The battle of the energy drinks

[EBondo 233]

I like Monster, the BFC can is ridiculous. Double the size of a regular 16 oz. Monster. Bawlz is pretty good (cue the jokes here), but hard to find around here. I used to drink two cans of Monster every morning until I got really sick and had to go on an inhaler because I was having trouble breathing. Turns out the damn stuff was eating the insides of my stomach out...yay. So now I rarely drink em, but I've turned to the Diet Pepsi Max for my caffeine fill. I like it. Reminds me of Pepsi One. BTW, anyone know where I can get some of that? I never see it anymore, and it used to be my favorite drink.

Why would you drink that much in the morning EBondo? Ive never seen the appeal in energy drinks, or coffee, or any high caffeine substance. Can someone care to explain?

The mind-set of today's culture focusing on squeezing intensity and "extreme" into everything.

I drink Pepsi or Mt.Dew for a pick-up, just sugar for a quick pop and a little caffeine to help attentiveness in the early morning when I'm groggy and in class.

I'm not a morning person at all.

If people knew what this sh!t did to their teeth...

I've drank like 5 in my whole life... Lost energy drink was the best IMO

I don't drink the energy drinks, they're just concentrated pop w/ caffeine and "vitamins" mixed in. Garbage.

I do love coffee though! But I don't over do it, being all jittery at work is no fun. It's a pick me up in the morning, i usually don't even finish my travel mug. A nice rich cup after a good (weekend) dinner is nice too.

I used to drink them on the regular... Low Carb Monster is my preferred though. I play really, really late at night (12:20am to 2am on Friday night/early Saturday mornings)... and most times when I get out of hockey, I'll still be revved up for hours on end from playing. I noticed energy drinks make you crash... so playing that late, I'll drink one and welcome the crash when I get home.

The same reason people that aren't marathon runners actively involved in the running of a marathon are drinking Gatoraide, I guess.

[Eazy_b97 1]

I drink them fairly often. I usually rotate between Monster (M-80 and Assault) and the Amp (red/green).

used to be an energy drink fiend. Had bad sleeping patterns and didn't feel healthy. Stopped drinking them and feel much better now. They aren't good for you but I think Monster makes the best hands down.

Basically what Rustpot said. Not a morning person at all, and I need some kind of jump in the morning or I'll fall asleep during all my important classes. Been that way for a long time...

I'll rock a red bull + jager when I want to start the night off wrong.

Yeah, that Monster BFC is ridiculous. That's gotta be close to lethal.

[Rustyhole 1]

Don't drink them often but when I do it's always Red Bull.

me too; never tried the others

Energy drinks are stupid, imo. Well atleast the whole culture deal behind them. I see kids like woo i bought 4 energy drinks before class and I'm going to carry them around all day because it makes me EXTREME.

Or an idiot i played in badminton was like, yeah i drank 3 monsters, im fucking ready to play brady.

Too bad that didn't work out for the poor guy.

Turkish coffee..... End of thread...

I don't know what's funnier - the whole sentence or the fact that you admitted you play badminton.

[mack 44]

I'm hoping it was for gym because I think almost all schools force kids to play that damned game.

[jmiro 55]

I actually had to take a badmiton class in college. They make you take a P.E. class and that was all that was open.

[Rustpot 1]

There's a badminton club here at college. It's all asian guys playing at Super Turbo + speed while their girls/wives sit by and watch. Kinda creepy actually.

I've got a friend that blows through energy drinks like mad. Well, he did until he was hospitalized and the doctor told him to never touch the stuff if he doesn't want to become epileptic.

[-brady2 0]

Nope, I play badminton. If you look at who qualifies for provincials from my school, its me and my left winger levi who made it for singles(also got invited to team pacific), our goalie and my lines center playing doubles. The grade 11 rep from our school who got third in provincials last year is also an awesome hockey player, whl lettered and went to a jr.a main camp, the representatives from our zone in grade 12 doubles is a guy who plays in the dub and a guy who plays jr.a. It's all hockey players who play badminton here.

I had this pre-mixed Rockstar Energy/vodka drink last night. It was absolutely vile. It was so sweet that I could feel my teeth decaying with each sip. Though curiously enough, a can of that stuff was actually cheaper than a can of regular Rockstar without the vodka.

I have started to drink Monster, and I honestly really like it.
