I would say that coca-cola/gatorade would be a better alternative. For one thing, individuals with heart problems can actually have heart attacks from energy drinks. Secondly, they can stop people from sleeping and if taken on a regular basis they can damage health in the long run (although this is true for any unhealthy substances [i.e., french fries and pizza =P]) If you want to be sure, I would recommend just going for a coca-cola…

I’m a kickboxing instructor as well as an Advanced Green belt in American Kempo. I lift weights 5 times a week and I feel that after a long days work, Drinking a bottle of Redline Extreme not only makes me stronger, it allows me to lift longer.
