Subject: Energy/Mind Drinks

What are your opinions on sport/energy/mind drinks like Sobe, Red Bull, Arizona, etc.? (Now they're coming out with Sports water! :-/ I thought water already had all the nutrients one needs.) Anyway, I tried the Sobe and the first flavors were good. But now I'm afraid to try their others because of what I heard about steroid-like problems caused by mind altering beverages. That's my take in it anyway.

I have tried that sports water (made by Gatorade). I think it's a pretty stupid idea. I mean, it is flavored, but then why not just drink Gatorade? I guess this new water is supposed to be better for you, but I agree with you, J.C., I think regular water is the best thing you can drink.

I like Sobe, as long as its mixed with vodka.

Are you asking in reference to the taste or the ingredients?

Well, I once had this weird concoction back in HS that the stoners called Rad Aid. I guess I could call it a "mind" drink ::)

I think they're great, but most of them have no measurable effect on stamina. The "active ingredient" is usually taurine or guarana (or both), but they use so little of it that it hardly matters. I know people who have gotten a spin out of it the first time they've had some, but after that it's no longer a buzz. There's actually more caffeine in those drinks than anything else, and if you want a good caffeine hit, all you need is a cola drink, anyhow.

Why Langdon will never ever ever touch cocaine...
Ma huang and ginseng both give me such terrible shakes I think I'm going to pass out. I start to sweat and my stomach flips, it's dreadful. Red Bull and that KMX or RX or whichever one has the X have done this, as have the Sobe's with ginseng. Yucky yucky yucky stuff... I'll opt for just getting enough sleep, thank you very much.
