I prefer Amp myself, but kinda irked that I can't find it in a multi-pack. It really gets me going in the morning and it doesn't taste nasty like some of those others. I'll add to the poll if someone suggests others I'm not familiar with.

I like Red Bull just b/c I don't really want to drink 24 oz of that crap. A smaller more potent does is better for me.

Coffee in the AM no doubt. Monster is good for late morning, early afternoon though

My latest caffeine kick has been with these:

Morning Spark drink mix. One packet of this stuff offers more of a jolt than a can of Redbull. Tastes better too. And is only around $.30 a packet.

If I'm on the go I typically go for a Rockstar Mango Juice. Tastes better than any of the others.

Yep, this "energy drink" craze is a testament to the power of marketing.

I drink coffee by the gallon, but it typically wages unholy jihad on my colon. Not something that I want to deal with if I'm on the road or going to be in a meeting for several hours.

The "energy" drinks don't have the acidity and go easier on my guts.

NOS is pretty high in cafenine, but so is Cocaine. Nos is easier to come by though. Cocaine is much mroe regional.

Cocaine has more caffeine per oz, but Nos has a bigger serving size. Red Bull is marketing. 80mg of caffeine per 8.4oz bottle of red bull v.s. 280 for cocaine's 8.4oz bottle and 400mg for Nos's 16oz bottle.

Hmm, Bawls, Red Bull, Full Throttle, and AMP are my personal favorites, but I'm going to have to vote AMP because of the looong history it has at Halo/BF2 allnighters with friends. BTW, you can get AMP 4-packs (like Red Bull, 4 x 8 oz) at Wally World, Target, supermarkets, etc.
