First of all, at the risk of proselytizing for a capitalist entity, allow me to say that these are fucking awesome. I had my doubts from the infomercials, but a buddy of mine vouched for them, so I tried it out and they actually work really good. There's very little caffeine, so after five hours you could take a nap if you wanted.

Question: Does anyone have an informed opinion (!) as to whether or not it's bad for you to drink them every day? I wouldn't think so, but after my buddy found out I was drinking one or two a day, he said it would be bad for me. Something about overloading the body with vitamins - the main stimulant in them, I think.

Finally, I totally didn't get paid to write this post. Totally.

I sleep sometimes immediately after drinking caffeine.

THIS IS LIES.

I like the 6 hour ones, I have adhd so it's heavenly for me. Other energy drinks can still get me goin but I crash an hour or so later. Those little energy shots are great, green tea works fairly well too though.

I would only take it if I was desperate and needed to stay up to study for an exam or something. Things are much better if you eat a proper diet and get enough sleep, which I always strive for. I don't like temporary fixes.

I like 5-Hour Energy for conventions or raves personally... for that, I am eternally grateful to them.

5-hour energy is nothing...
If you really need to stay awake pop some amphetamines like some of my friends do.

It's some kind of energy drink I guess?

I always preferred monster energy over 5 hour energy. 5 hour energy tastes like medicine and monster makes me feel more energized.

That, too. On weekdays I usually take dextroamphetamines and a 5-hour Energy and get fucking amped, bro.

Seriously, though, amphetamines and caffeine brings out the crackhead in me. The 5-hours are a much clearer "up" when combining with speed. The 5-hours with ADD meds is a true proletarian cocktail.

I've taken 2-C-I and 2-C-C, and neither of them really compares to pure MDMA, in my opinion. I'm not sure exactly what would happen if you drank a 5-Hour with some molly, but I bet it would be fucking awesome, bro.

My amphetamine taking friends do exactly this (or take any energy drink along with the pill), for both study and night-shift work.


I've taken 2-C-I and 2-C-C, and neither of them really compares to pure MDMATrue, but I never really like to feel way too amped; it just makes me feels too edgy, manic, or something.
I'm not a big fan of uppers but than again I don't have too much experience with them either.

Well if one's at a rave (and conventions are fine too; there's probably many public events where it would be fun to be tripping) and all one's taking is 5 hour energy...they're doing it way wrong.

Since I'm a broke motherfucker, I usually just opt for the cheaper conventional energy drinks, and that's only when I didn't get enough sleep or I'm exhausted and need to move around still. Or when I know it's gonna be a wild-ass party night.

However, I did try it out once, since I was working and I got like, 2 hours of sleep. Holy shit, felt good man.

Speaking of amphetamines, I'm wondering if anyone else has tried this or knows exactly how it works, scientifically speaking.

If you can only get two to four hours of sleep in a night, you wait until you're going to pass out no matter what, and then you pop one right before you go to sleep. You'll have really intense dreams the entire time and then wake up feeling good as fuck and ready to fucking rock, bro.

Seriously, though, it's worth trying. Worst case scenario, you don't get any sleep, but you're still on speed, so you can probably make it through the workday anyways.

I feel so bad after drinking energy drinks because of all the sugar and shit they're loaded with. If I need a boost to stay up during a night shift or something I'll take a cup of coffee then a cup of tea consecutively so I get the initial buzz from the coffee and the caffeine lasts longer but no crash.

2C-I and 2C-B are fun, although when it comes to raves, nothing beats ol'-fashioned MDMA
