Any energy lovers out there?

Heya guys was just wondering if any of you are into your energy supplements like red bull, relentless etc etc.

Im guessing as a few of you are students that you've pulled an all nighter. They're often times people will take something to keep themselves going.

Im pretty much addicted to red bull and will move onto coffee soon, anything else useful you guys know about?

Most the drinks like Red Bull, Amp, and Coffee don't do shit but hurt my stomach. But the five hour energy shots are amazing for me. Not only do they give me energy but they make me more focused. I take them twice a day now, even when I don't really need it.

Really starting to realize that I'm addicted and dependent.

When I am doing all-nighters the normal energy drinks like Red Bull, Amp, Rockstar etc usually do more harm than good. The crash tends to be kinda bad and after all night of it my head is just kind of buzzing in a bad way and even if I am fully awake I can tell I'm not thinking clearly and can crash any second. Coffee works a little better for me...I need to try that five hour energy, I just always forget about it when crunch time comes. Everyday use though...eh, I really try to avoid using caffeine on a consistent basis. The shit is a drug plain and simple, and addictive at that. Really FFXI trained me to be able to stay awake for a day or two without really getting tired. After that though I generally need to do something (drugs or sleep) to keep going effectively.

I drink Red Bull a lot. Don't use it to stay awake, I just really like the taste.

Used to drink Monster when I needed to stay awake. Stuff did bad things to me though...made me feel super anxious shortly after drinking it.

I drink amp mostly but I'll take a 5 hr energy sometimes and like Null said it does do a lot more for me in the energy department but if you take them everyday they stop doing shit really.

Interesting, the exact opposite happens to me, Red Bull and Coffee give me energy and keep me focused, drink the stuff all day. The five hour energy stuff though instantly makes me sick to my stomach, gives me the worst pain in my stomach and chest.

coffee is cheaper and tastes way better

I can't stand coffee so I drink sugar free Red Bull whenever I'm in the need of a pick me up. Bawls is alright, but I don't care for it as much as Red Bull, and I'm not even sure it's an energy drink since it's been about 5 years since I had it. Never had any other energy drinks to compare Red Bull to, since I can't really say if I like any more than that.

I'll drink the low-cal Monster a bit. Shit's awful for me, but I can't help but have a craving for one every now and then.

Back in my high school days, our whole baseball team would have a pregame ritual of drinking Monsters. We were wired as shit during warmups lol.

Out of curiosity does anyone remember Hansen's Energy? It never seemed to catch on, but it came out just after Red Bull IIRC and it actually tasted pretty damn good too.

lol I used to be the same way with Amp...so incredibly bad for your body(and wallet) to be drinking this stuff just for the taste though, had to cut myself off.

[Arew]

Most energy drinks don't do shit for me, I had a 5-hour energy drink once, but I'm not sure if it did anything or if it was placebo affect.

[archibaldcrane]

I drink "8 hours of sleep". It's awesome.

I see what you did there

[Raen Ryong]

I have flatmates who like to party all night three times a week so I don't really get to sleep much at all. I'm semi-dependent on Lucozade... Relentless does bad things to me for some reason and Lucozade gives me the shakes in the quantity I have to take it in, but still.

Good thing about five hour is that its all natural and has no sugar and what not. So you don't have to worry about the caffeine and sugar crash.

lol you sound like Braylon Edwards.

I get lattes with 5 espresso shots, usually 2 on exam days. It works fantastic in the short term but the crashes can be awful.

[Diamicles]

I drink the little sugar free energy drink mixes from walmart. Can't find it listed online, but they are little single drink mix things that have Caffeine, Taurine, and Guarana in them. Like 2 bucks for a box of 10, each pack works well in a 20 oz bottle.
