I've tried most of the big ones...
Red Bull
Sobe
Monster
Hansen.
Pretty sure I'm immune to all of them.
Any unknown energy drinks out there that work well?

Red Bull and Rockstar seem to work pretty well for me. Redline is also pretty good, but more expensive.
I saw a Steven Segal energy drink at 7-11 the other day. Funny stuff.

Red Line works pretty well.
Give Black Pearl a try too, mostly a workout energy drink, but seems to do the trick.

I really like Rockstar, but I'm more interested in taste and the avoidance of nausea. Most energy drinks give me major stomach rot.

Monster Lo-Carb is my choice. Not a bad taste and seems to get me going.

Thailand is the ancestral home of energy drinks.
Red Bull stole the Thai formula, carbonated it, and marketed it in the West and took off.
If you can find a Thai grocery store near where you live (usually located near Chinatowns or vietnamese neighborhoods) look for the original stuff:
Kratingdaeng (uncarbonated redbull)
Carabao or Caribou Daeng
M-150
Shark (carbonated)
They're much cheaper than red bull and better too.

Red bull and Vodka

Rockstar kills my stomach.
Monster taste the best to me, but doesn't kill my stomach.
Of the three I drink I rank Monster, Red Bull, than Rockstar.

Red Bull is about the best tasting for me, and it does the trick when I need some concentration in my 3 hour accounting class.

good news fisher.
based on your advice, i have ordered carabao from grocerythai.com since I was too lazy to go out and find a thai store.
i'll probably never get my order, but i shall update the board on this discovery.
and in addition, i have ordered some **** from chaser.com (5 hour energy, paid $2.95 for shipping on the sample bottle).

If you're going to mix an energy drink with liqour, it's all about Jagerbombs.

Wow I had never even heard of that site! - let me know if the Carabao they sell in the can there is carbonated or not - I try to buy the uncarbonated one which comes in a small glass bottle.
Oh - I would stay away from the Durian Chips advertised on that site, btw, if you ever want to be able to exhale without asphyxiating anything in a 10 foot radius.

Yeah, I'm not sure anyone's ever heard of the site.
Which is exactly why I ordered from there :)
(that and the fact that like 2 thai energy drink sites exist on the internet).

Yeah, for now I'd just be happy to actually get my order from this site lol.

Anyway, we just finished our University-wide SportsFest (weekend-long competition against all the other dorms in a variety of sports and events) and there were Red Bull people giving out free ones.
Every time I passed by I took 2 or 3, but I ended up just taking a whole case when they were busy with other people, haha.
So basically I have about $70 worth of Red Bull (if you buy them as singles) or around $30-$40 (in bulk) in my refrigerator. Hey, it ain't stealing when they're giving it out for free.
And I don't even like Red Bull. :D

There's a new Monster that's really good; in the black and red can. (as opposed to green (normal) or blue (low-carb) or orange (the weird one with the fruit juice)) These taste decent. For some reason, all energy drinks would like to scratch a hole in the lining of my stomach, so I've just been drinking more coffee lately.

Have you tried the new Arizona Rocket Fuel?
Well, I dont know if its really new but I never seen it before and Citgo close to my work started selling them recently and have them on sale for 99 cents only and I like...

that's always been my problem too.
i'm hoping this chaser energy and carabao (moose piss)
will cure cancer.
if not i'll just mix them together until they work.

No. I refuse to take them, I'd rather load up my body with caffeine AND other stuff.

My favorite is the Starbucks DoubleShot, but it doesn't really have a huge effect on me. I just love the taste.

IMO Bawls is the best energy caffinated drink ive ever had. If you've never tasted you have to, its the best tasting by far! If it werent so expensive Id have a fridge full of it.

It's Lambert...
Operation Moose Piss has commenced.
I actually got the 6 pack of carabao today from that unknown website in California :). (grocerythai.com)
Haven't drank one yet, so Operation Moose Piss has yet to "officially" commence.
As to whether it's carbonated or not, or even works... I shall update in a few hours when I get off work.

confirmed: it is not carbonated.
Lambert out.

i would like to find a great tasting preferebly non carbonated(carbonated drinks dehydrate you) drink i can take before work out..
sort of similar to the philosophy of eating honey before physical activity since honey is instant energy(body breaks down very fast, energy ready for use)..
i sometimes eat a banana or peanutbutter and honey sandwich before work outs. i feel a slight boost in energy, such as i can work out longer and simply be able to sustain high energy throughout.
i tried Nos, it taste just like red bull. My friend told me of something called Lost. He said is less carbonated than others and full of sugar. I've never tried Monster, they have too many flavors. What else is there?

Three pages to an energy drink thread and nobody's mentioned Full Throttle yet? Are you people crazy or do they just not have that stuff in Houston?

To me, the best tasting one is the Sobe No Fear, but I don't usually drink it because its loaded with High Fructose Corn Syrup, so basically its a sugar rush.

I'm not an energy drink fan, but then I don't like sweet drinks. I certainly have not tried them all.
Unfortunately, I'm on anxiety medicine and am not allowed caffein. :(

I prefer the red.
