Energy drinks?

[DBroncos4life]

Anyone drink them? If so whats your fav? Im not big on them but I do like the Tab one. Its pretty good. Im trying to drink them because they have less Calories then Dr Pepper and when I drink anywhere between 6-10 bottles of that a day it adds up. Im not as young as I once was ;) Also am I the only one that drinks that much pop or what.

Fine, pour it into a Pepsi bottle!

Just make sure you let it settle first! ;)

In all seriousness though, try some isotonic drinks (non fizzy) they give you the energy you need - but i'm not sure of the calorie count.

Being in the UK though, anything i recommend will probably have a different name for you guys.

I am a big fan of Rockstar. Monster and Full Throttle are good too, but it seems that Rockstar puts me in a good mood as well as gives me energy.

[watermock]

Whatever Rayleen drank to have a litter of 9 babies, ugly but would be worked on the farm.

Seriously, things like some lowfat milk, orange juice, grape juce natural and tomato juice are tons better for you than this contrived zero calorie crap. natural things are always best. They throw some artificail sweetener in there and some calcium and act like it's some miracle. Eat carrots and try to eat your veggies. Next. These things like Red Bull are just complete junk. Drink some V8 if your sluggish. Might make you go clean out but it's better than the junk they are trying to sell. New models show it's great for you.

[OrangeShadow]

Not me i dont really like the taste of most. Red bull is disgusting

now Southern comfort,thats a drink.

[sirhcyennek81]

You want an energy drink? Coca-Cola or Pepsi. Have the same amount of caffeine as any energy drink, and usually cheaper.

:Broncos:

[maven]

Go with the one who created the energy market. Red Bull hands down. And if you're worried about calories, Red Bull sugar free.

[Smilin Assassin]

If yer lookin for less calories and still get the lil boost Dr pepper gives ya, I'd say try Diet Mt Dew.

I know, "diet?"...but, it really does taste like the original and I still get a jolt from Mt Dew.

FWIW

[watermock]

I always have some grapes or tomato juice or grape or cantalope and try to chug some low fat milk. These are real foods. Not any fiber but a good liquid.

One other thing, eggs and milk are not monsters at all. It was proven in a study supressed.

[Taco John]

I drink an occassional Rockstar or Red Bull...

[watermock]

Caffine doesn't have calories you dimwits.

I could care less if you drink Red Bull honestly. It tastes like crap and isn't as good as a good cup of black coffee.

I beg to differ. I'm not much of a coffee drinker & love the taste of Red Bull.

[Hogan11]

Every can of that stuff I've tried has been brutal.

If I'm looking for energy with bad taste, then I'm sticking with Expresso

[Play2win]

Zip FIZZ...

A true life saver...

[Play2win]

Quad Americanos do wonders also...

[Arkansas Bronco]

I drink 3-4 tall glasses of Black Coffee daily and about 8-10 Diet Cokes, that all suplies me with enough to keep going till night fall then comes the Jack//Bullette 4-10 shots to come down and go to sleep.

[sirhcyennek81]

Pop rocks and rootbeer. very energizing.

:Broncos:

[jet19]

rockstar- good energy tastes like arse
redbull- great with jaeger
von dutch- tastes like a jaeger bomb and has twice the kick of a red bull, like crack in a bottle!

von dutch is the best imo, tastes good and you will be amped!

[OrangeShadow]

Maven your sig rocks!

[Dr. Broncenstein]

I like a crack rock in the morning....

[DBroncos4life]

Caffine doesn't have calories you dimwits.
Drinks do retard.

[watermock]

Hey, I know drinks have calories...why do you play moron with something I never said? STFU. Red Bull tastes like crap, but if your used to eating it, I suppose it tastes good.

I eat all my drinks.

Really?

Espresso junkie. i got a really good machine for X-mas. Right now about 10 shots a day. Man, I get a lot done.

[watermock]

I like my coffee black and strong, but not expresso. Too bitter.

[Sassy]

What kind of machine did you get?

...also..does anyone know. I heard expresso has less caffeine than regular coffee.

[DBroncos4life]

You can get a 16oz can of Rip it at Wal Mart for a buck. Thats damn good for a energy drink. It taste pretty good, the only one I have had was the sugar free kind. Still if we go by my low number of DP I drank a day thats 1500 calories, while this crap has 0. I would rather go that way even if I do have to spend more money. ;D

[Maximus]

The king of all energy drinks.... Drum Roll..............!

Jolt Cola!

And Mountain Dew's new one is very good!

This one:
http://www.1stincoffee.com/rancilio-silvia.htm

Did a ton of research and this looked to be the best one/value.

I have heard that too about caffene content.

[Sassy]

Looks nice! I have a krups.

[Bronco_Beerslug]

Put all that sugar crap down and drink water.

If your under 45 and need energy you're cooked anyway so that sh*t won't help you.

[Sassy]

Earl Grey or Guinness. Either of those will do.

I have tried diet Dr. Pepper and it is pretty close to the real deal shoot that way and save on the cal's.

[Leroy The Disembowler]

i'll still fall asleep after drinkin redbull and all the other energy drinks...
this is the only stuff that ever worked for me: http://www.getyourfizzon.com/

I like Monster the best because the after taste doesnt linger around as much as Red Bull and Rockstar...

[ludo21]

Jolt Cola!

And Mountain Dew's new one is very good!


jolt, i havent had that stuff in a long time!!

Vault is awesome, .75 at Walmart, love it!:thumbs:

[Dudeskey]

I tried Rockstar when I first started doing all-nighters in my current job but my body always seemed to crash hard about 2 hrs later. So I stick with just drinking water which seems to be working fine for me (both make you piss a lot so whats the difference, right?). There's a lot of caffene in those energy drinks so they're going to dehydrate you some...™

[listopencil]

Just go buy "Stay Awake" at Wal-Mart. It's $2.97 for a box of forty caffeine pills. Each pill has 200 Mg's of caffeine. Take however many you want with whatever drink you want and be happy.

[uk bronco]

In scotland they've just launched Irn-Bru 32 which tastes just like normal Irn-Bru (a fizzy drink) but with 3 times the caffeine its pretty nice but once you've drank a lot it becomes nasty

[Ninjafied]

As Homer once said, “Marge, put on a pot of coffee; drink it and start making burgers. I’m pulling an all-nighter!”

[kent156]

red bull is good along with some vodka does it for me
