Beer :)

It contains lots of calories ;)

My First Thread Steal (TM) :D

I thought I'd create a thread about energy drink. The first energy drink I tried was a Red Bull, but didn't find that it was that particularly effective, and the taste sucked.

I drank a couple Sobe Essential Energy (orange), and the taste is quite good, and though they were not immediately effective, they were quite good for the long run. However, I haven't found them in four packs, and they are somewhat expensive.

I got me a 4 pack of No Fear, and the taste isn't quite as good as the Orange Essential Energy (though still quite good), and they are, in fact, quite power packed. Over 160 milligrams of caffeine per bottle, and 2000 milligrams of Taurine. It is....POWER!

So far, I'd have to say that the No Fear is my favorite.

What about y'all?

For flavor and effectiveness... Lipovitan (http://www.lipovitan.com/english/index.html)

You like bawls? Er, you don't suck bawls (Via straw), do you?

I don't use a straw, my lips work fine.

Coffee, with milk and sugar and, occasionally, a shot of chocolate.

Very nice.

Red Bull.

I don't drink it constantly though, I get it maybe once a month.

I hate energy drinks. I used to drink Red Bull but that was because I used to go to a club where they charged 70p for a vodka and red bull :D

Boring old coffee for me. Works well enough. :p

Those green Monster energy drinks. They taste and work fantastically.

Vodka.

Coffee and vodka work better than anything.

Energy drinks are gross.
The best energy booster is a solid sleep schedule.

I see...

*Takes notes.*

Extremely strong Earl Grey tea with a huge glob of wildflower honey.

Relentless is teh shit.

They also sponsor a Motorbike racing team from here (a road racing and BSB team), TAS Suzuki. That makes them even better.

Red Bull i guess even if it tastes like stale gummi bears

Tag. I love that stuff.

Amp or Amp overdrive. I am a Dew drinker so this is a natural fit.

My favourite is one marketed mainly in Australia and NZ called V (wiki link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_%28drink%29) - I took and uploaded the pic of the can btw). It is like Red Bull but actually tastes nice and also seems to energise me, placebonic or not.

Deepresso.

It energises & de-energises at the same time!

I love espresso.

jag bombs...

:D

T400 Energy.

Comes in 1.5l bottles and contains 30mg of caffeine and 400mg taurine per 100ml.

Pfft, you don't drink energy drinks, you inject them into a major vein. For that quick pick me up.

They all taste like shit... half of them look like piss... and that much caffeine might cause my heart to explode. I hate energy drinks...

Coffee. With no-doze.

Accelerade. http://www.accelerade.com/

The shit gets me buzzed and rehydrates during fencing bouts. Plus protein. All around performer.

The powder tastes horrible though. :p I'm looking for their new edible gel packs.

lol I gave up caffeine 3 weeks ago. I have suffered no loss in energy and I find that going to to sleep at night takes less time.

ooh mines cocaine

Monster. I prefer Assault flavor, but green is good too.

7up with cocaine and Viagra mixed in it.

Though I ordinarily just drink coffee if I feel the need for caffeine, a Red Bull keeps the unpleasant experience of chugging an energy drink as short as possible, and there's really no reason to fix what isn't broken, so why not go with the original.

good stuff

Caffeine has zero effect on me, so none of the above. They all taste like shit anyway. I'd chew qat before I'd quaff one of those again.

Given its apparent addictiveness, that stuff would probably put enegry drinks out of business if it were legal. :p

Anyway I'm not a big caffeine fan, either. I've tried Amp, only because it's a sort of condensed Mountain Dew, which I enjoy. :)

It is addictive, yes, but I hear it's similar in that regard to coffee. Stimulants have always intrigued me, but coffee is too weak (for most people) and doesn't work for me, and most others are too strong. Qat is the middle ground, which is why it interests me. Having a clear mind and doing math problems and so on effortlessly seems too cool.

Math problems are supposed to take effort? :confused:

I bet you're better at math after a full night's sleep and a good meal than otherwise, aren't you? Yeah, now extend that farther. You knew what I meant.

V for the win.

I knew what you meant, and I infact rather enjoy a good math challenge. I was just bragging about the fact it takes quite a bit before it's a challenge to me. :p I'm being conceited, you see.

Cheap substitute Red Bull from ASDA and Lidl. It's only about 25 pence a can, and tastes great.

Ach so!:)

red bull works. But I think this new "5hour energy" works the best for me. That stuff can keep me up for as long as I need.
