No surprise that the Energy drinks are unhealthy but this can't be to good for the title sponsor.
The Today Show
The Today Show
On a similar note, one of my good friends has diabetes. He drinks a Monster or 2 a day. He's still kickin'.
How is it the "FDA and manufacturing companys' fault that people binge drink and engorge themselves with any and everything they possibly can."
Ever heard of personal responsibility?
The Shop
No shit! The thing is that idiot lawyers and judges have taken that away so that if I drink 10 Monsters a day and get deathly sick, they are liable. Slip and fall on someone's sidewalk and you can sue them.

Wonder which ones are more likely to be watching The Today Show.
At any rate energy drinks suck...my personal favorite is when you watch the riders drinking out of an energy drink in the interviews and the can is either a) empty or b) filled with water.
i seriously wonder what would happen if the riders were to get off the track and pound a can of legitimate monster?
Anyhoo that is very bad publicity because it's bringing to lite the darkside of these drinks.
i havent had a energy drink in over a year.. and have no urge to drink one lol.
how quickly would motorcycle manufacturers be in the hot seat for the products they sell to those unwilling to be responsible for their own actions?
Pit Row
My first mountain bike race ever (2003?), I pulled off the course on the verge of death. On my way back to the truck there was a guy parked in the vendor area handing out a new product called Monster Energy drink. Energy drink, huh? Sounds like exactly what I need right now, and it looks awfully refreshing sitting there on ice. I drank it. That was the first and last time I have ever had an energy drink. I eventually puked from all the sugar, but even after puking I could not get my heart to settle down.
Manufacturers clearly exploit those drives to their advantage. If you look at how sugar effects the body chemistry, there's a good argument for classifying it as a drug not a food.
Wake up son. Shake off that feminization and sensitivity training.
Your brain&eyes run solely and exclusively on sugar. So, by your definition, you brain is on drugs 24/7. give me a break.
What's next? atmosphere being classified as a fire hazard?
Go Google 'effects of sugar on the brain/body' and read a couple dozen studies for a few hours then come back and mock me.
-TV
-Sex
-riding
-shopping
-video games
large segments of the population have a propensity for addiction to any one of these things. Would you think for a moment to classify any one as a drug?
Addictive capability does not a drug make. they all affect dopamine just as sugar does. The difference is; you will DIE without sugar.
