    i personally drink monster, M-80 is my fav followed by assault.

    i tried sobe adrenaline once, and i have to say the it sucks.

    when monster isn't available ill get red bull or rockstar.

    I don't drink energy drinks that much, infact, I only drink it once in a blue moon.

    I only drink Monster.

    My heart got beat up too badly in college (Redbull and both of Sobe's energy drinks). I get chest pains now if I drink any (and I'm wired for 72 hours).

    I'm strictly a Dr. Pepper guy when in need of caffeine... and only 1 can Sad

    Worst was probably a can a day for a month but average was 2-4 cans a week (I think). Really depended on whether I had work or a test the next day. Wasn't (and still not) a morning person, even with having afternoon/night classes most semesters.

    If I could do it differently? I wouldn't drink them unless it was finals week. And of course a soft drink if I had to wake up early in the morning and needed a pick me up.

    But I think it depends on the person. I grew sensitive to it while others (my roomate back then in particular) grew immune to it. And then there are those that get use to the rush and have to have it because their bodies don't produce that pick-me-up chemical anymore (being reliant on their new addiction).

    And lets not forget those cans are expensive.

    Re: Red Bull or other ?

    I drink 1 or 2 Redbull's a week and at least 1 pop a day, I've become addicted to the caffeine but it hardly effects me anymore unless i don't have it for a few days then i start to feel really low on energy.

    I think your right that energy drinks have different effects on people. I want to stop drinking them because I know it's effecting my health but I don't have the will to stop at the moment. I guess it's better than crack or something tho.. haha

    Re: Red Bull or other ?

    Haha. Yeah, you are in the option 3 category. You have to have it or you crash.

    Crashing only lasts a week. You can do it Yes

    Best thing to do (for me) is to pull an all nighter and go to bed around 7pm. That usually gets be back into the swing of things.
