Not that I recall, but Don might have more info than me if he is ex GSK! My guess would be that the first thing the body would do to an ice cold drink would be to warm it up to body temperature, and that uses energy. This would happen pretty quickly in the gut and therefore any benefit there...

I should have said that proper isotonic / hypotonic drinks are a different kettle of fish to the 'energy' drinks, many of them do actually have a lot of science behind them and will rehydrate you and replace lost salts very efficiently. Somewhere I have a summary of the clinical trials they did...

At last a topic I can contribute to with some measure of expert knowledge! I used to develop these drinks for a living.... 1. The only energy you will get out of an energy drink is from the sugar content. Low calorie energy drink is an oxymoron. 2. The only stimulant that actually works in...

Jeez i wish I'd never mentioned the homeopathy now, guaranteed to bring out the nutters..... 

Never shot Valley View, occasionally at Sywell, Doveridge and Kingsley Moor but mostly at haybalers and the club shoot I help to run.  One day I will have the time to shoot competitively but too much family stuff to do at the moment.

Well if you really want to know, I am guaranteed to be provoked by comments like 1) all haybalers are dangerous, their customers are idiots and the targets are all floppers; 2) nobody who is AA class or below has the right to an opinion and 3) homeopathy is real science.OK for starters?
