I just tried Monster Rehab and it was great. I usually get one of the Energy + Juice ones though.

I'm pretty sure if you brush your teeth well you won't get cavities. I have a neighbor who's an old school programmer, he told me he's estimates he's drank 250k cans of Mt Dew in his life time. A few years ago I asked him about his teeth and he's never had a single one.
i learned my lesson as a kid, but energy drinks don't give me energy.

if i want energy i use diet pills for that. i can tell the difference from it.

I mostly drink Monster. Green is my favorite, but I like red, orange, and purple as well. If I only want a half sized drink, I'll get Red Rave.

NOS tastes good but it just has way too much caffeine (nearly twice as much as monster). I feel all jumpy after I have one.

I've never had one of those canned drinks. Don't think I would care for it.
I drink coffee in the morning and if I need a boost, a 5 Hour Energy Drink.

Was wondering why I didn't see too many people just saying black coffee.

Coffee can constipate me something fierce, so I've preferred energy drinks. I also have a vitamin B in the morning & lunch time, when I'm working.
When I was working logistics, it was noticeable how much energy it gave, when compared to a day of no energy drinks, holy shit. ouch. I was able to keep going while my coworkers were whining about being worn out in first few hours of work day.

i drink the starbucks double shots. usually one in the morning before a job (3am or so) and then, if i am tired one before driving home late that night. the crash usually comes about the time i get to bed anyway.

I've noticed a big difference between regular coffees & grabbing something from Starbucks. Starbucks acts like a laxative.
But too much regular coffee isn't good for my body. Slows down the digestion of foods & excretion of liver stuff to soften poo as it moves through body. I'm really paranoid & anal about being constipated (pun intended). So when I find I'm getting bound up, I look into my diet to see what it was, coffee was amongst those causes, unfortunately. But with everyones' body being different, some peoples body deal with it differently & don't have to get those negative effects like I do.
Milk & most dairy products bind me up as well.

Because coffee isn't normally categorized as an energy drink.

I drink more black coffee than I do energy drinks, and more green tea than I do coffee.

Don't drink soft drinks, coffee, or energy drinks. You guys aren't living until you start high energy liquid vitamins.

Buy this bottle, it's 32 oz for about $25 and will last you a month...and you'll thank me.

Beaver Buzz Green Tea. Tastes basically like Green Tea with a slight bitterness from the energy components.

I can't wait to try some...uh... beaver.

It does look interesting, though, but I don't think they carry it in local stores here :( Maybe I'll order some online.

I haven't had many Energy drinks, so I don't know how well it compares. Have had Redbull which seems ok and various Sobe drinks which are tasty, but just more drink than seems desirable for an energy boost.
