Energy drinks and you.

Grandaddy Delicious

Being that I work the late shift all the time, I survive exclusively on energy drinks. I'm sure that we have soft drink and energy drink connoisseurs on this board (Penguin Incarnate comes to mind), so I'd like to exchange energy drink recommendations.

First and foremost, I thrive on No Fear. I go through two cans a day of this stuff. It doesn't have that nasty syrup taste, and it drinks better than most sodas.

I would drink bawls, as that is my absolute favorite energy drink, but there is no place in Eastern Tennessee that carries this sweet, sweet elixir.


While you should always be open to new kinds of energy drinks, do not, under any circumstances try Steven Segal's energy drink which, by taste alone, I have deduced is made from a combination of Segal Sweat and Satan Spunk.



And yes, it does have a portrait of him on the bottom of the can, pre-double chin.

P.S. I haven't made a thread in weeks, and I really wanted energy drink recommendations.

Energy drinks are for dumbs.

Edit: This is really my opinion, not some generic shoot-down-whatever-thread post.

I don't care for the stuffs.

I drink tea.

Better solution: Better sleep schedule. I work a late shift, my day consists of waking at 730am to go to class and getting home at 1130pm. I rarely drink energy drinks except on finals week.

What kind of tea you drink shimmity?

I'm sippin a tazo

I drink water and if I am still really tired I take a nap.

I feel healthy decisions like this are good counterbalance to subsisting almost entirely on chicken and beef burgers.

I'm a big fan of sugar free red bull. They're like 10 calories, and because they're sugar free you don't get a crash.

If I drink that Steven Segal energy drink, will my eyes go all squinty and will I get the ability to beat the shit out of mobs of people then blow up oil refineries?

i used to drink amp and pirahna and rockstar just all the time, like two a day, but now one or two coffees every couple of days has me covered

also when i had bad insomnia and worked in a grocery store as a teenager i made my own energy drink by dumping some coffee beans in a dr. pepper and putting some ice on top of the beans

it was surprisingly tasty

No, mostly you will feel like you gave a rimjob to tubgirl.

Your eyes, however, will still go squinty.

I like to drink sugar free red bull. It tastes better then regular red bull. I also drink Tab energy drink cause it tastes like a jolly rancher.

I don't have a dangly thing (uvula) any more, so I can shotgun red bull all day long. I prefer Hammerhead coffee. 2 shots of espresso in a coffee with lots of cream and sugar.

You need to be VERY careful with energy drinks. ER's and shit are filling up with people our age who slam those things and then end up with an ischemia. Basically your heart starts beating so fast it doesn't take in enough blood.

fightinfilipino

i used to drink red bull a lot and it would do nothing to me.

i'm sure that's mild compared to a lot of the "hardcore" drinks being sold now.

Cogliostro

There's two offered that are particularly bad: Cocaine and Meth. No, not the drugs. They contain 7 and 9 (respectively) times more caffeine than a coke.

People don't realize that caffeine is a diuretic. It makes you LOSE water. It takes 3 cups of water to replace what 1 cup of coffee does to you (which, btw, lowers blood volume). You're really fucking up your kidneys if you do it too often.

So I should probably stop drinking so many red bulls then. I've already got a heart condition and man one night I drank 3 or 4 red bulls in the span of about 2 hours and I had to lay down cause my heart felt all weird.

Ragix

doesn't really have any "energy" effect on me
but i drink it for the taste

sark

i used to drink red bull. someone asked me what it tasted like once, and all i could come up with was 'chemicals'. so, i stopped drinking it.

if i need caffeine, i drink green tea. to start the day, i drink vitamin water. usually the kiwi-strawberry focus flavor.

I get this reaction when I drink goldschlager. The bally thing in the back of my throat swells up. I wonder if this is an actual scientific reaction?
