Energy drinks give you energy... false rumor?

[Anonymous]

2 days ago i had a 250 ml energy drink along with a bowl of rice, and after 30 mins or so, i fell asleep on my chair. It's not the first time it happens, because when i'm sleepy most of the times i tend to fell asleep on my chair. But energy drinks wasn't supposed to keep you awake?

Anyone else noticed that?

not all people are affected by energy drinks the same way. energy drinks are full of various vitamins (such as b12) which can give you bursts of energy but MOST energy drinks are actually just chock full of sugar so you'll get a rush of energy and then a crash

I don't think energy drinks are a "false rumor" it just that not every person's body responds the same way

they never give me energy but I like the way they taste.

It gave me a short boost of energy but then I crashed. The worst for me was the 5 Minute Energy thing you see on countertops at pharmacies or the grocery store. It was more like 5 Hour Coma for me.

False! It tricks your body into thinking it has more energy. . . It just makes you way more tired :/ Sugar just makes you jittery as well.
