'energy drinks'

[cleareyes]

anyone drink these? my friend got me started on Sobe's "No Fear" (worst name ever) and i am hooked, the shit is expensive too, 3.22 for 473ml. but dammmmn down one of these while smoking a fat bowl and youll be sailing.

[Pinhole_Stars]

Ehh, I've heard you crash after them. When I'm burnt and have to work or be around my parents I usually just get something from starbucks.

[cleareyes]

ive actually only had this brand and there is no crash at all. what do your parents have to do with anything?

[Frivolous248]

My one friend drinks energy drinks like mad. They're too expensive for me to even bother. I've had a few. Amped, redbull, never really bothered to drink them more than a time or two though.

You should try BAWLS. Its not an energy drink, but its a high-caffeine drink, its real good.

[cleareyes]

hahaha, its got a good name, ive never seen it. i actually had to quit caffiene a few years ago, the shit that im drinking now has a bit in it but i can barely feel it. mostly taurine and ginseng

[fancy boots]

I am possibly the largest drinker of Energy Drinks on this forum. At least one Monster a day. I think the tabs that I've actually collected equaled over 400 in less than a years time.

And before anyone states how they 'buzz' or get hiped from that shit, that's a complete lie. It's all a placebo effect. I drink them because Monsters taste so damn good.

you know what... on january first... me and you should have a contest to see who drinks more energy drinks... i drink like a 4 pack of red bull everyday...

and to the thread starter... its funny... me and you both drank the same thing as the first energy drink... sobe no fear...

[cleareyes]

does red bull have any carbonation to it? thats what i like about sobe no fear, the little bit of fizz it has.

[partyguy420]

hold on, let me go open one up...a tinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy yyyyyyyyyyyyy bit of crabintion...

[slipknotpsycho]

lol....................... i used to drink them, back when i had alot of court dates, and could never sleep the night before... the energy they give you is basicly, caffiene... i'd rather spend the few bucks on the bottle of pills, and get quite a few uses out ofit, then the drink itsself, for the same price and use it just that once...... unless you actually like drinking them, everyone trust me on this..... just save yourself lots of unneeded dolllars and pop two caffiene pillls (about 50 of which come in each bottle) for the same effect... (and i intake caffiene, in Cokes, all day long... so that doesn't matter either, just trust me, if you only look for the energy in the drinks, just take the pills, you'll save yourself lots of money)

[cleareyes]

pills dont taste delicious like berries, nor do they quench your thirst via 473ml of liquid. i dont really drink them for the effect, i find 'effect' is only marginally noticable anyways, perfect for me. since caffiene sets me off like Wat!

[dejayou30]

i think these drinks are placebo. i don't think they have any effect on me or my level of energy. i've tried red bull and the sobe ones.

like i said, unless you actually like drinking them, just save yourself the money, meaning those who drink them primarily for the effect, which excludes you... cuz you get about the same effect off both... just let me go a little bit more into clarifing it, for those hardheaded (not nessicarily you so don't take it that way please, i don't feel like arguing today) if you like them for the TASTE, keep drinking them as you wish, if you like drinking them for the ENERGY, invest in a bottle of caffiene pills (NoDoz) and take two of those when you'd drink your energy drink.. you'll get the same effect...

[Skink]

I have maybe tried 3 or 4 and nothing beats pepsi in my eye...

[Matt the Funk]

Energy Drinks are so bad for you. I was drinking like 3 of the re-sealable monsters a day over summer. I don't think it's placebo. I can feel the energy drinks in my body and they make me happy and energized. Like cheap mans meth. YOu only feel them if you don't drink them often though. I think only monster taste good. I want to try bauls though.

building a tolerance sounds highly logical...

[JeenYuss]

the only energy drink i like is Monster, and only with Jager

[funky not a junky]

I like a lot of the energy drinks. I really stopped drinking them when one night i decided that i was going to have 9.5 monsters in a 3 hour period. I dont think they really affect me anymore. Basically i stayed up all night and the next day i was in a weird funk. But i like the taste but dont drink them much because they dont do too much for me, I like real drugs, like weed.

[slipknotpsycho]

actually skink, one of the main ingredients of any energy drink is caffiene and you can build a tollerance AND become addicted to caffiene..... for years i thoguth i had migraines and took excedrin migraine for it.. only figuring out later, the thing causing my headaches (that wasn't curable by conventional asprin or tylenol) was the fact excedrin migraine was high in caffiene, i was addicted to caffiene... any time these energy drinks 'worked' on me, was at a time when my caffiene intake was lowered, quite a lot in fact.... so you can build a tollerance, but you're not building a tollerance to these energy drinks, you're actually just building a tollerance to caffeiene....


drink these things everyday for 2-3 weeks, then take yourself off of them, and see ifyou don't get the same, unexplainable, "uncurable" headachs and see if they don't magically dissapear when you take excedrin migraine formula.... only if you meet those two prerequisates, may you then call me "on my bullshit" lol...

[Mr.Jesus]

there's a new kind called cocaine.. pretty awesome http://www.drinkcocaine.com/

[Halcy0n]

@ the people who say it's placebo: of course it's not.

And I can get a slight buzz off those things. Just because you can't doesn't mean nobody else can. That and you probably just have a high tolerance.

[MastaChronic]

i like the three-in-one bookoos

[Frivolous248]

For the record: Energy drinks don't just have caffeine in them. They have other stuff that is supposed to give you energy. In fact, theres really not much caffeine in most, theres just stuff like "ginseng" or whatever that gives you energy. Thats why BAWLS isn't an energy drinks, its simply a high-caffeine soft drink. So in case you think that energy drinks are energy drinks because of all the caffeine in 'em (which actually, is like, really not much caffeine at all...) then your wrong.

[Skink]

I like those little viles of ginseng extract,,,they make me feel light headed and zippy...

no, not saying that's what's in all of them, or atleast that's what all the company's are counting on.... but that's what it in most of them..... and that's what most of the 'energy' in them that the company's are counting on... yes i know all about ginseng.... and actually i knew about it since Arizona tea came out... just alot of them, rely on the sugar and caffeine to provide that energy, and i was only saying, atleast for most, you can get that same effect, for a hell of a lot cheaper, by popping a couple of caffiene pills instead of every drink of that crap you drink.... just had to let you know i DO know the diffrence..

[Cheery Cherry]

I've tried some energy drinks and every time, they make me feel really sick. So I started drinking coffee a couple of months ago...I can only handle about a cup because I start buzzing like I'm on speed.

hm.. tha'ts funny.... both coffee and the energy drinks end up makign me sick when i 'come down'... if you drink multiple cups of coffee do you find your self getting sick, like when you drink an energy drink? if so it's got to be the caffiene in 'em (otherwise, someone tell me one ingredient they share other then sugar and water lol)

[Reefer Rogue]

I don't drink energy drinks or coffee. I'll drink tea sometimes. Once my friend drank 8 redbulls and his nose started to bleed, lol.

[partyguy420]

thats funny... but i think it was caused by something else... cause ive drank like 7 and then like 3 or 4 big ass energy drinks... and i chuged them like i chug beers... and i basicaly was hyper for about 30 minutes, and passed out

[lil josh]

i rely like rd bull and ive drunk 8 cans in 12 mins b4 :) it was a challenge

and red bulls are slightly fizzy

i dont like coke or pepsi ect.. i dnt find that they quench my thirst, id rather drink lucozade sport awwww

[cambam]

I used to be a big drinker of redbull. But i have subsituted redbull for Orange Lucuzade. You cannot beat that shit. I only drink redbull now with vodka.

[crf250smoker]

MONSTERS MAN, best drink in the world

[Dmo18]

ive tried those store bought energy drinks and didnt do anything to me. but if you go to GNC the have this shit called NO-Xplod and its a powder you mix with water before you work out. and it for sure works. if your not careful and drink too much your arms and hands will start shakin uncontrollably. they probably arent healthy to drink everyday, but i drink one bfore i work out

[RedLocks]

hah was gonna say the same thing, I drink at least 4 red bull a day, one monster energy drink pfft! I drink only red bull really, love the shit! One drink I like that I don't see often is Boku energy shots i think it is called, little can about half of a red bull but with just as much caffeine if not more, makes my heart feel funny when I drink em ;)

[Cheery Cherry]

hm.. tha'ts funny.... both coffee and the energy drinks end up makign me sick when i 'come down'... if you drink multiple cups of coffee do you find your self getting sick, like when you drink an energy drink? if so it's got to be the caffiene in 'em (otherwise, someone tell me one ingredient they share other then sugar and water lol)

Coffee doesn't make me sick because I have had a few cups (made me really jittery) before (when I was really tired) but energy drinks definitely make me feel sick to my stomache.

[tschmidty32]

i got a sweet collection of enegry drink cans and sobe bottle and shit...pretty cool lookin i must say...i'll post a pic when i'm ripped sometime.

[partyguy420]

you do know that if we have that contest, i will not drink or eat anything besides red bull... and i will not smoke anything, insted, i will drink red bull..

[slipknotpsycho]

i always get that jittery 'weak' feeling, right before i get sick.... lol.. one cup, or a cuppachino from exxon or something like it, nothing, but if i drink a few cups.... omg i'll end up sick...

[LuckyNiner]

i drink like a 4 pack of red bull everyday...


Hahaha, me too. I absolutely love that shit. My brother got me 4 of those 4-packs for Christmas....

[Domiko]

Bawls all the way.

/gamer.

[Grape Ape]

Monsters for sure, tastey... :)

[tootsie roll]

I love my redbull. I don't want no pill, I want my bull. Xtra large size please. 2 of em and then we'll talk about more.:D

[tootsie roll]

See, coffee makes me sick to my stomach so bull is great for me. Expensive tho.

[Dibiticus]

I survive on monster and diet mountain dew, I ran out one day and I had massive headaches and I couldn't do anything, I drink at lest 2 xxl monsters a day, but usually 3, and like 6 cans of dew.

[Way2many]

Love energy drinks, im down for the classic's though like ill drink the hell out of some red bull.

[SwirlyMass]

jeeze i didn't think they were that popular.

well, i hope you all like cancer because you have offically doubled or tripled your risk factor.most energy drinks have caffiene and guarana* and stuff like b vitamins which is why i like them, the big XXL can of monster is soooooo good. i drink one and i can party all fucking night long.

but there is a dark secret behind energy drinks and almost all soft drinks too. Sodium Benzoate, so next time you're drinking a soda or any fizzy drink you should check the ingredients to be sure you aren't drinking a carcinogenic cocktail.

Sodium Benzoate it a cheap preservative they use to keep things fresh and isn't harmful (well not VERY harmful) on its own., but when combined with ordinary vitamin C it breaks down into salt and benzine. Benzine is one of the most carcinogenic chemicals known to man. but Vitamin C which is known as Ascorbic Acid isn't in every soda, just orange and citrus sodas and just about every single energy drink. But it's also readily available in humans too, LUCKY US!



But don't worry too much, you're all gonna die someday anyways right? I mean after all small amounts of benzine are also found in our air now thanks to the wonderful industry of burning fossil fuels. So basically its everywhere, its in car exhaust and food and drinks and even the air we breathe.

so in conclusion: YOU'RE FUCKED 6 WAYS THRU SUNDAY ANY WAY YOU LOOK AT IT. THANKS AMERICA.:mad:
