Mixing it with booze is an even bigger crime. The only exception to the booze rule would be jager, those two should be mixed...as they are poured down the drain together.

You mean, like, all sodas?
And Jagermeister is awesome, you just aren't man enough for it :p

I don't drink soda much either.

A friend of mine got a 1.75l bottle of Jager a few years ago as a gift. He calls it a lifetime supply...I don't think he's even opened it yet. That stuff tastes like cough syrup. Blech.

one of my favorite cocktails is vodka+redbull

Good vodka shouldn't be mixed with anything.

red bull and vodka mixes quite well with female hormones. it is a quick and very pleasant reaction that is sure to get you some.

Red Bull is too expensive. Monster tastes the exact same and costs half the price.

I remember one time my friend drank 3 Bookus (24 oz.). He was going nuts.

i like it, and i love it mixed with Jagr.

my primary drink is beer though. the shot described above would be classified as an ice-breaker. the sh!tty thing about Red Bull is that it costs $24 for 8 here in Canada. which means my friends are buying it, not me. ;)

Rockstar does taste much better than Red Bull. The QT gas stations around here sell something called Rooster Booster that's pretty decent too. Good to wake me up enough to make coffee/espresso on weekends when I didn't get enough sleep.

That's insane. The execs at Red Bull must be laughing their asses off everytime they look at a P&L statement. You people are suckers.

This lady I work with drinks one of the tall cans every morning. Like, one of those cans you'd typically expect to see with "silver bullet" written on the side or something. I'm surprised she doesn't suffer from a sugar-induced coma every day :Q

I think he meant people that drink Red Bull, not Canadians. At least that's how I read it.

All those energy drinks suck. It was the first time I had a red bull that I found out that alot of caffiene actually puts me to sleep. So much for actually pulling an all-nighter and studying.

After a few months I decided to try again to see if something else had been a problem. I picked a night I was pretty wired (LOTS of sleep the night before) and drank one at 9. By 10 I was out like a light and slept another 10+ hours!

I wonder if alot of alchohol might help me stay awake...

-spike

I used to take No-Doz in Air Force Tech School to stay awake which was fine in the morning but by lunch I was even more tired. A couple of times (For whatever Idiotic thrill I was seeking) I popped about six no doz before I went to the club and felt like I was on Speed, I could feel my heart beating. But a few hours later it hits you like a brick wall and you get an insane need to snack and then pass the hell out. Caffeine is just a temporary boost. Of course your going to feel worse afterwards.

Just like stim packs in Starcraft.

:D it's funny - but i didn't intentionally pick my handle for that reason, but it seems ULTRA appropriate given how crabby i can get from hanging out here too much. :heart:
