vitamins =/= energy

 

One time I drove up to Ventura armed with 4 Red Bulls. Left SD at 12:45am, got there ar 3:30am. Had I known Rockstar was cheaper I could've gotten away with just 2 of those.

 

would that be a first for you :eh: h:

 

its still anyway


um.. explain?

 

got one of those for the first time today and didnt feel anything. at least it tasted good tho.

 

Jolt Espresso .. mmm soo good and holy keep you awake. I had 2 in a row and was wired for many hours.

 

ive had black tea the entire day and im still up at 3am...not feeling tired, this blows, lol

 

Usually for energy, nothing imo is better than water. Of the energy drinks I've tried though, I'd have to say that redbull or monster are most tolerable vs. others. Anyone tried an energy drink by the name of sparks? Energy drink + alcoholic content; a lot of the rednecks here drink it :chuckles:.

 

they don't give you engery. here let me find something from my health book....

"Vitamins and minerals are essential to your health. Although they do not give you energy, they do assist in energy-yielding reactions and promote body growth and development. Vitamins and minerals are vital for human function, each one playing a different role."

 

Well if you want to get technical the only thing that really "gives you energy" is something that your body can break down into glucose and use to produce ATP to power your cells. Stimulants like caffeine and whatever other stuff they put in energy drinks increase your metabolism and cause higher levels of blood glucose. To use an analogy, glucose is like the body's version of gasoline, and caffeine is like nitrous. It doesn't give you any more fuel, just makes you use it up more quickly.
