I've noticed a few off topic comments in other threads about energy drinks and they they're really not good. Can I ask for those in the know, what really is the issue with them. At the moment I do have an energy drink sometimes to pick me up pre-workout - is this really a bad idea?

It's just caffeine.
If you're drinking 10 of them a day then I'd probably be a little concerned, but a pre-workout energy drink is similar to a big cup of coffee. I guess the sugar in them would be a little bit detrimental to your caloric intake goals, especially if you're on a cut, but even then drinking one is still not the end of the world.

Monster now makes a drink called absolutely zero. It has zero cals, zero sugar, and 1g of carb per serving. (serving size of 2) But it tastes like the lo-carb version just not as sweet. I love the taste and drink one before the gym a lot.

Like anything else, no reason they can't be used in moderation.Originally Posted by wildy5

if you need an energy drink to get through your workout your diet or sleep is not what it needs to be

^Dude, that link is awesome. Do you know if it accounts for the other ingredients/variables or if it is simply concerning the amount of caffeine in each can?
