I am curious i tried red bull last week for the first time 3 days in row....
sugar free large can..I really liked the taste and the instant energy was nice (however it seemed like nervous energy ..and 5 hours later...Bam the hitting of the wall almost felt like depression....yikes...3 days later no more no way...until today driving from houston to dallas halfway stopped for gas found my self getting one walked back to the cooler put it back....

Sooo I know their are other drink boosters out there (no way for me)

the question does red bull act the same way on others and how long have you been drinking it (red Bull) thanks :)
 
For a good long while I was hammering back a 12 pack of diet mountain dews and 4 or 5 red bulls daily.Once in a while I would throw in a 5 hour energy shot for good measure.
Around Christmas of last year it all caught up with me.I was staying so amped up on caffeine that I was only sleeping an hour or two a night and everyone and thing sent me into a blind rage.
2 trips to the mall with the wife the week before Christmas had me to the breaking point.Just hearing people walking by and breathing nearly drove me insane.The final straw was my wife telling me she would go stay with her parents if I couldn't get a handle on the myself.We called a doctor friend to get their opinion on what could be triggering my temper to go so crazy.The first thing they asked was what did I drink during a normal day and how much.They were floored and insisted I start cutting back ASAP.
I drink 1 diet dew a day now and sweet tea with supper,but the rest of the day its water.I'm still hot heaged,but don't fly off the handle nearly as quick and my wife says I'm much more mellow than I have been for several years.
 
I just drink coffee and gatorade all day and my xanny keeps me mello...Well, somewhat! :cool:
 
I've always drink 4-8 diet cokes all day long (never seem to finish one)

the red bull wasnt cheap either at 7-11 3.50 a can one was good 2 was better)

I noticed I was pretty angry edgy irritated etc

glad to hear you got off it:)
 
I drank a Venom energy drink one day...I almost chewed the inside of my mouth raw...
 
They are all addicting, I found myself spending about $300 a month on energy drinks. and wouldnt function without them. plus i was a ticking time bomb too. then the "crash" soo tired,no sleep,cigarettes,coffee, etc.... was headed straight for the ER now i stick to 3 cups of cofee a day plus water n beer:D

Holy crap, that's an insane amount of caffeine! :eek: I'm glad you've cut back now.
 
I have never tried the RedBull, Monster, 5-Hour, etc.... none of those.

I just drink Diet Coke, Gatorade, water, milk, orange juice, etc....

I have always been worried that I would get addicted to those energy drinks so I stayed away.

Now if I could stop drinking the diet cokes.

David, I'm 48, never had a cup of coffee or an energy drink. Don't need it. Only water for me, and a good sugar free diet. but I take my B-complex vitamins in the form of B-100. 1 tab a day. 2 month supply at walmart under $5
That, with increased exercise will give you the energy you need. In fact, if I want more than 4 hrs sleep a day, I need a sleeping aid.
 
I love the Red Bull and the Full Throttle by Coke. I haven't ever gotten addicted though. I like Full Throttle more cause I can drink it like a regular coke instead of a tiny can that just pisses me off. lol. I love a drink called a Jaeger Bomb. Jaeger and Red Bull!! Gets you tipsy but keeps you awake!!! Also known to put a bit of hair on your chest from time to time. (No Larry...I do not have hair on my chest!! LOL) Katt Williams has a comedy bit about "crazy white people" who get drunk but can't pass out because of the Red Bull. HAHAHAHAHA
 
Ewe...Nichole I hate Jager and I hate Red Bull but let me do a Jager Bomb and I'll be dancing non stop in the club for like 4 hours! LOL.

You really have to be careful with these drinks. Sleep and rest is the only way! Of course, sometimes it just doesnt happen that way.
One of my officers at the PD was drinking nothing but Red Bull all day long. She ended up in the hospital with kidney failure. She made it through but it was Red Bull that really messed her up.

If I MUST take something so that I'm not passing out on my keyboard at work, I've taken vitamin B12 before....
I also do the 5 Hour Energy shots too. They do not contain sugar or Guanine like the energy drinks.
They work for me. Doesn't make me feel all jittery or anything. I just dont feel sleepy anymore.

I LOVE 5 HOUR!!! I also love jaegar bombs. I took a 5 hour saturday night and went to the sisinlaws for a little party. I couldnt sit down till 2
 
I used to pound the soft drinks like Scott did. But Dr Pepper was my poison. After a trip to the ER and a stay in the hospital with Kidney Stones. No more carbonated drinks. Its just coffee in the morning, water and regular ice tea. Im also a fan of B complex. All you guys drinking those soft drinks are slowly poisoning and drugging yourselves to death. Water is way better for you.
 
Since vitamin B has been mentioned, what are some good ones out there, I heard that most of the vitamins you buy, your body really does not absorb them too good so sometimes you are throwing your money away.

What are some of the vitamin brands you guys have tried and actually felt better taking or saw some kind of results using?

Thanks.
