I will report back on the experiment, however.

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.
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).
