What energy drinks do you all like?
I've never had a Red Bull, but I used to drink this NOS stuff and it didn't taste too bad.

Lately our local QFC has been stocking the Xyience Xenergy drink and I've been having those. The taste is really good and they don't have any sugar or corn syrup like most of the other stuff.

Pretty good little pick up for someone who doesn't drink coffee.


What do you like?

Never tried the Monster
But they do sell it in 6/12 packs here. That would be a benefit.

My only problem with the Xenergy is it is only sold by the single can. Which is probably good because it keeps me from drinking too much.

8. Monster is my second choice.

The green one tastes like green apple. Milk thistle is also good for the kidneys. A must-try.
There's also one called 'Kronik' that tasted a little like pot. Silly stuff, that.
But Guru is the greatest.

2. Water and enough sleep. Occasional fruit juice.
Stimulants are a bad idea.

9. No different than coffee really.
I have one at the start of my work shift. Sometimes another later if it's a rough day.

5. Guru!
Top of the heap, hands-down. Makes colors pop out. Legal.

O, how I miss it.

14. The coffee bean and my intestinal tract aren't on very good terms
I'd spend all my energy sprinting to the bathroom.

16. Hmm. Interesting.
It's been probably 20 years since I had a cup of coffee. Maybe I'll give it a try.

22. It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.
It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed,
The hands acquire shakes, the shakes become a warning.
It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.

17. Another vote for Guru.
All natural/organic. Tasty. I don't drink energy drinks often, but when I do, it's Guru.

18. None of them.
I can't drink energy drinks. Makes me crazy. I can't have a lot of caffeine. I might as well sniff a line..makes me feel the same way.

23. Can't do caffeine anymore.
When I did, it was always in the form of good coffee and an occasional diet soda.

All of the energy drinks I've ever tried have tasted like ass.

24. Me too. Until I tried the Xenergy.
I'm eager to try that Guru. Seems highly regarded.
