Habit forming use of 5HE probly isnt good for you, just like anything in excess isn't. But that shiz has saved my life a few times both preventing dozing at the wheel, and just getting through a work/school day with a good attitude.

That said my diet is terrible when I fish. Usually all fast food, coffee, trail mix. Things gotta change before all that stuff starts catching up to me

something clever and related to fishing

What I love about the 5 hour energy drink story is the story stating that the link is "possible".

What they don't (or won't) disclose is that probably ALL the cases involved a person taking MORE than the recommended dose, usually because they were drunk/drinking and thought that taking 2 or more "doses" would counteract the alcohol/drugs.

Basically they OD on energy drink.

What I find ironically funny is that no other energy drink ad states the key statement that 5 Hour Energy does: "Try a little to see if you like it!" (How many energy drink ads advocate NOT drinking the hole can/bottle?)
If that doesn't sound like responsible marketing I don't know what does.

Like I said, the problem stems from abuse and misuse than just regular use.

Here's the thing that gets me...

If there is any loose correlation between 5 hour energy and those deaths, the company will be sued and the product likely forced off the market. With that in mind, how many deaths are *directly linked* to smoking or alcohol every single minute? The hypocrisy is excruciating within our society is excruciating.
