      I believe theres a healthy energy drink called 5 hour energy that has 40 grams of caffine, gives you a energy boost and has vitamins in it.
      I'm pretty sure that the effects of one energy drink are not good for you in any way. They spike your blood pressure and your heart rate in negative ways. Even just a single coke really does some terrible things to your body (although, most of them being short term).

        If you want a real hangover, get drunk on Fosters Australian Beer sometime. My God you'll be drinking a beer, then it's like someone hit you with a 2x4. Repeatedly. Then you're waking up 12 hours later, naked in the desert with your jeans on your head and a donkey milling about aimlessly nearby.

          One glass of a weak beer will hydrate you more than one glass of an energy drink or soda.

            alcohol is a depressant (though many people don't know this, or choose to ignore it) in small quantities, it has a tranquillizing effect on most people

            impairment begins with one drink

                Like I said earlier - google search "is beer good for you?" and reap the rewards...

                  At no point in time will any beer hydrate you. Same goes with soda and energy drinks. They do no sort of hydration, even if you consume only a small amount.

                      I was reading the side of a coke can that said something about coke helping to refresh and hydrate you... Then I wondered why they're allowed to post lies on the side of their can. Isn't that illegal advertising?

                        I don't buy that, I know when I drank like 5 to 7 cans once on my way to Texas I had to pull over because my heart was beating so fast and I was sweating. I was also quite sick to my stomach. I felt really close to having a heart attack.

                          ... You probally were either growing tolerance or going to throw up. I know during a football practice I ate a fresh burrito for lunch and my heart was beating pretty fast and I threw up...

                            Back in college I had two Red Bull & Vodka's within 20 minutes of each other and I thought I was going to die. I will never drink that crap again.

                              Throwing up and having a heart attack is what I thought I was going to do, but thankfully I did neither. I also vowed right then and there if I didn't perish to never partake in any energy drinks from that day forward.

                                That's misleading - it's only calculating the effect of caffeine, not all the other chemicals that are in there.
