Are energy drinks the right or wrong solution to feel good?

Q: I know they’re known as dangerous, helpful, good and bad, and things like that. People say they’re not as dangerous as doctors say and that they aren’t that bad. Are they worth it for things like before a high school exam, a party that lasts under 2:00 AM(note: I do that once a year), a game of sports, and things like that. If they’re not good tell me some details. If they’re OK (which I want to hear) explain how. Thanks.

A: They contain caffeineThe most common stimulant, found in coffee, Coke and Mountain Dew. Found in much higher quantities in energy drinks. Most energy drinks contain between 70 and 200 mg. An 8 oz cup of coffee contains 110-150mg for drip, 65-125mg for percolated, and 40-80 mg for instant. Dr. Pepper gives you 41mg, and a can of Coke provides 34mg. A full can of RockStar has 160mg. Caffeine stimulates the central nervous system giving the body a sense of alertness. It can raise heart rate and blood pressure while dehydrating the body. A lot of people experience side effects above 200mg, which include sleeplessness, heart palpitations, headaches, nausea, and most commonly the jitters.To read the rest look athttp://www.energyfiend.com/energy-drink-ingredients

Girls, does it make you mad when guys talk about sports nonstop?

Q: first of all, i can only name like two athletes and i know nothing about what position they play or even what sport they play for that matter. lol and i really don’t care enough to learn. what makes me mad is when you have guys that don’t even play any sports themselves, yet that’s all they have to talk about. i think it’s different if they brought it up for a few minutes then moved on. but i’ve heard guys sit around and talk about nothing else but sports for hours without changing the subject even once. i just think that it’s overrated and people spend way to much time, energy, and money on it. i wouldn’t pay a penny to sit there and watch some one throw a ball across a field then run with it. it would bore me to no end. so if there’s any guys reading this make sure you ask a girl if she’s interested in sports first before you take her on a date to a game. this has happened to me and it was the worst night of my life… a bunch of drunk people screaming in my ears jumping up and down and making the bleachers shake over big over-paid guys wearing tight clothes running across a field and jumping in mud for a ball. how exciting, most amazing thing i ever saw (sarcastic). i dumped his ass. lol so now when guys ask me who my favorite sports team is, instead of making up sh*t and trying to impress them and act like i know what i’m talking about, i tell them the truth which is i don’t like sports. most of them look at me like i’m crazy, but i don’t care. i hate sports and that’s that and i won’t put up with guys who have nothing better to talk about.lmao. then why are you on here? don’t YOU have anything better to do?

A: well, pretty much all guys like sports. it’s one of their main topics of conversation. i, personally, could care less about which team is my favorite and whether or not they win or lose. i don’t know how some people get so into it. they look so funny yelling at or talking to the tv and commenting about things under their breath while they are watching sports. i used to really hate sports. not only did i suck at softball and basketball and soccer and floor hockey and well, pretty much any other sport we played in gym class, i thought watching it was sooo boring. the only reason i liked going to baseball games (like MLB pro games) was because of the food there 🙂 my dad and my twin sis were so into it and i just counted down the innings til we could leave. then, i started actually watching some of it, and it wasn’t so bad. it was actually pretty easy to get competitve about it and it turned out to be actually fun! i still don’t understand their positions and the rules and all that jazz, but i’m learning a little more each year. i see why people enjoy it, but what i don’t get is the people who obsess over it. like why do people feel so loyal to “their baseball/football/basketball/w.e. team” that they actually fight about whose better. how did they ever even start loving the mets/yankees/brewers/white sox/cubs/red sox anyways? and they refer to it as “my team.” and they watch the games every day/week. i don’t know. it’s just a sport. it’s a game. it’s not that big of a deal, yet people are spending all this money of fan stuff, like tshirts and hats and whatever and all this time talking about it. i explained that i don’t actually even care about sports and don’t really want to learn the rules of the games and all that to my dad and my dad told me that i better learn the rules of these sports because guys like talking about sports. like, my view is that it’s okay to talk about it sometimes and it’d be fun to go to a game every once in awhile, but talking about it for hours on end and debating about players and trades and plays that happened in the game and stats and blah blah blah is just so boring. but, to be honest, if a guy didn’t talk about sports AT ALL, i’d be a little worried.. and if they love a team or sport a lot, atleast it shows passion and it could be fun to get competitive about it sometimes. 🙂
