I like a double shot espresso latte in the morning, and that seems to have very little diuretic effect on me, as opposed to regular brewed coffee. Perhaps the milk content and the fact that espresso has less caffeine per serving than brewed coffee has something to do with it.

I use a high caffiene one like Red Bull before time trials, about 15 minutes before my start.
I use caffiene in the morning sometimes to kick-start my day... (coffee and milo - my daughter calls ita miloffee).
If i want energy though, I don't drink "energy drinks".
Like has been already said, caffiene based drinks are a quick boost, a kick-start... thats all. No long -term energy benefits to be had, but certainly a place for them.
Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".

I drink FRS in the mornings after I get up, then I switch to coffee at the office. A couple of FRS chews before riding and Powerade/water while riding.
