Energy drinks (red bull) before jogging. Good idea?

[zasterguava]

I had a red bull tonight and for the first time in a while it made me motivated to go on a jog which I enjoyed and didn't get cramp or stich- which is rare. Are drinks like Red Bull or Lucozade good for taking before exercise or over the long-term is it a bad idea? Ive heard contrasting opinions and its hard to find an unbias answer from websites.

Thanks
