I’m well over the age of most energy drinkers and every day, about 10 am, I really look forward to my energy drink. I used to look forward to a cup of tea, but not anymore.

So, why do people want energy drinks now, instead of the old soft drink for teenagers or a cup of tea or coffee (for “older” people)? These are the reasons I think people drink energy drinks -

• Some of them (not all) taste better than tea or coffee.
• They (some of them) give more of a boost of energy.
• They are more convenient to drink while playing sport (imagine walking round a golf course with a cup of coffee or grabbing a coffee in a short break from playing).
• It’s more cool to drink energy drinks.
• They can help sports people and athletes to get that extra boost of energy just before they play/compete. A cup of tea or coffee takes too long to drink, and the energy boost doesn’t really last.
• A few of them provide healthy nutrients as well as an energy blend, so you don’t need to take vitamins separately

Love to hear your reason for drinking an energy drink..
