Energy Drinks

You know, Red Bull/Rockstar/Amp/etc

Whats the deal with these? Is it worth it to take these before intense weight lifting and/or cardio? What sort of time frame is there before the caffeine/sugars hit you and then wear off? Some of the drinks have both simple and complex carbs, will this keep you going for awhile?

Would like to know what the "experts" think before I experiment.

I have just started drinking a redbull before my workout. Another good ingredient it contains is taurine. I just read an interesting article in 'Muscle & Fitness' magazine condoning the use of these drinks before a workout. I'll post an excerpt from this article later.

Pick some up at your nearest supplement dealer while you can.

The stuff will kick your ass!!! Gives me a massive rush, Red Bull and that crap just don't compare.
