Who drinks energry beverages?

[BZeto]

I try to eat healthy foods and get the proper amount of daily vitamins. But lately I have been feeling pretty sluggish, so I tried some Mountain Dew Amp. To be honest I didnt notice one bit of difference even hours later. This is with drinking the full 16 oz can.

I've also tried Monster in the past and dont recall feeling any extra spark in my energy level. Do some people just not produce energy in the same way as others? I would like to hear from others on their energy drink experience, is it purely marketing?

I like the Sugarfree RockStar drinks. They don't give me any energy but they keep me from falling asleep at work.
And they taste delicious.

 

[deerslayer]

Never had an energry beverage.

Energy beverages, however, do nothing for me.

 

[Theb]

Yes I get a decent stimulant 'buzz' from them. I like Full Throttle.

 

[Alienwho]

I drink Rockstars when i'm studying for a final. It doesn't give me energy, necessarily, but it really helps me focus and get the job done.

I drink Monster, Rockstar, Redbull sometimes.

If you really want an energy drink that'll give you a boost try Redline or another one called Liquid Speed. They're about the same and drinking a whole bottle gives me WAY too much energy. I can only take half a bottle.

They're totally different from Monster, etc.

I take Venom energy/diet pills sometimes too. They give you a pretty good boost.

i drink monster lo carb (blue can) when i don't feel like brewing coffee. it's delicious and gives me a huge kick

I drink vault sometimes. It seems to help some. Coffee always seems to do a better job though.

I'll drink a Red Bull or a Rockstar from time to time. I used to start my day with one or the other regularly, but I found after a while I wasn't getting anything from them daily, and when I'd miss a day I'd have like an energy hangover.

Those suck.

My fav too...I don't get a big kick from the rest, but I definitely can feel the difference. Monster drinks give me a good boost....

I think they're more mental than anything- they don't seem to physically do much for me, but it kinda puts that idea in your head that you have more energy (but maybe I'm just crazy)

starbucks drip caffeine > *

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

<raises hand> Is beer with espresso in it considered an energy drink?

 

[EngenZerO]

enviga ftw

 

[ThePresence]

RedBull works for me.
However, I haven't had a cup of coffee in 10 years or so, so I'm probably alot more susceptible to caffeine.

 

[goatjc]

If I drank 2-3 redbulls, say from 9pm - 12am, I could be up all night. Used to do it during all nighters for tests, papers etc. . .but I'll also say that I never drank caffeine except during those times.

You wouldn't say it's a mental thing after drinking a Redline or Liquid Speed.

 

[Lola]

Usually they do not, however we ordered Yet from Woot on the last woot-off and this stuff is crazy!
No carbs, no sugar, no caffine but it really gives me a boost. Lots of vitamins, etc in and not bad for you at all.

 

[Safeway]

I drank 2 Full Throttles, and damn ... they hit me fast and hard. Then again, most supplements or energy boosters I take affect me the same way.

 

[DarkThinker]

Redbull.

It gives me a boner.

 

[IceBergSLiM]

another vote for sugar free rockstar

 

[nakedfrog]

Yeah, I drink Rockstar on weekend mornings when I'm too lazy to make coffee. It gives me enough to get up and set about doing my chores.

 

[deerslayer]

I'll have to try a Redline/Liquid Speed sometime.

 

[Ausm]

I wouldn't drink one at work because that's where I get my best sleep.

Going to give Redline a shot next time, Redbull as well. I want to find something that works but at the same time not incorporate them into my regulare diet.
