Why spend $2 a can/bottle for red bull or bawls when a 12 pack of mountain dew will run you at most $3.50. (In a variety of flavors, code red being the best of course)

As for the other discussions: caffeine and sugar are going to have far noticable effects on you if you're doing something like gaming or cramming for a test than if you were stocking shelves at high speed or running. The herbs and vitamins are there to help the effects on muscles. One of the reasons people slow down when they're working is when they begin to feel their muscles in pain. If you can reduce that pain, that person is going to work at that higher speed for a longer period.
Since I've spent probably $100 or so on energy drinks alone in the past few months, I can tell you from firsthand experience that all of the days that I was sweating from working so hard involved 2-3 energy drinks taken at lunch break. They DO work, even if you develop a tolerance to sugar or caffeine.

lol, no way I'm ever drinking kick again... if I drink a bottle of that stuff I can't sleep properly for the next 3 days, I get headaches when it finally starts leaving my system and I sometimes get the shakes. It must have like 3 times whatever redbull has in it ^^;
I miss lucozade's solstice. That was yummy and there were many grand debates in uni over which was better between solstice and red bull. The massive discount the student shop put on regularly between the two drinks often meant some of my class-mates would wander in with carrier bags of the stuff XD solstice is a more sweeter, sort of honeyed taste while redbull's taste seems to have more 'kick' to it and tang. The sugar free version of RB is softer and sort of puts it inbetween solstice and normal redbull taste-wise :3

Aussie red bull loses. Back when I would have LAN parties with friends or just muck about the neighbourhood at night, we were horrible consumers of power drinks. Coffee, Red Bull we'll drink em to stay up allllll night long. We found aussie red bull (blue+silver can) to be inferior in taste to Thai Red Bull (shorter golden can). Seriously, aussie red bull = blech.

In an attempt to maximise the amount of time I would have to make a great Uni project I drank a whole bottle and a bit.
I was literally bouncing off the walls. And, what was worse I got no sleep and felt fine for the whole day O.o
I also believe that most of the stuff have the sort of power of belief in them. They say "oh this'll get you active and going" and you drink it and think to yourself "wow this really works look at me Im jumping somersaults for pure joy" You can say it works. Instead if you take it with a grain of salt (non-literally) and a certain attitude: just drink it and you'll notice NO effect most likely.
Next time someone wants an energy drink, offer him a bottle of fresh water and tell him it's a new case on the market and wait for him to go "WOW this sure does replenish all the needs for energy!" <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
while that's true to some degree I didn't know red bull was an energy drink or that it was supposed to give you 'pep' the first few times I drank it, but the insomnia still happened <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I drink Monster when I need to stay conscious for a Halo match with some friends after a day of doing crap in the real world, but I generally don't use energy drinks too often. Oh yea, and Monster is the only energy drink whose taste I find enjoyable, though I can endure a Red Bull if I have to.
Instead, I keep a few sticks of BlackBlack gum on me. A lot more convenient because you don't have to hold it or drink it, and easier to carry as well.
No seriously, all energy drinks are very bad for you!
Red bull is also very bad for you if you drink soooo much of it. It has a nasty habbit of thickining your blood causing clots etc later in life.
Water is your best option.
And if your gunna drink red bull i would suggest adding vodka or scrap the whole thing and stick to JD and coke. <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd--> I'm afraid to ask what you need energy for, considering the last time I commented on something you said.
