I just drank 2 5 hour energy drinks and i was wondering if that was a bad idea? 1 just doesn't do it for me!?

Answer 1

really it was a bad idea

Answer 2

Well Red Bull recommends only 1 to 2 a day. Even the 2nd largest selling energy drink, which is the 1st and largest healthy energy drink, XS Energy suggests only 1 and recommends against more than 2 of theirs a day. Even though we can have 2 it simply is not meant to have 2 at a time. That is too much caffeine at once.

Caffeine dehydrates. With regular energy drinks we must drink water to with it, or within 30 minutes to offset the dehydrating effects. The 5 Hour is much worse cause it is a shot not a drink so it has much less water than a regular energy drink or XS Energy for that matter.

Drink more water. It is a natural energizer on it's own. When we are not hydrated enough we feel tired. There simply is no reason why you should have to drink 2 energy drinks to get a boost. Better yet switch to XS because they have 3 caffeine free flavors. All 13 of their drinks taste much better than regular energy drinks and definitely much, much better than 5 hour energy.
