Energy drink alternatives? - Page 2 - Blu-ray Forum

JasonR · 10-02-2008, 07:15 PM

I went from Red Bulls to Rockstars. They taste better, give you more energy, and are cheaper.

Monkey · 10-02-2008, 08:55 PM

I like Monster in general as well as Full Throttle's Blue Agave flavor. Rockstar isn't bad either.

NOS is some potent stuff but not sure if it would have a long term effect drinking that all the time

Orange juice. Nectar. Red Bull makes me sleepy, and since I'm not a caffeine drinker at all, coffee makes me HYPER to the point of being unable to do anything but bounce around the walls a la Daffy Duck.

22 oz NOS Fruit Punch only has 300 something mg of caffiene. That's so weak!

red bull is horrible, it eats away the enamel on your teeth. Unfortunately all that stuff gives you a boost then you crash after a while

Yeah, but is has Rhino testicle extract

Ok, maybe not but to me it seems to be more potent.

Do these drinks work as laxatives to anybody else? I swear I think they make me go sometimes

What you need is Ripped Fuel from GNC but they banned it.. My ex took that shit.. Regular dosage is 2 pills 3 times a day. I tried one pill and played basketball for 5 hours and still felt like I could run 10 miles.. Couldn't fall asleep until 5am..

yea, all that stuff was great, had ephedrine in it

Ugh, speaking of energy drinks, I've been up since 11 pm, and I'm still wide awake. I so need to lay off of them.

tommyboy81 · 10-02-2008, 10:06 PM

Non of this stuff does anything for me. I have co-workers that drink Monster, Red-Bull and coffee in the mornings but when I do it I don't feel any different. I just feel like I'm drinking sugared up favored soda. Energy Drinks and coffee don't do anything for me

FYI: Chuck Norris once had the idea to sell his urine as a canned beverage. We know this beverage as Red Bull.

They make this powder out of leaves down in Columbia...... works like a charm.... and it's from nature, so no crazy chemicals

Stay away from it if you have an addictive personallity, and not a lot of money

Of course if there ARE major side effects, I am a walking lawsuit waiting to happen I think. Right now I am killing the Rockstar Roasted Mocha's hard core. The problem is you build up an immunity to them I think. It used to be one or two would tide me over through the entire day plus not be able to sleep, now I can chug a can and go right to bed.

One thing I HAVE noticed though, I'm having wierd and vivid dreams since I started drinking them. Anybody else have that happen from energy drinks?

But as alternatives, there's some stuff at GNC, I wish I remembered the name, it's basicly legal speed. It's 100x better then any energy drinks, but talk about getting your heart racing. You'd feel like you just drank like 10 red bulls. Ask a nutrition store like GNC about energy pills, it's probably got a LOT less junk then monster and all.

i used started to drink a engery drink that we were selling at work for $1 because they were clearing out the stock and i noticed i started to have some weird trippy dreams .

Drink a couple of the 24oz Rockstars between 7 and 9 AM, you'll change your tune...

I've had 2 of those Coca Cola energy drinks around that time before because there was alot to get done at work. But got nothing out of it.

For me I have no problem keeping up with what I do at work. But when I get home and sit down? I'm out

SeahawxBlu · 10-03-2008, 12:00 AM

I favor the Low Carb variety drinks and Monster makes a nice one. It sells for like $30 a case at Costco. My favorite one though is the No Sugar No Fear in the blue can. Those are tasty, but at $2+, not so cheap.

That's the stuff I was talking about. And the blue stuff, that stuff is good

cravnsn · 10-03-2008, 12:18 AM

One cup of Joe in the morning & water for the rest of the day and I’m good. I watch a co-worker mix Mountain Dew with energy drinks and then ***** about her stomach hurting

I can’t do soda anymore. At age 17, I was downing 6-16 ounce Pepsi’s a day, and I’m sure it wrecked my stomach (not to mention insomnia to beat the band). There are foods I can’t even eat anymore and I’m sure it has to do with how I abused my digestive system.

ZackL · 10-03-2008, 12:24 AM

I just drink a couple pots of coffee through the day... but drinking water is probably the best. 5 hour energy is alright but there is a huge crash for me.(even though they say there is not)
