As mentioned, price is typically about 40-50% less than you would pay for in most places (ususally $2.50-$3.00 vs Sam's ~ $1.50/bottle). I was never a caffeine user because I don't like coffee. However, I work 24 hour shifts and have a 90 mile drive home after that. This and other similar products by Monster, etc., helps me to drive safely home without feeling drowsy at the wheel - and yet I'm still able to sleep when I get home. By the way, there is no scientifically demonstrated - "sugar crash." Thus, this claim is essentially vacuous. Some people might, however, experience a "crash" after the caffeine effects wear off. Also, the Berry flavor at least tastes better than the grape flavor in my opinion. Haven't tried the other flavors.

This is by far the best energy drink I've ever used. Great before a workout. The extra strength version makes me jittery but maybe it would be Okay if I just consumed 1/2 a shot at a time. Shipping was expensive on this, over $9, and it took 8 days to get it delivered to Orange County, CA. It shipped from Texas. Weird, you'd think Sams Club would have a distribution center in California. Bought it as a gift for a friend.

5 hour energy drink is the bum! This drink is wonderful for those days when you have no energy due to late nights, up with a child all night or school project. You have great energy for a full 5 hours and you slowly come down from the energy boost with no harsh side effects. Wonderful product.

Recently I returned to the work force after being a stay-at-home mom for over two years. I am not going to lie, I have been doing this work thing for almost two months now and it has not gotten any easier but rather seems to more difficult. The biggest problem I have is lack of energy. Sitting at a desk for 8 hours then having to drive to work in traffic to get home to cook and play with my little guy takes a lot of energy and I obviously don't get enough sleep because I also have to spend time with the hubby and catching up on my shows. I have tried several energy pick me ups over the years, especially during those late nights in college when I was cramming for a test or needed to finish a paper but have found that they all make me feel weird and I don't like the jittery, lack of concentration feeling they give you then followed with a serious crash when they wear off. So, when I was presented with the opportunity to try 5-hour ENERGY I was a little hesitant but the one day driving home from work and I had to pull off the freeway because I was falling asleep did it for me. I need to try something!!! 5-hour ENERGY does EVERYTHING it says it is going to do! It gives you a sudden burst of energy that lasts with you and when it has filtered through your blood stream you don't experience a sudden crash. It did not feel like I had taken anything but rather made me feel like I had just woken up from a nice nap and was ready to take on the day! Plus it actually tasted good! I tried the Berry Flavor and it didn't leave an aftertaste or yucky taste like others have. The secret behind 5-hour ENERGY is that it is made from everyday key ingredients that are found in your everyday foods (which truthfully we don't get enough of) with an added bonus of caffeine but no more than what you would find in your own cup of coffee. This is by far the best pick me up ANYONE can use safely and take my word for it, you will not feel any side effects.

I've bought this for years then found it at Sam's club, it is so much cheaper here then gas stations and stores, even better when they put it on sale, I have a very active granddaughter so this is a great boost.

This is essentially a huge dose of Vitamin B. You feel normal (as in awake, not sleepy). It doesn't have side effects as it wears off. Almost no caffein.

I did not like having to buy the 2 12-packs of 5 Hour energy instead of being able to buy the 10 packs because if you buy more than 1 your paying more money for less bottles of the energy drink.

Been using this product for 12 years. I can't ever remember a time when it did not perform to my satisfaction.

Works great for me. It gives me energy before workout. Hard to drink at room temp. I refrigerate before drinking and it tastes much better.

Theres not a better product to keep you alert and ready to go. I drink the berry and my husband drinks the pomegranate.
