Who drinks them? Which one(s)

Subject: Re: Energy Drinks

Written By: Sister Morphine on 11/18/06 at 12:30 pm

I guess Gatorade, if that counts.  They're all practically sugar and caffeine in a can and if I want that....I'll just grab a Diet Coke.

I've tried most and the one I like the most is Amp. It tastes ok and I usually only drank them if I was at an all day softball tournament and needed a boost to get me up for the game.

Sobe mostly if I have any energy drinks.  Red Bull in some shots.

Orange Flavour Gatorade, and if most stores I go to are out (which is common), then I go for the Orange Flavour Powerade

oh yeah, I like orange the best too. The fruit punch flavor is prety good but orange is the best.

If I wanted sugar in a can, I'd buy something that actually tasted nice.  :P

I've seen people drink stacks of these, one after another, hard to believe what that stuffs actually doing to you.  :-X

I used to drink Full Throttle all the time, but the sugar free version.  I also liked Tab Energy.  I haven't had one in months though.

I'm not a big fan of energy drinks but I've tried most of them.

Tab Energy reminds me of Jolly Ranchers candy but with a bad aftertaste.

I like the taste of the Sobe orange cream.

They all seem to leave a bad taste in my mouth, maybe it's the sugar  ??? .  Just like SM, I'd rather drink a Diet Coke.

Yeah, I tend to have red bull.

Whenever I go out I always have 3-4 cans of it, because I'll have a can and drop a jager shot in there.

The local stores always have a no-name brand energy drink and It's fun to drink as much of that as possible and see what happens.

The big thing to do now a days is Red Bull and beer.  There's a drink called Cherry Bombs which is a energy drink and cherry vodka.

Some people have a higher tolerence for that stuff.  It takes about four drinks for me to feel impact.

I occasionally drink energy drinks...but I don't keep track of the brands so I can't vote on any of them.

Sugar-free Red Bull kicks arse because it only has 10 calories. Bravo. Also, has anyone ever heard of Sparks? It's an alcoholic energy drink. Mmm mmm mmm!

I had my share of Energy Drinks before, some of them are very high in sugar and can make you bounce off the walls.  :o

I run on Monsters. I usually fly through a 12 pack a week.  First thing I do when I wake up is roll out of bed, step on Nooney and go to the kitchen for a monster. Best noise in the world is the POP of the tab.
