Absolutely not. The marketing has certainly worked on that health damaging crap.
The original Red Bull smells like the nasty yellow antibiotics we got as children in the 70's. |

I sit at a desk most of the day, not really much of a requirement for "extra energy", especially in the form of sugar and caffeine...
I mainly drink water, with a coffee mid-morning most days. Now it's getting colder I may throw in a hot Vimto! |

"Nope, work with a girl who drinks them constantly and googled "energy drinks & kidney stones" still didnt put her off  "
One girl I worked with drank so many the tips of her fingers turned blue once. She eased off after that!
As with everything.in moderation they're fine.
As for those saying they fast foil.... You lick willys fannies and bums for fun lol jizz tastes worse than a mango flavoured drink  |

For a brief spell in the 90's I took to drinking "VRB" which was a bottled vodka red bull mix at the same time as Hooch and WKD. It was fine at the time but if you burped in a Wednesday you could still taste it from the weekend - horrid!! I wouldn't dream of drinking any of those energy drinks now, they are grim!! |

Because coffee and vimro don't have sugar and caffeine in them |

I love energy drinks, i dont care if theyre bad for me, plenty other things we like to enjoy that are bad for us. I do limit myself on how much i drink though so i keep them to being treats
I dont really like red bull or anything that isnt flavoured, the generic energy drink flavour is pretty boring for me
I have actually been collecting the cans though of all the flavours. I just love the artwork and vibrant colours so when i have a good collection im gonna mount up some shelves and put them on display with some backlighting
Also i do love the brand 'Pussy', nothing beats cracking open a can of Pussy and chugging it down  |

I drank a couple of big bottles of Red Square Reloaded (similar sort of drink) once and felt like I was going to have a heart attack. Never again |

I used to be one of those that had two cans of Relentless a day. That was until I started getting chest pain so nowadays I’ll I’ve one can of Irn Bru energy a week. Maybe a second on the weekend depending on hangovers |

"Very rarely, much prefer a cup of coffee! I've got a mate that drinks one everyday and he's teeth are fluorescent yellow "
Do they glow in the dark too |

I will sometimes have a redbull though it's certainly not daily. I've found I really dislike the flavour of sugar free versions and the having tried a few, I haven't found another brand that I like so stick with RB. I'll often pick one as part of the meal deal in many garages where you get sandwiches, a snack and a drink as it is often the only choice in a can and I try to avoid drinks in plastic bottles.

"Nooo. But I do occasionally get Purdeys. For the taste more than its properties.
Occasionally an Orange Lucosade or Purdeys for me too. Taste is far better."
There are new varieties/flavours now! I liked the rose one. |

Well of course they do, I never said no sugar or caffeine in my diet.
But I certainly don't need them in the vast quantities you get in those energy drinks (about 4 cups of coffee's worth in terms of caffeine in a can of Monster I just read!). |

"Maybe it's because I'm old but if I need a bit of a pick up I drink Orange Lucozade and have done on and off since I was 18.
I don't like Red Bull etc. "
Original lucozade in the glass bottle was the best. Especially when you wasn’t feeling very well. |

"Lucozade aids recovery"
Occasionally I go for the original for a change but always go back to the Orange. |

You're right, orange Lucozade was great from a glass bottle - it tasted different in a can and terrible in a plastic bottle. They changed the recipe about 4 years ago and I couldn't drink it in any form from then on. None of the carbonated drinks taste the same anymore since they took out most of the sugar. |

Nope, they're really bad for your health. Avoid at all costs. |

"I don’t know how people drink them they are horrible and just give me gut ache straight away, with the things they can do to your mind and your insides they should be banned "
Along with coffee yeah?
Because that's horrible too and seems to have the nation addicted to it.
It isn't exactly great for you either with the amount some drink. |

I like them just a little bit too much 
Do like a can of Monster at the weekend, the pink one is my current go to.
And I'll have a small can of sugar free red bull if I need a kickstart weekday mornings |

I used to drink alot when i worked in kitchens. We would buy cases from costco and keep them in the walk in fridge. One chef drank 14 in a day and was violently ill, another i know got cysts internally from drinking to many of them.
I used to have between 2 or 4 a day i guess.. But now only maybe 2 or 3 a month at very most.
Best flavour is Monster Mango Loco |

I remember a bottle of it by my nana's hospital bed when I was little. Can "feel" that orange plastic wrapping now. |

"I have them occasionally, usually if I've got to drive a long way and I haven't had as much sleep as I'd like. "
They never seem to keep my awake whilst driving cannot say I have found anything else that does either 
Great pictures btw such an amazing figure |

Orange Lucozade was my hangover "cure" when I used to drink. |

Usually just 1 a day
I dunno how people can drink them. They’re the most disgusting tasting drinks ever.
