Health tip: Energy drink info

Sugar Equivalent: 6 Krispy Kreme Original Glazed Doughnuts

Isn’t it strange that it’s more natural to feel guilty about eating one or two doughnuts than it is to feel the same about drinking an energy drink? Turns out there’s actually six times more sugar in one Rockstar energy drink than there is in one Krispy Kreme doughnut.

Rockstar has 60 more calories than the same amount of Red Bull. If you’re going to pound back the energy drinks during study sessions, better to check out the other low-cal options.
