I know you can buy them at walmart, target, etc. But are they as bad for you as say Redbull, Monster, Rockstar, Jolt and whatever else?

I had one the other day

Anything with a lot of caffeine in it isn't really good for you... but sparingly they're fine

Youre gonna have what doctors refer to as an insanely tubular hallucinogenic freakout in a few days, at random. Id suggest staying inside for 4-5 days. It can get pretty violent.

Yeah, drinking 5 cans in one day probably isn't a good idea, but I don't see how the drink would be inherently unhealthy.

Anything is "bad" for you in huge amounts, including sex and daydreaming, two of the nicest things to do. Just don't over do it.

The palm oil will kill you faster than you can say "Duh, I'm dead". Nah! Sex and daydreaming are good for you, but trans and sat fats are not. ALL coffee creamers and coffee drink filllers are based on palm oil, the most nasty oil ever used in convenience foods, as in all flavored coffee cream substitutes. Dont be be fooled by words like "International", it is just made from high fructose corn syrup,artificial flavorings, and palm oil.

Just dont have more than 3 a week and you'll be fine. But yeah dont really need to worry about it, unless of course you drink it so much that you consume more energy drinks than water a day...

I just needed something to give me a little energy boost to stay awake in class. I had a busy day the night before.
