Sadly none of the qualities of a healthy life apply to me so my post was made partly in jest and just to be contrary to the energy drink fans.

The first time I tried a 5-hour energy was last semester before an exam and it made me feel alert and coherent. I did pretty well on the test, to the point that I felt it might be cheating. A week ago was the second time I took a 5-hr energy before a test, and I think the questions I had about the possible performance gain messed with my head and I was jittery and nervous throughout the test.

Next time I think I'll drink one an hour before a test instead of 5 minutes before, to let the nerves calm down a bit.
