I drank one around 4 (in the afternoon) and I'm still going strong as dawn is breaking outside. It is quite beautiful. The dawn and the consciousness I have.

Note: one should not drink a whole energy drink if one wishes to get any sleep...

But it's the weekend, so I don't care.

Edit/ update: 9:00 AM now. Effects are fading fast. But it was good while it lasted

energy drinks bring back memories of chugging cans of Monster to get through my terrible office job last year

Oh yea I remember one of the first I had when I used to work at a gas station. Downed the whole thing pretty quick.

Next thing I knew I was seeing vapor trails.

Drinking energy drinks in a cubicle was a bad idea, it's hard enough to be productive in there when you're not tempted to spontaneously start shaking the keyboard for no good reason

24 hours w/o sleep. Then a 4 hour "nap," I suppose you can call it.
I feel fine.

I was expecting some sort of backlash/ coma from doing this to myself, but...

What the HECK do they put in those things I'm a little scared of how un-crappy I feel... not that I'm complaining. Just surprised.

I used to drink so many energy drinks in a day. Then I stopped. Haven't had one in about three years.

For me, they do nothing. Here's the typical reaction of me drinking an energy drink

6:30am - feeling really tired from going to bed at 1:00am after playing WoW for 5 hours
7:00am - get to work still feeling really tired
7:05am - go down to cafeteria to get breakfast, see energy drink and get it thinking it will help
7:09am - energy drink downed
7:30am - still really tired
8:00am - still really tired
9:00am - still really tired, wish I had saved myself $3 by just splashing cold water on my face to wake up

I absolutely love those SoBe 0-calorie Life Waters... they taste great, and are sweetened with stevia, that great new natural sweetener. =)

They seem to work well for me.

1.5h sleep + Red Bull / Monster = I'm good to go for quite a while, actually. I tend to fall out a bit later at night if I'm not actively involved in something - and sometimes even then, I'll doze off a bit. Really pisses my mother off.

Last time I had one, it did nothing for me. :/
And yet a bottle of Pepsi keeps me going for hours. Weird-ass dreams and all.

5 Hour energy does work depending if you already have had sleep before you dranked it.

Say you have been awake for 24 hours and hey, 5 hour energy sounds like a great idea, and you drink it!

Nope! It will make you feel like shit. Trust me.

...So 5 hour energy only works if you're not tired/ sleep deprived? Then that means...

Well, let me put it another way: You did not get enough sleep? 5 Hour is wonderful.

Been awake for 24 hours? It won't work.

I'll really stretch out my energy drink consumption to where I'll only down one can in a week or so. It gives that boost I need, but not kill my wallet.

Stuff like that used to make me really twitchy....but now I'm so addicted to caffeine that nothing too special happens, even after I've downed a RedBull. NOS is pretty good and DAMMMNNN I felt THAT when it kicked in.......

So horridly expensive. I'll buy one if I ABSOLUTELY NEED TO BE AWAKE FOR THE NEXT HOUR and nothing else will do it (e.g. final exam and I haven't slept), but otherwise, meh.
