I read in a newspaper the other day that those sorts of drinks only give you a boost for about 15 minutes.

Infact, within an hour they can make you drowsy. Red Bull and other stimulant drinks are supposed to be better.

Anyway, read this: http://www.thorne.com/altmedrev/full...aurine3-2.html EDIT: Don't look at me for an explanation, I think some study freak wrote this.

Red Bull contains taurine and caffeine too...as well as glucoronolactone which is related to taurine. All energy drinks are the same shit.

I'm not familiar with the metabolism of the other stimulants but caffeine itself has a half life of 3.5-6 hours so it obviously lasts a little longer than 15 minutes. Also, all stimulants make you drowsy when they wear off - what comes up, must come down, it's the same with cocaine and any other psychostimulant.

You can drink too much of anything and die. It's called overdose...you know?

Anyway, ever heard of google?

Taurine is an amino acid that is good for the heart. You should have about 500 mg per day.
