or restless. I had just enough energy to get through the teardown and make the drive back. I was feeling a little sleepy by the time I got home so I laid right down & fell asleep.

I'm a Coca-Cola guy. I'm not into the energy drink craze much, just for when I'm beat at 11 - 2 AM when the vodka and Red Bulls work very well. all that other "monster" and "demon" and "rockstar" shit, they can keep that noise.

now then, I just found Red Bull Cola, which is great when used judiciously. def gives a bump and helps fatigue go away.
