A few weeks ago, my sister received 2 bottles of the 5-hour Energy drink. She would keep telling me that if I ever needed to stay awake (which often times I d0), I could have one of her bottles.

First, let met tell you that they now come in flavors such as Cherry and Orange. You can find more information by visiting: http://www.5hourenergy.com/index.asp. It seems to be a very informative website- which I love. If it wasn't informative, I would have thought something was wrong.

Now, it's time for my experience with the energy drink. Tonight, I decided to take her Orange flavor, because her significant other chose the other one earlier in the day. So, I open it up and take a big swig of it. Let me just tell you now that the orange flavor tastes like very bitter and hot apple juice. I try to take another one, but it just tasted so bad that I couldn't. I ended up giving the rest to my sister. I don't even think she liked that flavor too much! So now we know that we won't choose that flavor, unless we put in the refrigerator first... then maybe, just maybe, it'll taste better.

I must say that it does give you that energy quickly!! It will allow you to get things done quick! Right now, I feel like doing cartwheels even though I know i'll break a bone or something in the house! I mean, don't you have times when you have no energy to even get off the couch? 5-Hour Energy can help with that!


There is 1 side effect: Stomach aches! If you've never had an energy drink, this might be the reason, or the Niacin that is also in it. There is a CAUTION disclaimer on there, so before drinking it, read that and then decide if it's for you. If you believe you have an allergic reaction to the Niacin, you might want to try some vitamin water (which I love!!.)

So, the 5-Hour Energy drink receives 4 out of 5 stars. I think that's pretty good, don't ya think?
