If you want more energy, you are much better off drinking purified water than drinking coffee, colas, and even canned or bottles energy drinks. Many of them are high in sugar, caffeine or artificial sweeteners that can have long term side effects. And hey, water is a lot cheaper too.
Secondly, eliminate all processed and artificial sugar from your diet. Do this not only in your "energy" drinks, but in your snacks as well. Sugar raises havoc with your blood sugar levels as do other refined carbohydrates such as white flour (pastas) and rice.
To sustain your energy all day long eat whole, natural and preferably raw foods.
