Well? I'm not sure. 
I know they are unhealthy because your body basically runs faster and a lot better when you sleep, and power drinks ruins that.

I currently have 4 empty Monster: Energy pop bottles by my laptop. Is that a bad thing? =P

There is no debate. No power drinks aren't addicting...at least to me.

Some people become addicted to it like a drug...I never understood why. It doesn't affect me at all..

As you already know, it's unhealthy and can cause a dependency after awhile. You're better off drinking regular juice. Do you always drink energy drinks or is there a reason?

Wow I'm a natural insomniac...I don't need pills or energy drinks.

That red bull stuff is disgusting. Gatorade is great for a last resort....it kinda tastes like a diet flavored drink.

What kind of energy drink are you having?

YourMajestyKen : Same, but remember, I stayed up more than you. THAT is the reason for my assistance from the power drinks. 

I'm drinking Monster. Specifically, Monster Energy: Absolutely Zero. The blue layout is pretty cool >.>

I dislike energy drinks, but I see why people like them.

What you get addicted to specifically is the caffeine. It isn't the most addictive thing out there, but you CAN get addicted to it. Just be careful and don't go overboard is all.

Yep, I totally agree. However, I only drink them if I NEED or WANT to stay awake definitely.

I drink them on occasion.... and they can be very addictive to people. Just like coffee. Caffiene is addictive. No question about it.

Not to mention the excessive amount of sugar that some of them have. They're no good.

Now that I'm done saying that.... I drink them when I'm exhausted at work.

Yeah, they're helpful when you need to stay awake. 

In other cases, bad for you. =P

Addictiable because of the caffeine in it.

I thought they had caffeine in them? There is no way anyone can say that caffeine isn't addictive. It has been proven over and over again in clinical testing and I'm sure a lot of you know someone who "needs" coffee.

I know a guy who did racing and was sponsored by an energy drink company. He basically got as much free product as he wanted. By grade ten he couldn't function without having several energy drinks in a day. He told me he would get shakes and extremely exhausted if he didn't drink them. He was physically addicted to them since he had so many.

Annette : Woah, that's tough for him. That's a real withdrawal from caffeine. My dad "needs" coffee, but he's not actually addicted because I've seen him go days without it and no withdrawal symptoms. 

I only made this thread because I was curious about other people's responses to it.

I have a pretty bad addiction to them, Ive drank them daily for the past 8 months, and I have headaches and nosebleeds when I don't have them for a week or so.
So I'm a hardcore caffeine addict I guess.

Well, that's not a good thing.

I don't drink power drinks at all because they're filled with caffene which leads to an insane crash later. Caffene itself is addicting and you will suffer withdrawl if you get too addicted to it. So that's why I don't go there at all.

Nearly all energy drinks have caffeine in them, unless they state otherwise (like 5-hour energy). Caffeine is a narcotic, which by definition is addictive. Therefore, yes, energy drinks are addictive if there is caffeine present.

I think energy drinks are disgusting. Eck! I don't need energy drinks to keep going. Like YourMajestyKen. I'm insomniac too and you seen it for yourself. I'm up talking to you until it's like 4 or 5 in the morning. 

Drinking too much of it got to be bad for your health. I would lay off of it even if you only drink it on certain occasions. It will control you!! O_o Lol But yeah, it can be addicting if you allow it to consume you like that.
