2. QUESTION:
   will drinking monster energy drink speed up your metabolism?
   its the blue one.... the low calorie low carb one too, so its not AS bad for you as the other ones.

   just wondering if i drink it will it speed up my metabolism.

   • ANSWER:
     Yeah it will, but only slightly and only while the caffeine is in your body, which would be about five hours. If you're trying to lose weight or get something out of your system, the difference caffeine makes would be insignificant. Also, low calorie and low carb doesn't necessarily mean it's not as bad for you because I assume that means it contains artificial sweeteners, which are believed to be pre-carcinogenic (i.e. linked to cancer).

3. QUESTION:
   Does monster energy drink speed up your metabolism?

   • ANSWER:
     No, but it may give you heart palpitations or worse.

4. QUESTION:
   Do energy drink really speed up your metabolism?

   • ANSWER:
     Dieters have long been looking for ways to speed up their metabolisms since at the end of the day, burning more calories means losing more weight. You can speed up your metabolism but you'll have to do more than sitting in the living room and watching TV.

     The amount of calories you burn in a day, also known as your total energy expenditure or TEE, is made up of three main categories. Thermic effect of food, resting energy expenditure and physical activity.

     The thermic effect of food is the total energy your body uses to digest and absorb all the food you eat. The more you eat, the more energy your body uses to utilize all the food.

     Resting energy expenditure is a broad category that includes everything your body does while you're not doing any activity. This includes energy your brain uses to think and your heart needs to pump. There isn't any practical or safe way to increase this number.

     Physical activity is the main area that you can use to speed up your metabolism.

     If you're interesting in speeding up your metabolism, you're probably looking to lose weight which means you shouldn't eat more to increase your metabolism. There isn't too much you can do about your resting energy expenditure so your only option to speed up your metabolism is to increase your level of physical activity and exercise.

     There are plenty of pills and drinks that promise to burn calories with no extra work on your part. Most of these drinks or pills are loaded with substances that are bad for your body including caffeine. People have become sick and in rare cases even died after using these. Is serious injury worth burning a few extra calories? The only way to speed up your metabolism is through hard work mainly involving exercise.

6. QUESTION:
   what to drink to incrase speed and energy?
   i have to run a mile in under 8 minutes, what drink will give me enough energy? i'm talking REALLY HARD STUFF

   • ANSWER:
     I think you need two types of drinks. One which has mainly water content like... water, or gatorade but also i think you might want another energy drink just to boost your energy or your adrenaline. Red bulls or XS drink is good. However red bull and drinks like volt have lots of calories and sugar which does more harm than good especially when you're exercising. XS i believe has very few.

10. QUESTION:
    Energy drink speeds your metabolism?
    I noticed that when I drink energy drink I loose weight, I also train but I dont loose as much as when I drink a energy drink,,,is it really the energy drink that speeds my metabolism??

    • ANSWER:
      no! energy drinks are the worst thing to drink. It has too much cafine and sugar in it, even more then pop. there is an ingredient in energy drinks that it tricks your mind thinking that it wakes you up, but to tell you the truth, its the worst substance that you can put in your body. it makes you gain weight. if anything, it will slow down your metabolism.

11. QUESTION:
    Does monster energy drink increase running speed temporarily?
    Well I am 14 and in P.E. today I had to run the mile I used to be really super slow (like 20th person to finish out of 50) and today we ran again and I was faster than usual I came in 1st place and Maybe it was the monster I drank at lunch today (because this is the first time i drank a monster) so is that what it is or something else.
    Ok I know it gives me energy not actually making me stronger of course but lets say i know i have a big mile run next friday if i drink a monster will it hel increase my speed so i can run faster that one time
    I have P.E. directly after lunch

    • ANSWER:
      No. I am a runner and I will tell you that it was all mental. The monster you drank would have lost any effect on you long before you ran. It's caffeine in there, not anything to boost your muscle productivity

12. QUESTION:
    Do energy drinks speed up ur metabolism?

    • ANSWER:
      No. As far as I know, you're stuck with the speed of your metabolism. They do however, often contain caffeine which suppresses your appetite. And if you drink enough of them they make you feel energetic and run around, burning energy. Don't know if its enough to offset all the sugar though.

13. QUESTION:
    Having some issues with caffeine. When I drink coffee or energy drinks, i get very dizzy. Any ideas anyone?
    It also makes my heart speed up at times. I drink regular soda all day long and it really does not affect me. Just with coffee and energy drinks. I am assuming they have more caffeine in them. I am also extremely tired all the time. Could the caffeine make me tired as well? Why does it make me dizzy? It just makes me feel horrible all of a sudden. I am 28 years old and have been drinking caffeine for as long as i remember. Any ideas anyone?

    • ANSWER:
      The following are excerpts from:

      CAFFEINE ALLERGY:
      Past Disorder or Present Epidemic?
      by Ruth Whalen, Medical Laboratory Technician

      "In allergic persons, each cup of coffee, cola, tea, every piece of chocolate, and any ingested caffeine products, intensifies toxic psychosis. Half-life increases. Subsequent doses, including minute amounts, act as a bolus. Cells are poisoned, including neurons."

      "Toxicity is known to cause excitement, agitation, restlessness, shifting states of consciousness, and toxic psychosis, mimicking amphetamine psychosis. Allergic individuals may be erroneously diagnosed, medicated, and lost in a dark disturbed world, until death."

      "CAFFEINE TOXICITY may also masquerade as schizophrenia, depression, and anxiety. In 1925, Powers described nervousness, visual problems, and DIZZINESS, in patients he discovered suffered from caffeine toxicity."

      "It's highly probable, that millions of consumers developed an allergy to caffeine, especially since availability and production increased rapidly mid- twentieth century. In which case, natural insights, and physical and mental health, have been sacrificed to chronic toxicity, resulting in organic brain, silently posing as ADD, ADHD, anxiety, BPD, depression, OCD, panic, and schizophrenia. Physical ailments resemble amphetamine poisoning, and include drug eruptions, masquerading as "rosacea.'"

15. QUESTION:
    would mixing nutmeg and energy drinks dangerous?
    Im thinking about getting high off nutmeg. Ive heard it has a really bad taste so i want to mix it with the energy drink Rockstar. Would mixing nutmeg with Rockstar get you even more high since energy drinks speed up everything in your body or would it possibly kill you?

    • ANSWER:
      your best bet is to (first) buy whole nutmeg.. from a mexican meat market or somewhere besides mainstream grocer. grind up in a coffee bean grinder.. a lot of times the nutmeg preground is stale.. old.. lost potency... then buy a cheap bottle of capsuls.. weather it be vitamin b12 or iron or w/e.. just so you can empty them out and fill with ground nut meg.. eat 2-3 whole nuts.. that'll do ya.. dont mix it with rockstar man.. that will ruin the taste of rockstar for you forever.. i made the mistake of trying to mix it with cocacola.. its not water soluable so it just clumps on top.. YUCk.. theres no way for some energy drink to effect a nutmeg experience.. if anything it would keep u from falling asleep as nutmeg tends to do..

16. QUESTION:
    I hear energy drinks speed upyour metabolism, but about how many calories do they burn?

    sugar free/low carb energy drinks, that is

    • ANSWER:
      I don't know the answer but you should try the Monster Java energy drink called lo-ball. The 15oz can only has 100 cals and is great. So if you have to have one try this low cal one.

17. QUESTION:
    Robby Gordon not allowed to use Speed Energy logo?
    I kind of feel bad for Robby. I think he should be able to keep his logo. Obviously he didn't intentionally copy the bicycle company's logo, it just happens to look similar. But I've seen other companies with logos that a very similar too.

    What do you think?
    Here is a picture of the logos:
    http://www.scenedaily.com/news/articles/sprintcupseries/Bicycle_company_wants_Robby_Gordon_to_change_energy_drink_logo_move_could_ruin_Gordons_sponsorship_plans.html

    • ANSWER:
      Well to be honest I don't feel that bad for him because the 2 logos don't just look similar, they look exactly alike. Only difference is Robby's logo has a few extra lines and the edges aren't perfectly straight like a splash type of thing. Now I know Robby didn't mean to because I doubt he's ever seen that logo but the laws are it doesn't matter if you knew or not, if it looks like you copied the logo then it's illegal rather you knew it or not. It sucks but laws are laws.

19. QUESTION:
    Do you drink an energy drink before a basketball game?
    I sometimes do to get hyper and get speed but on the other hand the day after i get dizzy for like 2 min. But its so worth it. =p

    Do you drink an energy drink before a basketball game?

    Which one. Red bull,Monster,AMP,BURN?

    I drink AMP and monster always.

    You =p?
    ya actually ur all right. I shouldnt and it is dangerous. Thanks to all of you guys maby ill drink something else. =]

    • ANSWER:
      No, I don't drink any type of energy drink before a game. One time I did that and I got pretty weak and slow on the court, because I was starting to crash. I've also did 5 hour energy before, but then again I got pretty slow and had a weird shot.

      Really, I try to do whatever to get some good energy by eating right if I know I have a game, and if I do drink any type of energy drink it's a lot earlier then the game.

      Although my favorite energy drinks are Amp and Monster. I love the blue and red flavored Amp.

20. QUESTION:
    do energy drinks really speed up ur metabolism or is that a crock?
    i work 2 jobs (55+ hours a week!!) plus im a full time college student so my time is very limited for working out. by the time i get to the gym or the lake near my house (ill jog the lake at midnight sometimes..its well lit and patrolled by police plus i have a FID card and carry mace) my body is ready to shut down...ive been drinking amp and redbull cuz they supposedly increase energy and metabolism but i havent seen either happen...the only energy drink that makes me feel awake is nos but that also makes my hands shake and i breathe a little funny so i cant take that....do energy drinks realllly work? whats a good energy booster? thanks

    • ANSWER:
      All energy boosters have drawbacks. Caffeine is perfectly natural but its effects only last for a few hours and when it wears off you may feel worse than you did before. Red bull is just a caffeine drink with Taurine added to it (Taurine is an essential amino acid that supposedly increases the effects of caffeine.)

      You seem to have a stressful schedule and I would give you a little advice - energy is over-rated, go for clarity instead.
      Try doing some simple breathing. You don't have to breath deeply or try to achieve some trance state. Just let your breath come naturally and bring your mind into the present, when it drifts away from the present, bring it gently back. The breathing is relaxing and rejuvenating and the exercise is to get your focus back. Once you're in the moment and relaxed you will be much more efficient and productive.

      Don't misunderstand, I love coffee dearly, it is like mother's milk to me but I realize that any stimulant will boost you up but unfortunately they don't make your mind more efficient. Think of it like your computer when the drive is heavily fragmented, it is going to operate slowly. You could put a more powerful processor in and try to boost the speed but you will just be pushing data faster through a confused set of mixed up directories and files. You need to defrag you brain a couple of times a day, keep yourself on task, keep cool, calm and I think you will find yourself becoming more efficient, getting more done and feeling better about it.

23. QUESTION:
    I desperately need to bulk up, too thin, I work out everyday, I Vegan. Does Energy drinks speed up metabolism?
    I have a natural fast metabolism because of my size and personal physics. My body type is athletic/fit, but I'm not quite ripped or swole yet. I really need help with this, because I have a short amount of time to get more muscle mass. I need it to be specifically in chest, arms, and thigh area. As far as what I eat, I don't eat meat or dairy. I eat fish and sushi, soy, bread. Oh, and I thought I would mention that I work out almost everyday and I do workouts that leave me completely sore. I work rotate my muscle groups every day, so I work arms one day, and legs the next, but I swim laps almost everyday.
    actually, I never said I was a vegetarian, i said I'm vegan, there is a difference. We vegan don't eat meat or dairy, but we eat fish.
    Obviously, there are too many detains included for this to be a simple question to answer. Basically what I'm trying to find out is if there is a theory to how to slow down my metabolism. I wasn't looking for a quick fix, I was looking for some method I could use over a period of say...maybe up to 6 months. Apparently, I've been on a specific diet for 4 months working out hardcore, and I'm in top physic shape, but the idea was to bulk up and it never happened. Someone who is a personal trainer said I screwed up by using energy drinks for carbs, and said that I should stick to solid forms of food, that the body burns off liquids entirely too fast and that Michael Phelps got as big as he is by eating solid food, working out all day and the food staying long enough inside the body to be absorbed instead of being processed. I would like to know what everyone's thoughts are on this subject, as a whole if possible. Thanks for taking the time to read all this. LOL

    • ANSWER:
      You can go to a health store and ask for help finding something to help you bulk up. If you're truly a vegan/vegetarian you'll want to ask them what's in the product. If you're eating fish you would not be considered vegan or vegetarian at least to the true vegan/vegetarians. You do sound like you eat really healthy and exercise enough so I would go with a health store. It will be expensive so if that doesn't work look online for natural foods that help build muscle.

24. QUESTION:
    Do sugar-free energy drinks, like sugar-free red bull, really speed up your metabolism?

    • ANSWER:
      Have you heard of the new energy drink ENVIGA that is suppose to speed up metabolism? Well, I've tried it and i dont think it does, but i still drink them for the taste and short energy they release. Give it a try you might feel the effect.

25. QUESTION:
    I drink 2-3 Rockstar energy drinks per day, how is that unhealthy? and Why?
    I do it because i like the rush and the feeling that if gives me, its better then me taking speed, which i used to do. im not an athlete and i was jsut wondering how drinkin and excess of these drinks is unhealthy.. im not athletic and i drink 2 to 3 of the 16 oz. cans a day,.... help plz!

    • ANSWER:
      So, 3 16 oz. cans contain 660 calories, 174 grams of carbs (162 of them pure sugar), and 294 mg of caffeine.

      That's a massive amount of nothing good. It's as much caffeine as three cups of coffee. It's more calories than a Big Mac with as many carbs as almost four of them. It's two Mrs. Fields White Chunk Macadamia cookies calorie-wise with as much sugar as six of them. Instead of 60% of its calories coming from carbs (as is healthy) 100% comes from carbs.

      This is extra calories and simple carbs not offset by any protein or even carbohydrate complexity. It's pure energy which means that it's bad for you in two ways: 1) to the extent that you are not getting these calories from healthful sources, you are not eating a balanced diet including protein; 2) to the extent that you are not burning off these calories with exercise, they (along with all of the calories over 2,500 that you eat per day) will turn into fat.

      Good luck with the liquid junk food.

26. QUESTION:
    lyotoa machida has great speed. how many AMP energy drinks does he have before a fight? 3? or 4?

    i heard from an "insider" that he has 3 or 4 energy drinks (AMP), but i forgot if it was 3 or 4!?

    • ANSWER:
      He has none.

      Energy drinks before a fight is a bad idea, your energy would spike, then crash dramatically.

27. QUESTION:
    Do energy drinks (Red Bull, Tab ..etc.) speed up your metabolism and help calories burn or...?
    just increase heart rate?
    I'm not trying to lose weight...i've just always been interested to know if this is what happens

    • ANSWER:
      i think there is only one out there that does and it is named something like Celsius it's in a bottle that is totally eye catching (lots of colors ) but i watched a show on drinks that actually help people lose weight and it actually helped people work out longer. i know this hasn't helped much but at least you know there is one out there. i also herd that eating hot foods boost your metabolism 15% for 2 hours after you ate them and that there is a pill with the same stuff in it. good luck with this.

28. QUESTION:
    whats a way to speed up the way in the speed in which shrooms kick in???dont leave answers saying how its bad?
    if you are looking for a way to speed up something but dont know how whats one way because i know that energy drinks speed up certain things but im not sure if it helps it kick in

    • ANSWER:
      Brewing it into a tea works. It cuts the waiting time from 20-30 mintues to 10-15 minutes. It also comes on stronger with harder visuals but the overall high doesn't last as long as just eating them.

      Heres some preperations:

29. QUESTION:
    Can a Venom Energy Drink Affect Your Period?
    Well today I bought a Venom Energy Boost Drink and had a few sips of it. (NOT the whole thing!) And I could literally feel my energy increase within a few seconds! (A really cool feeling! ) Anyway, I could sorta feel something going on down there, like it was flowing heavier than normal. (I am on my period) And even half an hour after a drank a few sips of it I could still feel it flowing more than usual(thank god I had a pad and a tampon!) And when I went to take out my tampon, it was.... soaked in blood, and I guess the black goopie stuff was a vaginal layer. (I know gross D: ) Do you think it flowed more because of the drink? If so, do you think it may speed up my period?? (Like if I kept drinking it - heavy for 3 days and then end) or just sorta keep it the same length?- Normal would be regular for 4 days and light for 3 (Well I don't have a constant flow yet, but it's similar to that)

    • ANSWER:
      i have never heard of a energy drink doing that sometimes u flow just does that

30. QUESTION:
    How badly would an energy drink affect a child?
    My kids just got home from their dad's house, and informed me that their dad gave them energy drinks yesterday. I am soooo pissed! I would assume that it would cause their heart beat to speed up significantly, but is that correct? I do not drink energy drinks, so I do not know. What are the side effects my kids could have from this? Would any of them be long term? Is this something my ex could get in trouble for? I keep a journal of visits, and this will most definitely be put in there, but do I need to report this to social services? Any advice would be great. Right now I am so angry I can't even think straight.
    Oh, I forgot to add, my kids are 5 and 8. He gave it to both of them. I asked the kids what it was, and they said Monster.
    No, I am not joking. I don't know what that would do to a kid's body, that's why I am asking. I'm not saying I'm gonna run right to social services for nothing, but if it's serious, then I would. For now I am just trying to see if anyone knows if their are bad side effects for a child from them.
    Yvonne - ok, that's what I was looking for. I thought they were basically like pure caffeine. Not that a ton of sugar is much better, but still that's better than a full can of nothing but caffeine like I was thinking it was.
    Chroniac - no, a simple "please don't do it again" probably isn't enough. Obviously, he thinks it's fine, or he wouldn't have given it to them in the first place.
    <3 - No, that isn't the case at all. There are no visitation orders in place, and if I wanted to be a b-it-ch about it, I could tell him he has to take me to court before he could see them again. We all know that would take a long time, and I have no intentions of doing anything like that. I just wanted to know what, if any, negative effects this could have on my kids, since I am uneducated in the subject of energy drinks.
    Des - ok. thanks for the link. i read it, and I am much calmer now. I probably seem like a total control freak, but I just didn't really know much about energy drinks, and was picturing my kids drinking pure caffeine. I still don't think it was smart, but I am much calmer now. Thanks!
    Halfway There - I keep a journal because he has been bad about not seeing the kids for long periods of time, and/or telling the kids he will come get them and then doesn't. I do it because if it gets to the point that I feel he is hurting my kids more than he's helping them, I will need to have something to go on. I also write down other things that my kids tell me he does, like drinking and driving, and stuff like that. This man is no saint, and although I want my kids to see their dad, I also have to make sure they are safe.

    • ANSWER:
      calm down thats ridiculous. no they are not the best, its like giving a kid junk food.
      theres just a tremendous amount of sugar in monster drinks and some caffeine.
      one time is not going to do any harm to either of your children. just ask that your ex not do it again

32. QUESTION:
    energy drinks with my diet?
    right, im tryin to lose weight
    and i no that energy drinks speed up your motabolism, so which is better, drinkin energy drinks before i eat,during, or after?

    • ANSWER:
      Energy drinks are just stupid. Sorry to be so blunt, but energy drinks put your body in a state of stress and that really messes up your endocrine system. The increased metabolism you are mentioning is the abuse you are putting your adrenal glands through. That stops all the production of steroid hormones in your liver and re-prioritizes the liver in such a way that no gonad hormone or thyroid hormone is being produced. The speeding up your metabolism is from excess cortisol production that is the stress hormone.

      Buy a book that will help you, not energy drinks that are very destructive to the body. You are setting yourself up for diabetes type II by consuming that garbage.

      The book: "Life Without Bread" by Christian Allan, Ph.D. Learn how to lose weight the right way dude.

      good luck to you

37. QUESTION:
    Did ecstasy for the first time on the weekend and had energy drink shots?
    So I'm currently a patient under an involentary treatment order in a long term extended treatment psychiactric facillity. And this weekend I went on weekend for the first time sense being here, and my sister (she does a lot of drugs, and has tried pretty much everything) said she found a new person to get ecstasy off, and asked me if i gave her money i could have some. So she got a good deal sense the girl was her friend, for 3 pills. They had superman symbols on them. I took one, after about half an hour i didn't feel anything, so I took another one and started to feel it. I danced for 3 hours straight and had such an incredible feeling of energy and happiness that I had never experienced before. I didn't sleep at all and the following day I had 7 energy drink shots and 2 extra strength caffiene pills and 100mg of melatonin because I thought that would elevate it.
    I started shaking uncontrollabley and felt very sick, when I came back to the hospital yesterday, the nurses said my pupils were very dilated and i looked very spaced out, I was shaking and pacing and my head was spinning. They did my obs and my heart rate and blood pressure were very high so they asked me if I had taken anything and I said no, but of course they didnt believe me and got me drug tested and found out I had taken MDMA. I still feel like shit, I don't know wether its from the energy drink shots or the ecstasy, but yeah, i had a shit weekend and it was my first time trying drugs. I don't want to get my sister in trouble and so far they haven't informed my mother which is good, but I feel like complete crap and on the verge of suicide. We have internet access here which is why I am on here though it is somewhat restricted. I want to jump in front of a train so badly. My ecstasy high lasted for about 7 hours and it was amazing at the time but the coming down was the worst feeling i'd ever had in my life.

    But, even so, I want more. Not ectsasy, but i want to try speed or acid or ketamine. i go home on the weekends so im here during the week and this guy i like who i hung out with yesterday (we used to go out) is with someone else and i still like him but then theres another ex who i love and miss but said some crazy shit to me yesterday and im just so confused.

    basically, did drugs, sucked, but wanna do it again next weekend, never again the energy shots though, they tasted like cough syrup and alchahol combined and the melatonin just made it worse, I also took a bunch of prescription pills (only about 15 so not an overdose) just for the sake of it.

    I so badly want to kill myself, the nurses here, well most of them are really bad and mean, I hate this place so much and I want to go home. I haven't eaten sense friday because I don't have an appetite and they're getting worried but im still not going to eat....

    • ANSWER:
      Yeah it was the energy drinks and caffeine that made you like that.

      Anyway - in order to feel better you need to EAT.

      Stick out your time at the hospital or whatever. When you're let out, then you can try stuff. Make sure you're healthy first. Seriously.

      The ecstasy could have made you more tired than usual or feeling a little depressed or something, but that's all.

      Do not take too many prescription pills either.

      Stay healthy for a while. Don't do ketamine until you're out of the facility as it can really mess things up. If you're in for a mental disorder, psychedelics are not good for you either. :s

39. QUESTION:
    What is the best drink combination before playing lacrosse?
    What different nutritional powders(whey,creatine,etc...) can I mix together before playing lacrosse for speed, energy, and muscle gain?

    • ANSWER:
      Don't destroy your body with those chemicals. If something was made in a laboratory, it's not something humans should ingest. I would suggest eating fruits and vegetables for vitamins, whole grains for carbohydrates and energy, and some lean meat for strength. Drink water or pure fruit juice or milk. Again, don't poison your body with creatine or whey protein. That stuff is absolutely terrible for you.

    I'm ADD and I drank an energy drink I think I might die!!!!?
    My heart is racing Ive drunk them before but it never did this to me I feel like I took acid and speed 0.o And it was only 1 lil can

      You won't die. My friend has ADD and she drinks energy drinks. It could be psychological, your probably just scaring yourself.

42. QUESTION:
    How can I increase my stamina, and speed?
    I am running X country for the first time this year, but i have been running for about 6-7 months before that. It seems as if though i haven't really improved much, and every time i begin to develop better stamina my running speed begins to drop, and vice versa, also i run with my ipod and i was wondering if that sets me at a disadvantage for the races in the near future, also i was wondering if energy drinks will give me a boost of energy enough to keep a fast pace for 3 miles.

    • ANSWER:
      it's better to get used to not running with your ipod, get ready for the conditions you will be running at the races. sports and energy drinks are not good for you, instead keep well hydrated and drink water afterwards. don't worry about how much you improve, just do what your coach says and try your best.

44. QUESTION:
    candy and energy drink diet?
    lol for the past two days all i drank was redbull and ate candy..it seems to have speed up my metabolism by alot. It also makes you wicked hyper for exercising so you burn more fat. Its a stupid/unhealthy thing to do but i have lost 3 pounds in the last 2 days....just saying

    • ANSWER:
      well although it may have worked in the short term...diets like these don't offer life-long results. I assume you don't want to eat candy and energy drinks your whole life (not to mention this is unhealthy because of the lack of nutrients and excess of sugar and sodium) so when you go back to eating normal food, you'll most likely gain the weight back. Diets need to be about a lifestyle change. A general rule: if a diet is too easy or too extreme, it won't work.

45. QUESTION:
    Why Can't I drink Energy Drinks Anymore?
    In the past I used to be able to drink energy drinks before and feel fine when I got done drinking one can or two. I used to drink like maybe 3 a week and sometimes some coffee. I used to drink them all the time when I was sleepy at work to get me awake, and I will not lie...I used to drink them so I can get that buzz from them. I took a break from energy drink since the I have quit my job 5 months ago and I decided to pick up one just to see if I get that kick like before. Turns out that I freak out and my heart speeds up and feels like it is going to explode. I can't even handle a Mountain Dew at all, or coffee let alone. The only thing I can handle is an Arizona Green Tea and that's about it. I am a healthy 22 year old guy that goes to the gym to run 2 miles every other day and I weigh about 177lbs. Is this a health problem or has my body made some kind of way to make me withdraw the caffeine?
    Oh, and I used to drink those alcoholic energy drinks before but I quite drinking. I used to drink alot but I dont anymore. I dont smoke either...

    • ANSWER:
      I think you may be under a lot of stress lately and taking caffeine, which is a major ingredient in energy drinks, boosts the firing of stress hormones in your body. Too much adrenaline, a stress hormone, in your body can speed up your heart rate.
      One way to remove those stress hormones in your body is through exercise which you are already doing, so keep it up. Another way is to relax through meditation or brainwave entrainment.

46. QUESTION:
    what are the effects of drinking the energy drink Monster or other energy drinks during preganacy?
    i have this friend who is 17 and pregnant for the first time.she has no knowledge of pregnancy.i told her not to drink energy drinks while preganant.i didn't give reasons why as i dont know for sure.but i am thinking that if it speeds up our own heart rate it would the baby's as well right?could it cause heart defects,heart failure, or the heart to burst?she doesnt listen and i need facts to back up what i will tell her so she doesnt harm her baby for her own stupidity.
    i just read my can of monster and it does say not recomended for pregnant women.

    monster contains taurine ,panax ginseng, L-carnitine ,guarana ,inositol, glucuronolctone ,and maltodextrin.

    • ANSWER:
      They all have caffein in high doses which isn't good for the unborn child. Also some contain taurin which is harmfull for the unborn child - the energy drink I have in mind actually has a warning printed on the can that says that pregnant women should not consume the drink. There are also other things in it that can cause deformities in the fetus. I read up on energy drinks when I was pregnant because I also liked them, but decided not to take any chances and didn't have any eversince.
