Energy drinks-do you partake?

[Lumathix]

Alas I do not. They do nothing for me. I could drink one right before bed and not have any problems sleeping.

 

[n7]

I do sadly.

I try really hard not too, but the days when i've had way too little sleep, they help me with concentrating.

The crash afterwards does suck though...

There's nothing quite like not having any caffeine for a week or two then taking that first sip off a an ice cold Nos. It tastes of God's vagina.

Only if God has a yeast infection.

 

[FelixDeCat]

No, it irritates my bowels.

 

[Mo0o]

No, it tastes terrible. I'd rather just drink a cup of coffee

Well thank you for that mental imagery.

The mouthwash, it does nothing.

Yea they're good. They're just Mountain-Dew with the energy drink stuff added.

Bumping this thread because I just tried Monster - Mixxd.
Very good for an energy drink. Has a light and smooth tropical grape flavor without too much of a carbonated taste. I think this is the first energy drink that I've tried that I actually like the flavor of.

 

[Arcadio]

Once in a while for the placebo effect. And only in the summer when coffee is not an option.

I bought one out of a vending machine in 2002 before they really started to take off. It was completely disgusting. I drank about half of it and couldn't drink anymore. I was midway through working a double shift and could barely keep my eyes open. Well, the drink didn't help me.

A guy I work with buys some brand that comes in a green/black can by the case at Costco. He sucks down two-three a day at his desk. He's also massively overweight. I can't imagine his heart lasting much longer. The guy is mid 30s and looks 50.

There was a time where I would drink 3 or so within a week. I'd drink Monsters (coffee versions, green one, etc), Red Bulls, Bawls, and others. In the end, it didn't make me feel good, so I quit drinking energy drinks. Too much sugar and other crap, which isn't good for the body. I'll stick to water, god's choice of drink :whiste:

Have any of you guy had the Monster BFC? It's a 32 oz version of their green energy drink. I'll let you guys guess what B-F-C stands for.

I tried one, and I didn't feel good after. Maybe my body is rejecting the stuff

I've gotten kinda hooked on the Monster Khaos (orange one) of late.

It tastes like juice, not like crap (like most).

Way too easy to down one every morning to get me going. :\

[shortylickens]

I dont drink them. Sampled a few and didnt like the taste. Would rather have water and a caffiene pill. Cheaper too.

 

[JulesMaximus]

Well, judging by the results of this poll it's no wonder Red Bull fields 2 Formula One teams not to mention their involvement in so many other professional sports. It probably costs pennys to make one can of Red Bull or similar drink and 40% of ATOT is drinking them.

 

[F1N3ST]

Meh, my FAVORITE energy drink is Venom: Black Mamba, it's delicious, and Jules, epic avatar, looks like me old kitty

 

[Leros]

They keep me going when I'm desperate and need to stay awake. I try not to use them and just drink diet coke, coffee, or tea.

I think its silly how some people drink 1 or 2 every single day.

 

[pontifex]

I've never had a drink that was marketed as an energy drink. I have had sodas that has more caffeine than normal sodas though - Josta, different Mtn. Dews.

 

[Schadenfroh]

Coffee and lots of it.

 

[AbAbber2k]

I can't stand most energy drinks. There's a couple I don't mind like Green and Blue AMP... generally the only ones I drink though are Samba/Rhumba/Tango. They're 100% juice concentrate drinks with caffeine/guarana/B vitamins/etc. Very tasty, not near as much WTF shit in them.

 

[StageLeft]

a few/year if travelling,otherwise no they are expensive and stupid

 

[NightFox]

Tried once and didn't like. Don't drink any.
