Energy drinks for training, work and busy days
Energy drinks offer a quick, ready-to-drink source of caffeine with no scooping, mixing or preparation. Whether you want something cold before training, an afternoon pick-me-up or a convenient option for a long day, there are plenty of flavours, caffeine levels and sugar-free choices to suit different routines.
Not every energy drink is the same. Some are built around a stronger caffeine hit, others focus on lower calories or sugar-free formulas, and can sizes can vary considerably. The best choice is the one that fits how and when you plan to use it.
How to choose an energy drink
Start with the caffeine level
This is one of the biggest differences between energy drinks. Some cans are relatively moderate, while others contain considerably more caffeine. Choose based on your own tolerance rather than automatically reaching for the strongest option.
Regular or sugar-free?
If calories or sugar intake matter to you, sugar-free formulas give you plenty of choice without changing the basic convenience of the drink. Regular energy drinks may suit people who specifically want the carbohydrate and calorie content as well as caffeine.
Think about can size
A larger can doesn't necessarily mean a proportionally stronger drink. Compare the total caffeine in the complete can, especially when looking at different brands and formats.
Choose a flavour you'll enjoy
Energy drinks now come in everything from classic citrus and berry flavours to tropical, candy-inspired and limited-edition options. Once you've found a caffeine level that suits you, flavour is a perfectly good reason to choose one product over another.
Think about when you'll drink it
A caffeinated drink can work well before training or during a busy day, but caffeine later in the evening may interfere with sleep for some people. Timing matters just as much as the amount.
Singles or multipacks?
Single cans are useful for trying new flavours, while multipacks can make more sense if you've already found a favourite. Compare the price per can rather than the total pack price alone.
Energy drinks vs pre-workout
Energy drinks
Energy drinks are ready to drink and usually built around caffeine, flavour and convenience. They're easy to grab from the fridge and don't require a shaker or any preparation.
Pre-workout powders
Pre-workouts are usually mixed with water and often contain a broader sports-nutrition formula alongside caffeine. If you're mainly looking for a convenient caffeine drink, an energy drink may be simpler; if you want a more complex pre-training formula, pre-workout may suit you better.

Energy drink questions
What do energy drinks actually do?
Most energy drinks contain caffeine, which can help increase alertness and improve concentration when the applicable conditions for those claims are met. Different drinks can also contain sugar, sweeteners, vitamins and other ingredients depending on the formula.
How much caffeine is in an energy drink?
It varies significantly by brand and can size. Some energy drinks contain relatively modest amounts while others are much stronger, so check the total caffeine in the complete can rather than assuming they're all similar.
Are sugar-free energy drinks caffeine-free?
No. “Sugar-free” refers to the sugar content, not caffeine. Many sugar-free energy drinks contain the same or similar caffeine levels as their regular versions.
Are sugar-free energy drinks lower in calories?
Usually, yes. Replacing sugar with low-calorie sweeteners generally reduces the calorie content considerably, but check the nutrition information for the specific drink you're considering.
Can I drink an energy drink before the gym?
Energy drinks are commonly used before training because they're convenient and often contain caffeine. Check the caffeine in the can and take into account any pre-workout, coffee or other caffeinated products you've already had that day.
What's the difference between an energy drink and pre-workout?
An energy drink is supplied ready to drink and is usually centred around caffeine and flavour. Pre-workout is normally a powdered sports supplement mixed with water and can contain a wider range of ingredients alongside caffeine. Which is better depends on what you're looking for.
Can I drink an energy drink and take pre-workout?
Both can contain significant amounts of caffeine, so combining them can quickly increase your total intake. Check the caffeine content of both products before using them together.
When is the best time to drink an energy drink?
That depends on why you're using it. Some people have one before training, while others use them during work or study. If you're sensitive to caffeine, avoid having one too close to bedtime.
