Shooting espresso is the way to go. Energy drinks are for girls ;)
I've got both, the Handpresso is the more expensive and the one I use least, but it's best where you can't carry fresh coffee around. Other than that, the Aeropress is fantastic.
Hmm, I thought Red Bull would be the starting point for any energy drink roundup.
My picks are:
Red Bull
Rockstar (in the various flavours)
Samedi
Mother (made by the Coke Colla company here in Australia, tastes awesome)

this is one of the many reasons i love bit tech. I have never actually had any enegy drinks before (not even red bull). I mean, i have had a sip of V before, but it tastes like sugar. apparently mother is pretty nice too.
My fave is Amp, and of the small shot style ones, 5 Hour Energy, or Kickers 80 Hour (ridiculous claim in the name). Rip It used to be sold at my high school, but the extreme jitteriness it caused in everyone who drank it caused them to pull it.. Definitely try Amp though, it's made by Mountain Dew, but it tastes better IMO, and instantly wakes me up. I only drink 5 Hour Energy when I need to pull an all-nighter or something.
Monster is gross, same with Red Bull.
How about trying other caffeinated products? Mints, gum, soap, etc.
I'm American. Dew=do. I can't even figure out another way to pronounce it and I'm really trying. I don't understand what overpronounced means. Dew is do. I can't pronounce it any other way.

The relentless made with pure juice is really nice actually.. they have at least 3 different flavours. but yea the one that was 'reviewed' does resemble a big can of red bull (how come red bull wasn't reviewed!!?!?)
It's weird but I find drinking a lot of water keeps me more alert than sugary caffeinated beverages. I also feel better in the morning and am able to get to sleep right away when I lay down. If I drink energy drinks I waste a lot of time trying to get to sleep and feel tired in the morning. I've learned this the hard way with all of the nights I've had to stay up late studying.

If you don't like them, you don't have to read them :P , but I love reading these articles, so bring on the snacks roundup!
Bawls - G33k Beer (root beer flavored cola)
The monster energy shots are good, but still very sugary.
Full Throttle is good, several flavors available.
Rockstar is pretty good as well.
In agreement on the glass bottle bawls, much better than the cans.
Lo-Carb monster is my poison of choice. Not as sugary/thick as the others. Kind of an aquired taste.

ReplyYup.
Ideally a Aerobie Aeropress or a Handpresso
