Energy drink alternatives? - Blu-ray Forum

Aaron · 10-02-2008, 05:11 PM

So...I have some night classes and I have to drink a Monster/Amp to keep me awake through them. Energy drinks scare me, there's so much weird crap in them, and they make my heart race. I tried drinking tea, but it doesn't work nearly as well. Same with coffee. What else should I try?

Thanks!

I drink a Red Bull every day I goto work and then follow it with 5 cups of water throughout the day.

A good way to maintain energy is to start working out.

ive found rockstars give me the most lift. drink 1-2 of them everyday.

I was on Rockstars but now on Monster. Most aren't as bad as people make them out to be. Just look up some of the ingredients. I was drinking one or two Pepsis each morning, so compared to that the Monster is an improvement.

Plus, the phosphoric acids found in most colas can actually limit your body's ability to absorb calcium, especially at the quantities I was drinking. The Monsters don't have that effect. After I had a bone density scan they started asking me a bunch of questions. Ends up that was why.

I know this sounds really stupid, but I just drink a lot of water. Probably 3 quarts to a gallon per day. I work all day, and go to class at night. I'm rarely tired.

Yea, water and tea is about I drink now. I probably drink ~7 bottles of water a day. I stopped drinking soda a few months ago.

Drinking alot of water will keep you awake since you have to go to the bathroom alot. A story I heard was that the day before a battle native Americans would drink alot of water before they went to sleep.
