Energy shots?

[joneso11]

Are the energy shots such as 5-hour energy or verve completely unhealthy? would it be bad if I took one before a sport? What would you compare them to, like a can of soda or cup of coffee? what are your overall thoughts on these shot drinks?

it raises heart rate like all other caffienated goods so they are not good

Comparable to a strong cup of coffee, they are fine to take if you want/need the energy; caffeine pills are a cheaper option though.

I consider them a waste of money, because if I'm going to pay $2 to consume caffeine, I at least want to be able to sip on a halfway decent tasting drink. No, they are not healthy. And they're addictive. I'd rather drink black coffee or a diet rockstar if having very low calories is important to you.
