Whats your favorite energy drink

It's important to note that "energy drinks" and "sports drinks" are completely different things.

Energy drinks usually contain big doses of caffeine (or guarana, a naturally-occurring source of caffeine in the form of a very bitter berry) and sugar and usually some sort of mysterious herbal concoction. The high caffeine and sugar content usually makes them somewhat dangerous to combine with any strenuous physical activity, because the caffeine is a diuretic and you can get severely dehydrated, not to mention the stress the stimulants put on your heart. There have been quite a few reports of high school football players (and other athletes) chugging a couple of these "energy drinks" before a game and collapsing partway through, sometimes with fatal results.

Sports drinks, on the other hand, are usually water with electrolytes, minerals and sometimes vitamins to help replenish the water and other substances lost through sweating. They help to re-hydrate you.

I know, you're right. However, it's not all energy drink that contains shit.
For the taste, i prefer sugarless Redbull, but that's the one i usualy drink :

Woah, that pic is big!

100% natural stuff.
A bit of cane sugar > refined sugar.

That's the problem with people and that kind of stuff : they can't stop after having just one.

On the label in the pic I posted, it says: "Regain your energy immediately! Real Gold nutritional drink. With: aspartic acid, royal jelly, and vitamins B1 and C2."

I've never really looked at the ingredient thing written on the back of the can.
