are you an energy drink consumer?

I don't know if I did or not. It was years ago. Never wanted another one anyway after it looked and tasted so nasty. It was chunky and brown. I'm not sure if they're supposed to be chunky, brown, and taste like stomach acid, but this one did.

No not chunky, haha. ewwww.

Should have a tangy taste. Umm maybe imagine warheads candy with a bitter after taste mixed into sugar.
Or imagine a multivitamin flavor more intense but sweet.

Maybe I should have sued when I had the chance, then...

I was a big time energy drink addict, Red Bull in particular. After calculating how much money I was spending on them every week, I quit cold turkey. Lol.

It had also gotten to the point that my kidneys were hurting, since quitting Red Bull there's no more pain in my kidneys.

It's funny because I feel like my energy levels are much higher since I stopped putting that crap in my body and the afternoon slump is not nearly as drastic as it was prior.

Though, I do still drink coffee, about 3-5 small cups per day and there's no way I could quit coffee, no freakin way!

Nope. Last time I drank an energy drink, it made me have a massive anxiety attack. I actually thought I was dying. Never again.

Caffeine being a diuretic, it usually makes one have to wee, and I notice this often. I drink about 3 regular sized cups of coffee a day, in one sitting usually, as I use a larger cup, but I also drink energy drinks. I love caffeine, lol. It makes me more productive, but it is a drug, and it is addictive, which I think people tend to overlook. I think that if the government tried to outlaw coffee, that the results would be 20 times worse than the prohibition of alcohol. The most I have ever consumed was 3 energy drinks in a day, and I stopped doing that because it is too excessive. Too much caffeine seems to have a negative effect on me. Usually I will not drink coffee if I drink an energy drink, and I usually will only have one. Sometimes two, but rarely. Every once in a while I will drink both coffee and an energy drink during the same day, but I try not to. I've tried every single type of energy drink that I have been able to find in my area, and now I only drink NOS. I feel that the effects are more pronounced than any of the others. I do not like the energy shots however. The feeling I get is not the same as a regular energy drink.

Jägerbombs!

The first few drafts of the Harrison Act of 1914 ( the law that created "illegal" drugs ) included caffeine as a potentially prohibited substance.

I am a coffee nut. *gets up to put the pot on. Thanks for the reminder...
I LOVE red bull though. I would drink a 2 liter in one sitting if they made it. Its so good. It makes me salivate with anticipation when I hear the nose opening a can makes. I get happy when I feel the cold little can in my hands and that bitter sweet taste takes over as the first sip comes over my lips...man it like porn...

LOL

Yes, red bull is incredible. I dont think it even has an effect on me anymore. I can sleep just fine after drinking a few cans. Its more the taste. SOOOO good. Caffeine and taurine has allot to do with it too I guess....lol
