Energy Drinks

I'm really picky about what I drink. Normally it's just water, juice, and pop. I always thought energy drinks were stupid so I never tried them.
That "5hr energy" piqued my interest. That little bottle that's packed with B vitamins and not sugar. I'm usually pretty groggy when I get off work and never get anything done so I thought I'd try the stuff and see if there was a difference. It was really bitter. You'd think you could drink it in one shot but I had to sip on it. Energy isn't a replacement for motivation but I managed to stay busy afterwards. I didn't feel any different but I wasn't groggy either so it's hard to say if it was all in my head or not.
I could have bought a canned drink for half the price. So I decided to test other energy drinks.
So far I've only tried a couple flavors of Monster. This "Nitrous Monster: Super Dry " stuff that had a twist on cap wasn't bad. "Dry" described it pretty well, like drinking fizzy rock candy. But the last two monsters I had tasted exactly the same: one was green and the other a orange "Khaos" or something. Nasty stuff, couldn't drink the whole thing and had to wash it down with water.
Not something you'd drink to quench your thirst I guess. But I definitely felt a jittery sugar rush after drinking them.

I'm going to try a Redbull next.
 
I just like coffee. Energy drinks taste weird. Then again, I don't really drink soda often, and AMP is just glorified mountain dew.

Awesome Bro

I don't like energy drinks, they all taste, as Wyatt has said, like cat piss (We use that term here too, lol...)

I don't mind coffee, although I LOVE tea, lol...

All I drink is tea, dilute (Blackcurrent or Orange), and Diet Coke, lol...
 
i like the taste of most energy drinks - red bull and other cheaper variants of that, mostly
problem is that it makes my heart beat funny so i try to avoid drinking it really

I actually enjoy Full Throttle: Blue Agave flavor

I don't drink energy drinks ever. I've only had a vault and a red bull in my life. The vault just left a crappy aftertaste in my mouth, and I fell right asleep after drinking the red bull. Normally I drink tea - now thats the good stuff.
 
I remember drinking a vault and getting sick right after. Of coarse you're not suppose to spin around on a merry-go-round right after eating...but I blame it on the vault, yeah.

this me too
 
I drink Monsters once in a while but I try and refrain from it because they're pretty expensive. I like the taste but I don't actually feel any more energized from them. And Red Bull tastes terrible. :barf:
 
I personally think all energy drinks taste pretty gross and for the most part its just a bunch of sugar and carbs packed into one drink. Its been a fad that I really dont get. o:
