  Be sure to rule out the 'sugar rush' effect. Not that your ~150 millilitre (or just over 5 fl oz) drink is the world's worst in that respect - it weighs in at around 4 teaspoons of sugar, based upon my googling. Some energy drinks have more. It's still the sugar equivalent of having a small cup of tea/coffee/water, and stirring in 4 sugars. If chugged down quickly, that's quite a hit! Even if not, it's still more sugar rich than most things you'll intake in your day-to-day. Your experience may well be due in part or whole to taurine, I can't say. But parents of young children everywhere can attest to the effect of one overly sugary serving resulting in quite a bit of resultant hyperactivity and mood change over the following hours. So your experiments may benefit from some controls in that respect.

    It was a sugar-free monster. Drinking or eating other sugar rich products do not have the effect.

      That's great, then. It seems like, depending on how knowledge develops, taurine may become quite the popular product. As a person in a not-dissimilar situation - thanks a lot for posting.

      I'm not sure what your original post said, but more a response to the other commentor on "chugging down quickly". Note that energy drinks have caffeine, and if you consume a lot of caffeine in a short time it can be fatal. For anyone wanting to consume taurine, you can simply buy taurine. No need to drink energy drinks which I'm sure aren't super healthy (even without sugar).
