OK, I want some opinions on those sugar/caffeine drinks - in particular the AMP drink. What are your thoughs on this drink - does it really help, or just give you a sugar high, and not have any benefits to it?

    Well, I don't care for the taste of Amp (I prefer Rockstar in the pink can), but I do drink sugar free energy drinks. I am a caffeine addict and I don't drink pop - so these are the way I get my caffeine fix (I try and limit them to when I'm at work ONLY). The caffeine in coffee doesn't do much for me to be honest.

    I think, in moderation, they are fine. I'm sure others will disagree. For me, I can definitely tell the difference when I drink them vs when I don't. If you aren't used to drinking a lot of caffeine, only drink 1/2 a can the first time as I've heard they can make caffeine sensitive people jittery.

    I love Lo-Carb Monster. Taste better than AMP. Also, I do not get that sugar crash at the end. I love em.
