UGH I used to drink like 3 NOS drinks a day and crash. Heart attack in a can. Said I was done maybe 6 years ago and Ive had HALF a can of Amp since then. gak is no good for you. I even quit drinking soda (I have a Mt Dew on the weekend as a "treat" lulz)

I avoid caffeine unless I am desperate to stay awake. I generally drink water, nature's chosen hydration method. Kicking the soda habit and drinking water is one of the few things I get really elitist about, and I have no idea why because it is kind of stupid.

I do get a bit concerned when I look around at my peers and see how many are hooked on some sor tof stimulant just to function day-to-day. Perhaps our lifestyle needs to be toned down a bit if we need to drive ourselves on stimulants all the time?

I have had one Red Bull and it tasted like Cherry Nyquil. Didn't care for it at all.

Did see one guy drink one of those large Monster energy drinks in a minute or two with no food on his stomach. We were laughing at him doing a speed walk around and around the warehouse for an hour. We told him to sit down and he said he couldn't stop. When he finally crashed from the sugar high he CRASHED........and had severe stomach cramps for a while.

No energy drink for me thank you.
