    Never. Energy drinks are unhealthy and dangerous.

    Most energy drinks are packed with sugar as well as the good stuff hence the energy boost. Unless you are doing really intense sport training for a prolonged period it's best to avoid them. My daughter swims at national level and trained for 2 hours at a time twice daily and was advised to have just one a day post training to aid recovery, so for most of us it's just dead calories. And from a medical point of view definitely avoid the ones with caffeine it just makes your heart work faster without any benefit. So my answer is I never touch the stuff.

    I think that energy drinks are gross, too sugary for me! I drink black coffee every day and other stuff like lattes/cappuccinos occasionally.

    Besides what I get in coffee, I never drink energy drinks.

    For around two years I drank 2 - 4 Monsters each and every day. I'm Monster free now... I shared about it in the following

    These days only when I'm going out and will be out late (until 4-7am or something), and I grab a cheap nondescript sugar-free one from the shop over the road. It's force of habit really - they haven't had any effect on me whatsoever since I was about 16 or 17.

    Although I'm not going to lie, I will always be in love with Rockstar energy drinks and if I see them in a shop I WILL buy one because those things are delicious.

    I like Monster Ultra Blue every once in awhile when I need a boost. When I had Lyme disease and mono concurrently and still had to function like a normal adult (work, kids, etc), I drank 2-3 of those a day.

    Now, not so much. Coffee never really gives me a kick but my pre-workout supplement (SHOCK'D) does so I find myself using that more than buying energy drinks.

    Never and I stopped drinking coffee. I only drink water or tea. I want to keep my calories for food.
    Stef.

    A black coffee would have same amount of calories as a black tea - or a coffee with milk and/or sugar the same as a tea with milk and/or sugar.

    Anyway, unsweetened coffee with low fat milk is only 20 calories.

    I used to drink a couple cans of Monster or Amp a day. Then my heart started beating really really funny.

    2-3 times a week on their own.
    Every time when I drink hard liquor (mixes well)
    Sometimes when I drink beer too (the citrus-flavoured ones mix well)

    Rockstar zero carb is my favourite but I like the whole line really. Strangely enough, I don't like coffee.

    Monster does that to me too. I think it might be the ginseng.
