    anybody addicted to them besides me?

    I've been drinking 2-3 day for a good 6month period. I alternate b/w Red bull and Nerd. I'm pretty sure I'm slowly killing myself.

    When I used to work a 3 days on 4 days off, 13 hour day shift at my old job, I had to buy Lo-Carb Monsters by the case.

    Now I can't even drink them again, I got so sick of them.

    Any particular reason you're drinking them? I hate getting habituated to energy drinks. They're expensive and I feel like crap all of the time when I'm drinking them.

    That sounds unbelievably unhealthy, you should seriously try stopping that, you probably will die early.

    Red Bull always hits the spot. Its the only energy drink that doesn't make me crash, or make me jittery. Venom tastes good, almost like Red Bull but it made me even more jittery than Monster and I crashed within about 10 minutes after only drinking half.

    Somehoe energy drinks don't really work for me. Redbull or Full Throttle seem to have no real effect. However, my friend drinks Endorush and raves about its effects. It's expensive though plus 4 servings a bottle so don't drink all at once.

    I haven't touched one since I left my EMS job. I'll be back on them once I get hired here in Nac since I moved.

    Monster Low Carb BLUE is the only one I like.

    they're basically worthless though, and the amount you are drinking is ridiculously unhealthy

    I like Red Bull and I drink one or two on the nights when I'm working. I get them for free though so the cost is no big deal. I never buy any at the store.

    my friend in school has a job with red bull where all he does is just picks up however many cases of red bull that he wants and just has to pass them out to people on campus or anywhere he wants. So I get red bull for free and drink them almost anytime I see him on campus.

    does he drive one of those redbull minicoopers?

    I've seen those on I-45 before.

    Oh and in Mexico, theres Red Bull girls..

    basically they pay hot chicks to handout Red Bulls at tourist destinations.

    I pick up one of those huge cans of lo-carb monster almost every work day and I just kinda sip on it throughout the day. I can't imagine what it'd be like to guzzle one down...yuck.

    when do you take them? why dont you figure out why do need this in the first place?

    lack of sleep/rest? proper diet? lack of exercise?

    I came across Jolt Gum with caffeine, the same Jolt that makes the cola. Three pieces of gum equal to 1 cup of coffee.
