Why do Rockstar Energy Drinks effect my mood?

Q: I feel like I can’t get going when I wake up (whether it’s 5 am or noon) unless I have a rockstar or an amp. The problem is that it keeps me up ALL night, literally, no matter what time I drink it. It makes me really moody at the end of the day as I try to sleep but can’t, even though I’m tired.I can’t get myself moving and awake unless I drink one and I was addicted for a while, but I literally feel like I’m drunk on energy drinks. It’s worse than alcohol. I need it to be awake, but it makes me so moody at night and it makes me restless.Why is this? Are there better alternatives? I’ve never been a morning person so this USED to be a miracle worker for me but now it’s actually effecting relationships.I know about crashes, which I wouldn’t even mind if I COULD crash. I just “crash” but can’t sleep. I can’t stop moving and thinking at the end of the day. I don’t have this problem when I don’t drink them, but it’s like I have to choose not being able to sleep at night, or not being able to move through out the day. I never could get moving before and after I started drinking them it was great. Now I can’t figure out an alternative to energy drinks that will keep me moving throughout the day but allow me to sleep at night without hours of restlessness beforehand.

A: it has caffeine, guarana, ginsing, milk thistle, taurine, and sugarand it usually comes in a 16 ox container Which means the amounts and mix are GOING TO KEEP YOU AWAKE.from wikipedia”Rockstar can cause jitteriness, anxiety, and high blood sugar levels. If mixed with alcohol it can lead to heart failure and may also mask the level of alcohol intoxication. Because of the diuretic effect of caffeine, Rockstar can exacerbate dehydration.”How about – if you take about 2 sips to wake you up in the morning. that might be enough to wake you up without keeping you awake all night.other than that, you are describing a true addiction- and caffeine alone is addictive.the fact that it is effecting your relationships is another reason to believe it is a true addiction.if you drink that at al, you are going to need a lot of water over the day to compensate.

why are energy drinks bad for you?

Q: i need energy drinks cuz i need energy every day, but i heard it is bad for your body, i kno it has alot of sugar, but i need the energy, im 13 i always go 2 skool tired and ever since i dranked a rockstar i have been up and ready for skool, should i keep drinking energy drinks?

A: Sounds like everybody that’s answered so far pretty much agrees that you shouldn’t be drinking energy drinks. It does sound like you are not getting enough vitamins, so try taking a teen multivitamin, as well as eating more fruits and vegetables, more whole grains, cutting back on sugary stuff (candy, soda, gum, etc.), and get more exercise (try playing Dance Dance Revolution if you don’t want to give up your video games). Drink more water, for you probably about 5 20-oz. bottles a day (just grab one and keep refilling it at water fountains). The water thing is a very hard habit to get into, but after a week or two you will start to crave water like it’s crack. Try apples, oranges, and nuts for snacks, eat a bowl of oatmeal or grits for breakfast, a ham or turkey sandwich on wheat or whole-grain white bread for lunch (don’t drench the sandwich in mayo or mustard or whatever you put on it), and eat some grilled chicken with whole kernel corn or some type of beans, a dinner roll, and broccoli for dinner (just a sample menu). Another thing that you’re probably not going to like (because i KNOW I didn’t in high school) is GET MORE SLEEP. Go to bed an hour or two earlier and wake up half and hour earlier and EAT BREAKFAST. I’m not going to lie; it is extremely hard to get into habits like these, but it’s well worth it. And to answer your question about energy drinks, they are not regulated by the FDA because they are considered to be in a category of supplements; that is, they are generally “natural” medicines that don’t make any claims about curing any disease/disorder/condition. They are loaded with unnecessary amounts of caffeine, guarana and taurine (both of which contain very high amounts of caffeine), sugar, and food additives. Sugar (in anything; not just energy drinks) causes all kinds of wonderful problems, mainly making your pancreas work overtime to try to regulate your blood sugar levels, which is why diabetics can’t have sugar (their pancreas doesn’t work right; it won’t produce enough insulin to get rid of all the sugar in your blood). This makes you gain weight, makes your heart work harder to pump your thickened blood (which causes major heart problems that you don’t notice now, but you definitely will later on in life), and makes you fatigued (way beyond tired), among other problems that you can read about elsewhere (try the Mayo Clinic website–very good source).So in the end, do what you parents, doctors, teachers, etc. have been telling you for years: eat your fruits and veggies, exercise, drink more water, and cut the crap (out of your diet and your attitude).*note to you*: as a 21-year-old college student that just recently took this advice to heart, i can definitely tell you that they were right all along. . .*darn it*.
