Energy Drinks

Berton · October 2011

As someone who has just started drinking energy drinks, I'm curious as to which ones vp likes. Me: Red Bull Sugar Free- Just no, nasty taste, and gave me no energy. Low Carb Venom- Decent, gave me a little energy. Low Carb AZ Energy (Made by Arizona Tea)- Loved it, it's by far my favorite taste wise, gave me a decent amount of energy. Zero Carb Rockstar- decent taste, gave loads of energy. Sugar Free Rockstar- I'll get back to you since I just opened it.

I've never, ever tried an energy drink. Because I don't want to like them, they're bad for your heart. =P

At this point, everything is bad for you in some way or another. Just enjoy in moderation ^.^ I like red bull. We have it at the store I work at, and it's one of our very few non-alc drinks, so if I'm ever stumbling in there half-asleep at 9 am, I just buy one of the huge 20-oz and mix it with mountain dew. Best pick-me-up ever (:

I enjoy a red bull, definately my favorite. I dont mind a monster, and some of the generic ones I get for like 30 cents a can at big lots arnt bad, although I might just like them because they are 30 cents lmfao.

I like those Venom drinks, and the Rockstar in the orange can, not sure which flavor it is.

I have had some before but me and my friend both agree that they don't affect us and their mostly disgusting lol.

I prefer Spark by Advocare. Grape is my favorite flavor. It gives me the pickup without the crash a few hours later. it also has good stuff for you plus its sugar free.

Maxxy · October 2011

Has anyone tried Noz? I got one of the bigger bottles to try it, drank it all around 10 pm, and was up until 11 pm the next day. Not sure if I had a crash or not since I usually sleep till 10-11 am anyway, but I woke up feeling great. I might just be lightweight but that stuff is powerful :P

Energy drinks are bad, kids. Please drink them responsibly. I was an idiot and drank one after another in high school, and they're just -bad-. But because I was such a fool, I know lots of ones I like 8'D The original Full Throttles were the best. They changed the recipe, and now they taste funky. But I used to down those like nothing. Seriously. I could chug a can in five minutes flat. (Please note: Do not do this and then proceed to go on a seven hour fishing trip. That was... horrible. Worst. Idea. Ever.) As far as Monsters go, I like the yellow M80s or whatnot. They taste like pineapple-banana. The Khaos is great too, tastes like Tang. They have a new one, Rehab (Tea & Lemonade flavored) which is sugar free and only 10 cal per serving (20 per can). They taste... odd, but once you get use to it, they're AMAZING. Only ones I can drink in one sitting. The other Monsters I consume over the course of three or four days. xD Redbulls and Rockstars I dislike. Venoms are good, but not amazing. Noz taste similar to pixie sticks in a can. *ponders* There were some others back home, Talon was one that was good. I think they stopped making them though? After a while I just started buying them because the cans looked cool. There were more, but I'd need to go to a gas station and make a list. xD I used to keep a giant tote full of empty cans, just to see how many I had. After filling two giant totes (used for moving large amounts of clothing and such), it was decided that I had a problem, and I stopped altogether for about a year and a half. Much insomnia occurred, which sounds... odd. But that was the side effect of my withdrawls. I couldn't sleep, even though I was dead tired.

most energy drinks put me out. I was 13 before I could drink a full can of Mountain Dew without sleeping 12+ hours afterwards. My body was just too small to handle it I agree with you Kazuko. They are bad. I honestly don't touch them. I have too many friends who have heart problems and have been put in the hospital because they had 1 too many energy drinks. If you really need the energy boost at least find something that will be helpful not harmful Spark Enhances mental energy and focus Provides support for long-lasting energy Helps fight occasional drowsiness 21 vitamins, minerals and nutrients Sugar-free and only 45 calories Helps reduce free radicals Thats the ONLY energy drink I use. I will every now and then grab a mountain dew if I'm out eating but that's usually it. Not many people know this but if you can make smoothies make a fruit one. They are a great energy booster and you feel better. Strawberries is my favorite to make. Plus you can add in some sugar if the natural sugar isn't enough for you. Plus I'm pretty sure if your parents see you making a fruit smoothie, they'll be happy

I try to not drink one the day after i drank one, which is why im gonna be a wreck next week. I usually have one tuesday and one thursday and thats it for the week. But so far I've had one every day since last thursday

Though i'd be passed out right now if not for that rockstar. I'm done now for the week till friday prolly when I have to get up at 4. But never do I have more than one a day. Same with coffee (if i drink it) one cup a day, and no energy drink if I had coffee...

Kazuko · October 2011

Definitely slow down. Drink half a can a day instead if you can. It is WAY too easy to become addicted to those, which is why a lot of places will only sell to you if you are 18+

Garnet · October 2011

I like Venoms okay but Monsters are my fave 0.0 especially the red Assault Monsters lol

Trianna · October 2011

I don't really drink energy drinks, because personally I've always thought a healthy lifestyle should provide plenty of energy... and if it doesn't you might have a health issue like a vitamin deficiency or a thyroid problem. Well, that and caffeine normally helps me sleep. The only one I think I ever liked was the blue amp, the berry one... might have been something else, but I remember it was most definitely blue and berry flavored. XD

:) I did that today and I feel the same as I would had a drank a full can. I have the other half in my bag for saturday which is prolly when I'll drink one next xD

I thunk I'm the only one that they do absolutely nothing for..? Haha Carriage, taurine, etc does nothing for me. I can drink a whole 12 pot of coffee and it will do absolutely nothing for me except make me sick from the creamer I use it every cup. XD I usually drink Amp, just because I love the taste. My favourites are the berry or cherry flavours.

I'll occassionly grab one of the plain ol' normal Monsters, but they have a funny after taste compared to Amp. I don't like Rockstar at all. Haven't tries Nos, Talon (I think my Valero sells them still? Could've swore I saw some..), Redbull, etc. I've found that the Amp's taste the best, so I have no desire to spend money on any others and risk me wasting 4-5 bucks on something I might absolutely detest.

Also, insomnia SUCKS. I've gotten insomnia from what I assume to be way too much pressure and stress, and now it's even worse after my daddy passed. I hate it. ;; I can't sleep until I literally pass out, and it's usually already 3-5 in the morning before that happens..and I wake up by 6 for school...and then I end up just sleeping my weekend days away. I wake up soo pissed I wasted the whole day xD I wanna wake up when the sun gets up (the country girl in me

) so I actually have time to do things I need done.

Howdy, Stranger!
