    Okay, flame war time.

    You need caffeine, but you also want some decent flavor.

    Redbull, Monster, or Rockstar?

    (Not including Reign because that is a “I need to do this 6 hour drive, fuck my organs” drink)

      Redbull is overpriced and tastes like the most generic energy drink flavor and Rockstar has no decent sugar free options (although blueberry Rockstar was pretty decent if I recall, but I don’t like the idea of having so much sugar). Leaves only Monster.

      Buy some guaraná pills, eat the dust out of the pill directly so the caffeine activates faster and then drink whatever non caffeinated drink you like, like orange juice.

      I wish… caffeine makes me feel like my heart is going to explode. Harder stimulants are fine, apparently. I miss coffee.

      For the flavour, cafe latte.

      But really, if you need caffeine, your body is addicted and need to lay off the stuff for a while to get your natural self back. You shouldn’t need it to function.

      Buying name brand energy drinks, in THIS economy? And I definitely don’t want to have half a liter of it in a container that can’t be closed, so if those three are the only options I pick Red Bull.

      Redbull Sugar Free. Zero is not as good. Original is ok too. We gave a try with Monster Ultra (zero sugar) once, it was wayyyyyyy to sweet. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen Rockstar in any shop
