An article on Wednesday in The New York Times reported that the study had shown that 24 percent of those who used 5-Hour Energy suffered a “moderately severe” crash hours after consuming it. The study reported higher crash rates for Red Bull and Monster Energy.
Why do I crash after drinking an energy drink?
Energy drinks contain large amounts of caffeine and sugar, which boost your adrenaline, dopamine, and insulin levels, so when the caffeine and sugar leave your body, your hormone levels normalize, and this causes the fatigue known as the crash.
What happens if you chug 5-Hour Energy?
The answer to what would happen is, “nothing good,” said Kathleen Miller, an energy-drink specialist at the University at Buffalo Research Institute on Addictions. Five bottles of 5-hour Energy contain about 1,000 mg of caffeine — the equivalent of the caffeine in 10 cups of coffee.
