I've become immune to Red Bull. Usually I find that I have one before I study, then I fall asleep, two hours later I get up with pure energy, and stay up for the next 22 hours.

I'm a fan of Full Throttle myself. I guess they kind of make you more alert but I really just like the way it tastes: like delicious sugary chemicals

. Dont like the way Red Bull tastes at all.

[wanderman]

Ripped Fuel was weak compared to some other things you could legally buy.

Ephedra was banned for a while becuase some kid in NYC decided more is apparently better in terms of dosage.

I myself have been a stim junkie at times by taking around 200-300mg of caffiene while some other people can tolerate 1g.

Monster green FTW. All others seem to have little affect on me.

Redbull in of it's self can only do so much, it's just caffeine and supplements...you can get similar effects for cheaper with a shot of espresso, but usally I have about 3 shots in the morning

I have used up to 4 cans of redbull during a 14 hour workday.

If mixing it with alcohol, I like it with Bacardi 151, good way to start a night out

i gave red bull a try right before an important business meeting and to my surprise, it is making me more tired. i had to push myself within to stay awake and soon afterwards my head hurts... i'm not touching red bull again, unless its 3am in the morning and i need to fall asleep quicker. and i did get the sugarfree version that day too. i guess this stuff works for some and not for others...

Yes, that's very interesting. It seems feeling drowsy after having a Red Bull is not that uncommon, and interestingly you had the sugar-free version.

 

[euclid]

definately prefer the Monster Green, although ive only been drinking water for the past few weeks and feel alot more alert with more energy. too much sugar is really a bad thing, AFAIK the pancreas releases alot of insulin to counter the high blood sugar and thats why 30minutes later you feel tired. make it too routine and diabetes might come into play.

BTW Jager-bombs sober me up.

 

[RichardCory]

I drink Red Bull everyday, and it definitely works for me. *shrug*

 

[Mr Nice Guy]

AMP is definitely my choice for an energy drink. It tastes jstu liek green jello and who doesn't liek jello. It's hard to find and when you do find it, it can be $7 for a four pack but its the best drink out there

 

[bl4cksh33p]

If anything, i drink Monster, but don't find it of much use. I tried snorting caffeine pills at one time, but there are better ways to stay alert.

 

[chia-pet]

Perhaps it just doesn't affect you. Caffine and energy drinks don't affect me either.
