Energy drinks are counter intuitive.

The first thing to understand is there is no such thing as a “sugar rush” in the sense of gaining a burst of energy. The crash though, is very real.

Your body has not evolved to process that much sugar, so it tries to store it, which itself is energy intensive, so consuming large amounts of sugar will make you lethargic.

If you need the burst of energy in the morning, drink black coffee. You’ll learn to love it as your palette develops.
