*****Stupidity Ahead!*****
Ran into my friend (literally) on my way out of work who was in shopping :D Little bit of walking and talking and we ended up by the energy drinks....
I've had Relentless and that's about it. After my friend pointed at various drinks and describing the basic flavour I just kept picking them up :D Now I have 8 energy drinks :D
First up: Monster Ripper! Apple, Passion Fruit and Pineapple Juice with all the usual additives. Smells alright (kinda like medcine...) and tastes fine too :)
What happens next? Who knows! :D

Only one i like is the sprite 3G one as it tastes like sprite :p
They should invent an energy drink that tastes like beer. Or maybe I should go to bed.

Bulldog Berry! You can tell this is a good drink as it contains 2563% of your RDA of B12 :D
Mmmmmm :)
A little bit wired now :D

Isn't that why Polar Bear (and Lion) liver is toxic, too much B12?:shocked:

A sugar coated ass with 10 sugars?

Should try alibi, its an "active pretox" drink ;D Meant to the night before the morning after, tastes like an energy drink without the energy additives. Has recommended daily allowance for just about everything and its meant to help stop hangovers. Its all a load of bollocks really, but it tastes alright!
I wouldn't recommend drinking all 8 at one go, you'll have a coronary. Did two 460ml redbulls at work one sleepy night and I felt like death! Couldn't stay still, heart racing, generally felt terrible.
Can't get througha night turn without some kind of energy drink though. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
When I've got Pole Play sunday I love a bit of Relentless or Rockstar. My students like it when I'm on it as it makes me silly.

Can't say you've ever struck me as one who needs any help in that regards ;D

It's funny cos it's true!
It's a sad fact that I can go out drinking and no one notices and thinks I'm sober, but a few energy drinks and everyone wants to know what I'm on!
Soooooo, how long did it keep you up? :D
I was drinking Coke last night, awake until gone 3, rough sleep, woke up at 7 as usual. Ugh. :D

V energy drink is by far my favourite, though I don't have it too often as I like the taste so much I want more than one.

Fixx extreme.
If you can drink this before bed and actually get to sleep, you're not human and should seek medical advice.
I try to stay away from these as much as possible but I leave for work at 5.30am for a 50 mile drive and usually drink a small diet kick or emerge (asda) on my drive to keep me alert. Only 4 days a month.
I like either and refuse to spend anymore than 30 or so pence on a 250ml can of caffine.
I did 6 cans of Emerge and 2 diet cokes on a 12 hr night shift. Wired? Me?

First up tonight:
Relentless Juiced (Red) - supposedly berry flavoured, tastes quite good :)
Mwahaha! I did a 7 hour gig last night and didn't even crack open my Relentless! I rule!
I will, however, be cracking it open during my 6 hour stint today!
Colleague at work who is hyperactive to start with tried a can of Relentless a while back and spent the next few hours like the squirrel in Over The Hedge once he'd had some coffee :D

Ahahaha!
twitchy? wasn't that hoodwinked? I think I know who you mean and that is funny!!! faysh acts like a child with adhd when he has had energy drinks, I wouldn't mind but EVERYONE stares at him! lol
I had a can of the Tesco own branded version of Redbull before seeing dirty dancing because i missed the end of Wicked so I didn't want to miss the end of Dirty Dancing so drank the drink in the interval.
However I wish I hadn't as the second half was just as dull as the first half.

When I was at college I used to live on that stuff :D
Are we talking the caffeine based ones, I have only had Red Bull, they should not be allowed to use the word energy because Red Bull does not give you any more energy.

It gives you mental "energy" in my opinion :)

Of course they do, they're full of sugar.

What do you mean by 'energy' though?

I know what he means I think, you've got energy drinks, and then you've got stimulants.
Things like Lucozade will hydrate you and give you energy, and things like espresso and redbull (despite having sugar) are more of a stimulant and are loaded with caffeine, which makes you pee a lot, denting your net fluid intake. Redbull wouldn't be the sort of drink you'd take for a run, for example. :)

Monster Ripper sponsored the Graspop Festival I was at, weekend just gone.
Fantastic weekend, whoooooosh!
When I moved into my flat it was straight after work one evening, my mum was going to help so decided to try a redbull. She was completely wired, so funny, racing round sorting out stuff, cleaning and fussing about in general. She told me she couldn't sleep that night ether.
Since then she reserves its use for times of emergency ;D
