Energy Drinks: Yes or No?

I'm not a fan but each to their own. I just don't like the taste.

They can definitely be useful at times. I've had times where I had low energy and it has helped.

At most I drink 2 Monsters a year only because friends buy them for me. If I need to stay awake I'll just drink something with caffeine like tea, coffee or just take a caffeine pill. All of those are great alternatives to drinking something overloaded with sugar which is not healthy, not to mention whatever other ingredients they use. Caffeine is relatively healthy when taken on moderation.

Even then, I don't do those on a daily basis. Usually just working out in the morning before starting my day lets me coast through the rest of it with a lot of energy and a confidence-boost.

In the end though, taking energy drinks is just a way to solve the symptoms of a bigger issue without solving the issue itself. From what I've seen and from personal experience, it tends to be because of lack of sufficient sleep, a sedentary lifestyle, bad diet or stress.
I imagine that buying energy drinks for daily consumption is pretty bad for your finance too which might add more to your stress and therefore creates a cycle of you not having a lot of energy. I've seen people spend over $4 every day/$120 a month just on Starbucks coffee and I've always found that insane...

Those serve as a great pre-workout so yes

There is no healthy energy drinks, so you should not drink them just to drink them. Try to avoid them at any cost

I have a zero sugar/zero calorie Monster every day...

Am I going to die?

Yes, we will all die one day...

but on a serious note, you probably have less chance of dying from drinking the sugar free cans.

Why not just go above and just inject yourself an adrenaline boost everyday?

The thing that most people usually don't get is that "sugar free" doesn't mean healthy it just means it doesn't contains sucrose "table sugar" and it's usually replaced by artificial sweeteners.

[Helliskool]

Yes, during exam season lol

[Dainty]

I don't drink coffee, so Red bull is my go to if I need to stay awake

[trupperware]

Yes, but in moderation as with everything else.
