Energy drinks are bad for athletes who are getting ready to train or compete-too much caffeine. For re hydrating nothing beats good old h2o or a “thirst quencher” that replaces electrolytes.
Energy drinks are great if you’re trying to beat a hang over and sober up. If you take until the 3rd quarter to sober up you may want to try an energy drink (the story in Pittsburgh is\was that Bobby Layne starting playing his best in the 3rd qtr-because that’s when he was sober).

If Energy drinks are bad, why the heck is the market for it growing like crazy in this country ?

I don’t get it.

Won’t take long before Obama regulates the thing as a drug.

Caffeine is a diuretic. Too much before a long workout or game could cause a problem from dehydration.
