About those new 5-hour energy drinks...?

So do they work as well as they're advertised? I've been up all night and I know I'll end up falling asleep at class. I heard they work well and can keep people up all night, mostly I've just heard of people getting really fast heart beats and...blushing??? Is there any danger/side effects using the drink compared to getting a Monster or Red Bull?

    I don't know. I have not tried them and have not asked others that have if they last that long. I can't imagine that it can. I do know they taste very nasty from waht everyone says.

    Energy drinks are good to help when you have not had enough sleep. However, it is important to keep in mind that this should not be done all of the time. There simply is no replacement for sleep.

    It is safer than Monster and Red Puke though because of what they do and don't use in it. I am not sure how people get fast heart beats and so on since it supposedly does not contain caffeine.

    I use another healthy energy drink called XS Energy. They are the ones that pioneered using B vitamins to give energy rather than sugar and caffeine 6 years ago. 5 Hour Energy is following their lead, as is Stacker 2's 6 Hour Power. When they first came out my friend had one at 10:00 p.m. and he said it was 3:00 a.m. before he could go to bed so maybe they can last that long. Since it is providing nutrtion maybe it will have longer lasting effects.

    they taste like fruit punch and work okay i certainly didnt fall alseep as with all those things you do come down and feel blah. i thought the 5hr had a better calm down than red bull and all those. just my humble opinon but its good.
