Anyone try these? I drink one or so every week...I'm starting to wonder what the negative effects are to such an overdose of b vitamins and other the other stuff I can barely pronounce.

They are fine.
I love them myself I get an odd feeling from them, almost like I'm coming up on MDMA or LSD without the actual psychedelic effects, feels like the same energy rush I get from those substances.

Energy drinks are horrible for you. They are full of all the worst liquid shit you could possibly put in your body. The amounts of caffeine and sugar itself is bad enough. The other chems are mostly caffeine/sugar synthetics with pretty names to impress you and maybe a bit of 'vitamins'.

They are fine.
Thanks for the advice dude. Would you care to share your advice on the flavors of donuts i should eat for breakfast?
Energy drinks are shit. Stay away from them unless described like on the bottle...."in cases where alerteness is needed during extreme fatigue". That means driving home after 12hours of construction work so you don't kill yourself or other people maybe.

Tak you're gonna try and convince me that any current 'fake' sugar is better than real sugar? (except for stevia....which is probably not used in any energy drink)
Anyway, sugar is just one thing. The rest is still total shit.

they put so much in so that you can actually absorb some of it. With the amount that is in those things, i would make a WAG (wild ass guess) that at least 50% of those chemicals pass right through, and come out as urine later. Its been proven long ago, that they 100% values of 30 different vitamins/minerals/hemicals in multivitamins definitely do NOT supply 100% of your need for those, your body can only abosorb this stuff so fast.
Are they GOOD for you though, i wouldn't think so, but they are no more good for you than they are BAD for you.
peace

i have had powder mixers w/ boat loads of B vitamins, niacin and potassium. it would kill a hangover like that. throw in the taurine for an extra kick in this shit actually seems like it could work.

I thought the excess B-vitamins are water soluble and simply pass through the urine. Isn't that why it turns a bright yellow/greenish color?
