I have a Sneak mix before the gym and I use it as a pre work out but other than that I don't drink any.

Can't stand the sugary fizzy ones, they make my teeth feel itchy

They’re a no for me. Never had a can of Monster. Not sure what the appeal is. One of the quirks of ADHD is that caffeine and sometimes other stimuli don’t hit in the same way, I can drink and espresso and still asleep 20 min later.

It's a yes from both of us. Before training usually.

Bit picky about which ones thought and always the sugar free ones.

A lot of the monster ultra ones are nice and some of the Reign ones.

That said most energy drinks are absolutely rank. And red bull reminds me of calpol

Not good on an ongoing basis.

If you need these drinks for energy then you probably need to take a look at your diet, and get your energy in a healthier way.

Energy drinks are generally overpriced muck

They are pretty bad for you most brands, but that is common knowledge. Red Bull gives me flashbacks of my messy raving days which I have moved on from haha. However Zen energy brand seems to be healthier than a lot of the others, so if I really must have one I try to have Zen now. But I generally avoid all as best I can

They taste disgusting but can help me stay awake when I need to. If I'm going to be a driving long distance at night I chuck a couple in the car. Just had one now because some arsehole on the street was mowing their lawn before 7.30 this morning, woke me 2 hours early and consequently I've been utterly buggered all day.

I buy the cheapest ones I can find, tesco do one with just as much caffeine and sugar as red bull, at a quarter the price. They all taste grim, so I just go for best wakeup per pound effect.

I suppose it's the extra sugars and additives that make energy drinks less than ideal. In addition to the caffeine, pre-workout will also include creatine, BCAAs and some vitamins to aid your workout

I used to drink a good amount of red bull, but migraines started plaguing me.

Recently i discovered aussie lemon monster, it is delicious, a really nice cloudy lemonade. Bonus, having adhd there's something in the monster that made my brain clearer for a bit, but I had to limit myself to 1 per day, as the joys of adhd comes with a propensity to addiction, and if I didn't impose the 1 a day limit I'd be going thru them!!

I have however stopped drinking them regularly, and they're back to a once in a while treat,.or if I know I've got a full on day of work planned.
