These things are pretty good.
It also seems like a more natural way to help focus/energy then pills.

I'd buy them if they weren't so expensive.

5 hour Energy and drinks like it are very useful to me when I'm trying to reset my sleeping schedule. It seems that when I'm not involved in any sort of diurnal institution for a long span of time, I always go nocturnal. Powerful energy drinks help me to stay awake during the day so that I can crash when night falls.

I don't need energy drinks to help me keep going.
Its either water, or tea for me.

I used to drink energy drinks to get high, before this June came to a close and summer started. I don't need to be getting high, right now. I need to be dealing with my mixed emotions.

Caffeine pills aren't any less natural and you can buy 200 for $4. 5 hour energy is up to five or more dollars per serving so i ts realluy a waste of money. It's one of the biggest ripoffs vie ever seen. It's 200 times more expensive WTF?

I need 5 hour sleep drinks. I've never had probs staying up through the day, i need cheep gas station drinks that'll help me fall asleep faster than 2 hours and stay asleep longer than 4.

I've always wondered what we did 10 years ago before all these energy drinks because right now there are people who swear on them to get by day-to-day. I was moving cross country once, 2 day drive, and was super excited and got no sleep and bought some caffeine pills at a truck stop. Those things made me high, felt like I was dreaming and on cloud 9 rest of the day, did not like.

Also, that company is making money hand over fist, way overcharging the stuff, so why can't they spend a few extra grand to get someone to do their advertising? I'm pretty sure it's gotta be done by like an owner's nephew or something cause I get embarrassed by how bad they are when I see commercials and print ads. They are so amateur.

Dude, alex i agree , and , im sure you probly kniow.. but 5hr energy is all but vitamin b6 and b12..? cyanobalamin... a nd a shedload of it, the s**t that turns ur piss neon yellow lol. and its basically the same as taking a bunch of that 1 multi vitamin but in liquid form... it helps you burn the food that you eat, giving you energy thru digesting the food quicker? right? er something like that.. but ya even 2$ is too much for 1 pill of vitamin, / drink LOL


but 5$.. i wish i created that s**t, and got well, not stupid but gullable people to buy it... :( and non.. reading lable peple..

i READ labels like crazy.. im obsessive about reading labels, i wont open anything before ive read and scanned the ingredients list on anyTHING,

it became so obsessive that i know alot about all the wierd small things that are in things most all people eat everyday


i thought being a food chemist would be a fun careeer since ive been reading labels sicne i was 11, but i suck balls at chemistry, and everything else related to school for that matter, im jus good at ... self learning, school is too distracting and its the only way to get companies to hire you.. lame i hate it

Like ludog posted above, all it is is 2000% of the recomended daily allowance of a couple of B vitamins, which anything over what your body actually uses is excreted in your urine... a waste in more ways than one....

All the people I know who have tried it have gotten sick from it.
