We use XS (which is a healthy alternative to the other energy drinks - 0 carbs, 0 sugar) and have it shipped to our resort. XS shots are also available.

.....They sell them in GNC stores so to me that means they arent "bad" for you.

I have High Blood Pressure, so can I use 5 hour?

I presume you are treating your HBP. Ask your medical provider about taking 5 Hour, not a bunch of strangers who don't know your personal health condition.

GNC is a vitamin store "General Nutrition Center" not a normal drug store. They dont sell red bull and all the other energy drinks out there that have a ton of sugar in them and that make your heart race....5 hour energy is the only thing ive found that works but doesnt make me jittery and weird feeling.

If you want/need energy, get a good night's sleep, eat a balanced diet & exercise appropriately. 5 Hr Energy drinks are basically a big old shot of caffeine (if you read the very tiny disclaimer on their commercials the crash they refer to you not getting is a sugar crash which you don't get because their product jacks you up on caffeine not sugar). Drinking any caffeinated product will do the same, 5 hr is just super concentrated. And to those who drink Mountain Dew - more caffeine than coffee or tea!!!

. And to those who drink Mountain Dew - more caffeine than coffee or tea!!!

Other data on caffeine:

Cup of coffee 90-150 mg
Instant coffee 60-80 mg
Tea 30-70 mg
Mate 25-150 mg
Cola 30-45 mg
Chocolate bar 30 mg
Stay-awake pill 100 mg
Vivarin 200 mg
Cold relief tablet 30 mge

according to the label Mt Dew has 36mg of caffeine per 8 fl oz which puts it in the middle of the cola pack

Ugh, I so agree. I hate Coke and I go through withdrawal at WDW! haha


Do those 5 hour shots compare to Red Bull? I really try not to drink energy drinks often but when I'm at Disney I basically make myself go until my feet refuse to move.

I drank a 5 hr energy the other day and let me tell ya, it didn't last 5 hrs. I got a burst for about 30 min and then gone. It is really nice though because you dont have to drink all that liquid like you would in a cup of coffee or rockstar etc. Maybe it caught me on an off day, I would try it again.
