I play football competitively and during our training camps, we, of course, had three-a-days (three practices per day). I would take one (or even half) before each practice and I was much more energized even with less sleep. I would recommend this to anyone who plays any sport.

My wife and I recently took a trip from San Diego to Great Basin National Park in east-central Nevada. It's about a 750-mile drive and we attempted to do it in a day. On the way there, I was getting real drowsy by the time we got to Las Vegas and we still had another 5 hours of driving. We'd stopped at a truck stop for gas and I noticed the little bottles of "5-hour Energy" drink. I'd seen them advertised on TV but had never tried any kind of energy drinks. Being somewhat cautious, I sipped about half or the small bottle, saving the rest for later. Well, it seemed to work fine.
On the way back to San Diego, I was tired and drowsy right from the beginning. I was fighting sleep all the way from the park to Las Vegas, where we gassed up. Remembering the "5-hour energy" drink, I bought another little bottle for the seven-hour drive to San Diego. After driving for about an hour, I consumed the whole bottle. I was wide awake almost immediately. It was amazing! I still felt very tired, but I was awake and alert and remained that way for all the remaining drive to San Diego.
Other than the awakeness and alertness, I experienced no side effects at all. My wife hated the taste and said she would not drink it again, but then she wasn't the one who was driving. The taste seemed fine for me. Somewhat medicinal, perhaps, but no problem.
This stuff is effective! I'll now always have a couple bottles in my car for any long drive. It's expensive, but well worth it. The cost by the case, by the way, is substantially less than the cost of single bottles in the truck stops.

I am VERY sensitive to Caffeine. It can send me into a full blown anxiety attack. This product, for some reason had NO adverse effects for me. If this is usually an issue for you, I would suggest trying 1/2 a bottle and seeing how you tolerate it. I had energy. Since it has B12 vitamins in it, my mood was also enhanced. I felt excited and energetic. The berry flavor tastes like Crystal Light Pink Lemonade. Almost exactly like that. There was no crash AND I was able to sleep well that night. Sound too good to be true!? It was for me. I am SERIOUSLY trying to resist the urge to stock up and buy a whole case. This stuff is great. I was in a show with someone who had trouble focusing, was moody and forgetful. We were on stage and he was often a mess... One night he did an amazing job, and I asked him what was different... He said... I took a 5 Hour Energy drink. I was stunned and still not convinced... but saw the drink in a store and had to try it. WOW! That is all I can say! WOW! It's great!!!

I had to drive 500 miles and the drive began late in the day when I was already tired and on a full stomach from lunch. Needless to say I was feeling a bit drowsy. A friend of mine suggested I try the 5 Hour Energy, and incredibly, I was wide eyed and alert for the entire drive. The next day, I had to drive another 500 miles, and while it began earlier, I had a hard time sleeping. Maybe it was the effects of the 5 Hour Energy still affecting me, or maybe it was because of the loud noises at my hotel. Either way, I only had about 5 hours of rest, and I needed to cover 500 miles. So I drank a bottle at the beginning of my drive and sure enough, I made it the entire way. This is incredible for me as I have sleep apnea and although being treated with a CPAP machine, I still suffer from loss of energy throughout the day. This has been the ONLY product that keeps me alert. I do wonder what the health risks if any are though.

Aside from all the obvious advantages (size, taste, calories, sugar, etc.), the impact on my energy levels is far superior to any other energy product I have ever used (mostly coffee, red bull and rockstar). They truly last for a very long time and don't leave you feeling like garbage afterwards. A+
