    I thought that only absolute morons drink energy drinks.

    As far as tiredness is concerned, I found the key to beating it was quitting coffee. Ever since I stopped drinking coffee, I'm no longer reliant on any stimulant to feel aware, sleep better, and generally have more energy.

    I don't know about my favorite but don't forget the Gridlock from Aldi. It's just a mega dose of caffeine without the different new age supplements but is also a good value. I haven't had one for about a year. It has a good replica of the red bull flavor.

    I'm totally sugar and caffeine free, some one gave me a, I think it was a Jagger bomb! I can't tell you how I'll it made me!
    Sugar levels rocketed to an almost dangerous high, my head hurt like someone was hurling my brain about in my head!
    So I asked my doc why that happened, seems if your doing it for energy, or a boost! You would be as well to eat a portion of kids serial, at least your heart is saved from the caffeine...your getting the sugar still!

    I've tried them, but they taste like shit and I don't really have caffeine in general, so drinking one of these makes me feel jittery/like shit.

    They are OK. Have drank them randomly. Always careful not to become addicted to them. The red bulls have a good taste. Monster is thick and has the 666 and other symbols so I def don't drink it

    I just saw this energy drink at Speedway called Spike, which as 350mg of caffeine per can, which is more than the Redline energy shots, which contain 300mg of caffeine.

    I used to work night shifts too. And when it got too hot to drink coffee, I drank Yerba Mate instead. Better for you than your typical energy drink.

    Usually I avoid energy drinks too. However if I wanna stay up and party through the night until sunrise, I'll order a few Vodka Redbulls.

    I found a new one that I'm really enjoying.

    It's a tall can of Monster, white can called Zero Ultra. Sugar free yadda yadda. Nice though. :)

    Coffee usually does it. But occasionally I will get a can of red bull. I try and be cognizant of my caffeine consumption. Mostly just morning coffee. Mormons do not drink coffee or tea because of the drug caffeine. Ok

    I found I am better without but when I need to be awake and aware for an extra few hours I prefer...well I don't know the name. You ever see those drink mixes in the water Isle at Walmart? It's a small box that has 10 pieces in it. You mix them with a 16-20 Oz. Water bottle. They have an energy one that works for me.
    Also sodastreams energy drink tastes just like Redbull. You don't need the machine, you can just mix it with a bottle of seltzer water. You just have to get the amounts correct. The advantage to the original sodastream is its all measured out already.
