I decided continuing to do so would probably kill me or at leats rot my teeth out so I dropped it.

Now I just have pop or straight caffeine pills, i'm sure those are healthier options

I will need to take something though before tonight's match.

Pop will really do you in. Get a 5 hour Energy on your way home, I've got mine already.

Which flavour did you have? the berry one is alright, lemon-lime is quite awful and apparently there is an orange flavour but I have yet to see it anywhere.

Anyway, who consumes energy drinks for the taste?

Think it might had been the berry one, and if thats ''alright'' by your standards then I dare try the other flavours!

And I like the taste of V/Shark/Relentless etc, gotta be a reason why people mix their vodka up with Red Bull.

it does have a bit of a shocking aftertaste, a bit like kool-aid without sugar. but it's a quick shot and away you go.

no they're not even 90 minutes but I've always had terrible cardio. The alertness etc., from the drink lasts 8-9 hours for me. I usually down it around 4pm and remain wide awake at least until 12:30 or 1am.

How about some Cocaine?

The appearance on the British market of the drink is set to spark a storm of protest in the wake of soaring fears over the effects on young drinkers of Red Bull.

Trade magazine the Morning Advertiser said that it had been told by sources from the newly-formed company Ocke Cokey that the high-caffeine stimulant drink Cocaine, made from guarana and containing 750 milligrams of taurine, will be available in both the on and off-trade in the UK this summer.

The new product will be rolled out in red 8.4oz cans with the words “Cut Cocaine” spelled out in a white granular substance.

Sources told the Morning Advertiser: “It is going to create controversy, but that’s the beauty of this name - everyone that objects to it is going to be selling my product.

“You’ve got products like the perfumes 'Charlie’ and 'Opium’ and they’re fine.”

Just drinking some 'Red Rooster' now in a vain attempt to do some of the work I should have done today.

Brad · 31st July 2008, 22:41

I dreamed this thread would come, one day...

I can out myself for the Lucozade-aholic I've become! It's essential drinking, always before football, and often during the rest of the day too. I'm finishing some wine now, but I have an orange 'big one' on stand by! Orange sport before footy, fizzy orange afterwards

They should actually employ me, the number of people I convert into believers

you do know that Red Bull was invented in Thailand by some criminal mate of Sinatra's, don't you?

Alex · 1st August 2008, 08:28

Gatorade is the best imo

How exactly do you get a vodka redbull shot? surely its just a standard drink

Michael Jackson loves Dairylea · 1st August 2008, 08:48

I remember playing squash every week for about 6 weeks or so, and I always tended to have Lucozade, even though it didn't feel like it worked, but one week I forgot it, and felt so tired on just water alone. Either withdrawal symptoms or I was just tired.

Relentless is the one for me now

That or Kick, Tesco's own which is cheap, probably terrible for you and probably doesn't do much but I've aquired a taste for it.

McLovin · 1st August 2008, 10:22

I prefer it over Red Bull. Used to drink around 5/6 a day during my finals' week.

didsbury1982 · 1st August 2008, 10:43

Those energy drinks are so bad for you and they taste like shit. Good with Vodka though! If you want an energy boost get some of these down you:

Also as a bonus they are the best hangover cure i've ever found as well!

Dr. Dwayne · 1st August 2008, 13:23

my energy drink kept me up until almost 2am last night. That's nearly 10 hours of alertness from 2 ounces (about 60ml).

Sod off. I got a load of those for free at the Hatton Lazcano bout, a handy tactic of keep going back to the freeby tent meant I managed to take 4 home with me. But they don't taste good, and I wasn't all that impressed by their energy boost

Ceks · 5th September 2008, 11:26

Here's a sneak peak of a new energy drink (I shouldn't be doing this) that my company have been working with. It's a little different from traditional energy drinks, but I expect it to be a big sucess.

Would be good to get a few of your opinions on it.

Looks good to me. But how does it taste?

Treble in a pint glass with ice! Costs about 15euro though
