Any energy drinkers here?

[RedZMonte]

I had 1/2 of a can of "Spike" i was shaking, heart was racing! It jacked me up... You have to be 18 here to buy it, kids have gone to the hospitol from drinking that stuff..

GO FAST FTMFW! its a Colorado company (where im from). Tasts so much better then red bull and doesn't give me the shakes. if you have it in your area or can buy it online i suggest giving it a try. Tastes good too.. I think Monster and rockstar tastes like ASS!

DO NOT GET THE "GO FAST GUM"! tastes like SHYT!!!

Something about the chemical in Red Bull making your brain think you aren't getting as drunk as you are, so you drink way more.

Red Bull=Stimulant
Beer=depressant

Both = mentally sober
Body = toast

Close, it's the alcohol in the beer that's the depressant. There's no telling what they added to counter the depressant effect, it's a matter of ratios and combined effect considering it's highly unusual to be drinking an alcoholic beverage and something equal to or similar to coffee at the same time (unless you're a teacher). I believe alcohol starts out as a suppressant because the small amount I get in the rare glass of wine makes me sleepy. When you drink to intoxication, that's when the depressant action becomes evident. Even then I believe it all depends on whether or not you have something troubling you. I got "grunk" drunk once my freshman year of college, I didn't want to cry, I wanted to lay down and go to sleep.

energy drink

I drink gatorade, i by the powder makes it pretty cheap, i a runner so thats works pretty good.

Tilt does seem to have an effect on me similar to the effect that ritalyn has on my son. Although feeling mildly intoxicated i seem to get more work done, my concentration is improved 10x.


overall i dislike energy drinks, i prefer to drink Arizona Green Tea.. about a gallon every 2 days.

I tried some brand of Green Tea at the Meijer gas station a while back while it was on sale. Gold Peak was the name brand I think. It was really good. I tried the Lipton stuff, but didn't like it because it had lemon in it and I haven't found it at the store without lemon (in Lipton) yet. I don't dislike lemon flavored stuff, but I just didn't want it in my green tea. Green tea is good stuff and is supposed to raise your metabolism.

I only ever touch the stuff when I know I'm going to be awake longer than normal and don't want to be drowsy.

A few of my coworkers are in a habit of them though. One manager will have a redbull at every break and all he does is sit behind a computer all day. He's a wanker to his workers though so we're waiting for his heart to pop.

Been drinking it for years, Arizona is the best i've found (IMO of course). I can't stand the Lipton stuff, the citrus ruins it.

Turkey Hill is good stuff too... hard to find though.

I like the Arnold Palmer (not be/c of the name, but be/c it tastes better than the rest) .

Although, if I am going to drinking something, I want coke-soda is the way to go. I really like the Mexican style, but the teeth will start letting you know about it real fast due to it's ingredients over the standard coke we've all been guzzling for the past decade or so.

For a choice alcohol drink, J.Walker blue label with cubed ice wide glass with a heavy bottom.

[wanako]

man, you're hardcore.. that's gotta get expensive

lol I know what you meant with that one. :P

If I ever need an energy drink, and I hardly do, I take orange Monster. It's my favorite. Tastes like crazy orange soda.

Who loves orange soda? KEL loves orange soda!! Is it true? Oh I do, I do, I do-ooooo!!! /kennan and kel

Here and there on occasion. Though, when I start building my turbo set-up soon, I'll have a few 6-packs of red bull.

If I ever needed to pull a very long repair/rebuild, bang 20mg oxycodone and a line of coke. Speed up and feel freaking great! Though, I do not condone such a use cause it is bad for you. Only on very rare occasions will I do such stuff. It makes a long job much easier.

All in theory though until legal.

I heard in Europe there are trace amounts of coke in their red bulls. My wife doesn't like me drinking them anymore because of that. But it rarely stops me.

If you REALLY need to get the wife off your back, seafoam your car through the intake. I swear it works like a charm.

btw, energy pills suck. I tried the no-doze once. I felt like crap for hours. Hair tingling, panic, sweating like a pig, jittery.

[pocket-rocket]

No-doze is regular caffeine. In the factories I used to use this stuff called 25/50 from time to time. Each pill was either 25mg of caffeine and 50 mg of pseudo ephedrine, or flip flop the two because I forgot which was the higher amount. Then there were also Stacker 3's. Sad thing was even at 5:30am I got carded almost every time. What kid is going to get up at 5:30am to buy some beaners dressed in raggedy factory work cloths?

BTW, you took too much no-doze. If you need a pick me up and you feel like crap in the head, take 1 Aleeve cold and sinus and drink a 20 oz. pop before eating anything. That will get you moving really well. The caffeine in the pop gives the ephedrine in the Aleeve cold and sinus a good kick while the ephedrine clears your sinuses/head and opens your lungs up (like it was originally intended for years ago).

I'm curious... Did anyone actually watch the videos I posted in the first post?

It must be the Pseudo Ephedrine. I always handled caffeine well. When I was 17-18 working a BK, just before lunch rush I would fill the largest soda cup with 30% ice and the rest with coffee. Sometimes I would snag the first half of a fresh pot, extra dark and strong. Go in the back and chug the whole thing down. Belly ache for a few minutes but when it kicked in, wow, I was on freakin fire. The staff loved it. Keep in mind I worked a few miles from the beach front in Virginia Beach. Certain days we would get pounded and I mean pounded! 6 registers with 10 people in line per register and a packed drive through. But because I was high as all hell on caffeine, I would whip the crap out of those burgers. Manager timed me once and I had a 2 second per whopper time, lol. Only because I had a chain system going with a helper. But true to life every 2 seconds a whopper would pop out, even custom order.

There were these twins that worked the front. OMG, when I say hot, I MEAN HOT!!! Jackie and Jose'. The two sexiest ladies I have ever seen, ever. Man, we would hit on them all day long and they loved it. They were such teases. Often I had to wear tighties to not pitch a tent at work when they rubbed there tail ends in that special spot. Tried as I may, almost nailed one but the boyfriend was an issue. Had he not been due in one day at her house (smoking up) it would have been a sure thing. Oh well, as hot as they were, almost means a lot...lol
