energy drinks...

These things are one of my only vices in life and they are addicting as hell. I've never smoked cigs, but I can equate the addiction. Does anyone else have this problem? I've been trying to quit but I usually go back to them.

My only real complaint about them are the odd-smelling farts you get from them and the Vitamin B12 neon yellow piss.

I love energy drinks. I only drink the sugar free ones, however.

My favorites are Rockstar Zero Carb (tastes like berries), Full Throttle Sugar Free (like green jolly ranchers) and Sobe Sugar Free (like red Kool Aid).

Also, if you have a dollar tree near you, I highly suggest Rip It Sugar Free Orange X. Tastes like orange soda. Delicious, and it's only a buck.

I only drink them when I want caffeine at work and don't have time to go get coffee. I pretty much only drink Red Bull

I really only like the Monster coffee ones. decent road trip fuel.

Iv'e gotten into the coffee energy drinks lately.

I honestly don't typically feel much of an effect from them, but they taste good ;).

I'm not much of a coffee drinker, strangely enough.

Yea I only drink the sugar free ones too (well try to). The Amp Energy Elevate (blue can) is absolutely scrumptious. But it packs like 220 calories and all that sugar. Rockstar is a close second and then No Fear low carb. Red bull sugar or non sugar gives me the jitters and everything else is odd.

I never really get an "effect" from them, or a crash, just a tasty drink. If I need something to wake me up, I'll take a shot of pickle juice or Jim Beam.

what happened to drinking black coffee like a man?

You started doing it, kinda ruined the image

I keed I keed.

Its getting harder to find, but I like Go Fast. Not just becuase of the name, but becuase the ingredeints are a lot better than Red Bull. Add me to the sugar free stack as well. The calorie count between the regular and sugar free is staggering

I like black coffee better. But its kinda hard to get in my dorm room. I don't like the energy drinks that much, but they are good for a road trip fuel, and they are good if i need to pull an all-nighter--especially if i can find the coffee kind. I still want to try Sparks.

Old skewl and still one of my favorites (if you can find it)

The NOS Berry drink is surprisingly good. I also like Red Bull Sugar Free. Pepsi MAX was a very hard one to let go of, but Pepsi made it easy by not stocking them in the local minute-mart anymore.

I'd try some of these, but that E36 M3 is essspensive!!! I drink berkeley tons of Red Bull when the cute chicks are handing them out fo free. Can't live without coffee. Hot, cold, whatever.

Black coffee rules. 100% natural, zero calories, and a pleasant kick. I did like Jolt Cola when I was still installing. Three cans of that stuff and the jobs went in FAST!!

I worked for Pepsi summer events for one summer. We got so much free soda I didnt buy soda for 3 months afterwards because I was so sick of soda. (Going to all the summer events was a perk too)

redbull sponsored my SAE mini baja team. BACK in the day. We were one of the first in the nation. I'll tell you something. 8-10 of those things in a day screws you right the hell up.

Dunno.....I drink a pot or so a day. black. nothing else beside coffee beans and water.

Don't forget the rat feces. That's where all the flavor comes from!

coffee to me is disgusting. I can't stand the smell, the taste, anything about it. I think I grew a hatred for it growing up and my parents waking me up in the morning with their coffee breath and the smell of it in the house.

I started drinking them this year when I needed a pick me up and my roommate buys them by the case. I was honestly amazed how quickly they went from "i'll drink them to wake me up" to "I can't start the day without them". As soon as i felt that happening I cut myself off. I'm not even sure it was just the caffeine or that + sugar/flavoring overload + whatever else they throw in there that makes you want as many as you can get your hands on.

Caffeine's a helluvadrug.

I like Red Bull and sometimes Monster especially thd coffee flavored ones. But I always go back to coffee, black, iced or hot.

Monster lo-carb, all the kick none of the calories
