What's your favorite energy drink/drink?

[Dext]

Aaaaah, you're tired but you have to stay in front of your computer because Geekhack is calling you, that you have to choose what will your next keyboard be, choose keycaps and mind about the last Leopold keyboard... Oh and you have to give an advice to the new guy on the forum who is asking if the Razer BW is a good keyboard. Or you just want to play video games all the night...

So as you have many things to do, you drink an energy drink. WHAT DO YOU DRINK?

For me, it's a Burn or a Redbull.
And you?

[demik]

Monster.

I hate it but I love it. I wish I could stop drinking it but then I feel horrible the whole day.

[nickheller]

I like the Amp energy ones.

[trees]

Im a huge fan of Rip-It Red Zone. It tastes EXACTLY like faygo redpop.

[nubbinator]

I hate energy drinks, but the only one that ever did anything for me was 5-hour Energy.

[Dext]

Monster.

I don't like it but really really don't like it. I can't drink more than half a can, i don't know why

[katushkin]

I do like Red Bull. The cranberry one is nice.

But the VR46 edition of Monster is pretty good.

[Dext]

I do like Red Bull. The cranberry one is nice.

Yeah, he is really really really good, the blue one is delicious too

[3K]

So as you have many things to do, you drink an energy drink. WHAT DO YOU DRINK?

Green tea. Black tea. Fruit tea. Everything tea!

[HPE1000]

Green AMP and NOS are the best

[jbondeson]

If I need a boost and I can't get decent iced coffee I'll begrudgingly pick up a sugar-free red bull 
 

[inanis]

Cranberry or Tropical Red Bull. Only trouble is that if I have one in the afternoon I get over caffeinated, even if I'm just drinking the small one. In the morning it doesn't seem to have the same effect; it is just enough. Maybe it is all the sugar? I can drink 4 cups of coffee in the afternoon and not feel like I do after having a Red Bull. I don't put any sugar in the coffee though...

[katushkin]

Since I started shift work, caffeine has a very strange effect on me. If I don't have any for a while I get headaches which only go away if I have caffeine.

Last week I had a headache at about 10:30pm so I made myself a coffee. 45 minutes later I was in bed asleep.

redbull

goes well with Jäger


for every day consumption, black coffee

[Flyersfan1]

these are  good

[paicrai]

im gonna go with the /drink part of the subject line and say i usually enjoy 1,5l of super cold carbonated water without salt over the course of a day

[jerue]

SURGE.

But when I don't feel like paying $20/case....Red Bull, NOS, Lime Kickstart. I would say Monster Assault but I think that one has been discontinued

[meiosis]

I tried to get sponsored by NOS during my college finals, they sent me 2 24 packs and some stickers... :d guess you can say they won me over.

[dustinhxc]

Gaspari Nutrition Superpump 250 

[R1N3]

Monster.

I hate it but I love it. I wish I could stop drinking it but then I feel horrible the whole day.

I KNEW there was a reason I loved you..

I pretty much cut all carbonated energía because they were wrecking my grill.. not like cavities, but like my teeth were getting headaches. And the artificial sweeteners in low carb but carbonated MONSTER |||™ options give me an instant migraine

So I'm team REHAB™

Need two in the morning just to get me back to normal, ya feel me?

[Badwrench]

I was pretty much addicted to energy drinks when I was working graveyard (1-2 per day of anything that was sugar free and on sale).  I am now down to 3-4 cups of coffee throughout the day and only an energy drink when I am really dragging. 

Best thing I have ever found is N.O. Xplode.  I used to use this when I was doing Ironman training.  This stuff is amazing!  No jitters, no liquid crack feeling, just hyper awareness and tons of energy!  Stay away from the lemonade flavor - best is the blue raz.  Don't take this stuff late in the day! 



And yes, huge picture is on purpose because it is awesome!

Three scoops give you the ****s. Get those out of the way early on squat day or you'll regret it.

[neverused]

I drink my own cold brew coffee. I don't cut it with anything but a few ice cubes so it's a super strong concentrate, you cannot shine a light through it at all even after its filtered.

[temporal]

remember Jolt Cola? that was the good stuff

but these days I'll just have a mocha

caffeinated hot chocolate, thanks

These ones especially hit me with the INSTANT migraine... tastes so good.. but legit debilitating

[Nai_Calus]

NOS or GTFO. Grape is best, tropical punch was amazing but I haven't seen it in years. Cherry is ok, citrus is meh. Original is good. Monster Ultra/Ultra Blue is good if NOS is nowhere to be found, also Rockstar Punched.

[Dongulator]

Red bull. Love the taste and their marketing.

[sth]

love hate relationship with energy drinks here... but unlike naota i LIKE sour drinks so its more of a flavor thing these days
 there's a brand called Wired from near where I grew up and i looooove that stuff but it's hard to get outside of Washington state i think.
when i lived in oakland i used to mostly drink blue monster.
now that i live in holland im all about AH basic sugarfree. 50-60c a can (39 on sale) or 10 euros a case. low grade speed in a can baybeeeee

[Oobly]

Beer... 

Actually, I stay away from all the "energy" drinks. A good strong cappuccino is my weapon of choice. I have a Kenwood espresso machine that does a good job. Cheaper, too.

[azhdar]

All the one I tried tasted terrible, outside of jäggerbomb I never drink them.

Coca cola on the other hand is something I should stop drinking so much.

[demik]

Best extreme sports team ez.


6:30 am drinking a monster. Fml

[VinnyCordeiro]

I only drank Red Bull once, as I needed to stay awake because of work.

I slept anyway.

Caffeine have little effect on me. That's why I don't even bother drinking coffee or energy drinks, I know they won't work as expected.

[baldgye]

I used to drink like 2-3 Red Bulls a day about 2 years ago. Dentist went ape**** at me, so I went cold turkey and switched to water. I still like the taste of a RedBull but it makes me feel like **** afterwards...

i still drink tons of sparkling water (free at work, addicted to carbonation more than anything else)... my teeth are fuct.

[Lurch]

energy drinks don't really do it for me anymore. stretching for 5-10 min and a healthy dose of water does the trick nowadays.

[SpAmRaY]

Anyone else tried fresh lemon juice in water? It's supposed to give you a boost.

[inanis]

I do this all the time, just cause I like it. I use sparkling water too when I have it. I'm not sure if I notice that it gives me energy, but it tastes great!

[Lurch]

i did freshly squeezed lemon + honey for a while. it's a nice mellow boost and makes your stomach feel good, but i like the kick from coffee first thing in the AM so I didn't really stick with the lemon honey water. also, lemon juice is pretty rough on your teeth. i drank it out of a straw. 

[skycrimes]

I never really could do energy drinks - too much energy. What usually does it for me without any hard side affects is grapefruit juice.

I see people drinking energy drinks on public transport at 9am and shake my head.

I am one of these. Monster rehab - green tea and no sparkling, it is a bit softer on empty stomach.

[rowdy]

I can drink a can or energy drink and then fall asleep on the train going home.

About the only drink that actually kept me awake was Jolt.  Don't seem to be able to get that around here any more.

[demik]

ive replaced monster with a gallon of water a day.


**** i gotta pee a lot now

I'm just a fan of keyboards and I drink a lot of energy drinks

No just kidding, I'm an alien and i'm here for my research about something called keyboards and I actually try to understand the role of energy drinks in the human society

21 redbulls might be a bit much

hope you have strong kidneys

Watermelon Sorbet..

[fknraiden]

I don't drink many energy drinks anymore. But I like sugar-free redbulls and the orange colored monster rehabs.

I drink my own cold brew coffee. I don't cut it with anything but a few ice cubes so it's a super strong concentrate, you cannot shine a light through it at all even after its filtered.

I make my own too. I thought I'd like the concentrate, but it's just terrible. I usually dilute it 2:1. Most coffee shops do half and half, but that's way too watery imho.

It'll put hair on your chest that's for sure. I brew for about 14 hours and that's just about right for me. What ratio/setup do you use?
