    Coffee for me! I drank a rockstar one day and I felt like my heart was going to explode. I do not buy Starbucks or any othe expresso shit. I have a coffee pot and drink Yuban, usually 4 8oz cups a day and I'm good.

    Red Bull, Rockstar, Monster, the likes of usually make me feel like shit!

    I find my usual cups of Joe and EXCERCISE work wonders for staying awake!

    Water helps a lot also BTW!

    stock, for now
    I used to drink them because they tasted good, then my pants stopped fitting so well. I havent had one since, and that was like a year ago. I rarely drink soda anymore, but every once and a while I need something with a little taste in it, so I'll get a cherry pepsi.

    Best thing about 5 hour energy when doing long drives is that you don't have to go pee like with energy drinks or coffee

    When I was overseas, we used to get issued 2 Redbull per day for our convoys. Until one guy drank 10-15 in a day, and ended up having a heart attack. That stopped really quick.

    Monster, now.

    I was up late studying for a final exam with a classmate, and we were hella tired.. soo we went to 711.

    We each had a 5 hour energy, a 12 oz Red Bull and a bottle of NOS.
    Talk about fuck your shit up.

    Chest pain, tachycardia, troubles breathing...

    We both just laid there trying not to move, to keep our hearts working at the lowest level possible...


    Worst part of it... we were studying for our paramedic final.

    I am with you. I had a full night of drinking bull blasters on my bachelor party, and that whole night till the morning I was throwing up. My wife left in the bath room, when I woke up I had a bruise on my chin from hitting the bowl everytime I had to spew. Since then I can't drink or smell Red Bull or Jagermeister, and most other enegy drinks.
