I used to drink them in industrial quantities. That's why I'm now a diabetic.

i don't drink any artificial drinks - only water, a little bit of milk, and a tiny bit of juice. i spend my calories on white bread and butter :)

Guilty  ):  but only the sugar free ones.. I find it to be a lot cheaper to take a 100mg caffine tab,,lots cheaper! For that added boost at the end of a tiering day.

Currently trying to ween myself from the stuff, just one of many wagons I'm clambering on board of lately (;

I don't go for relying on energy drinks

but a slushy (partially frozen) red bull really hits the spot for me

makes all that studying much easier =D

I just drink Coffee usually.  The "Energy Drinks" that are out now make me Evil.  I wonder if any one else has experienced this phenomenon?

I don't really care for "Energy Drinks" like Redbull, it tastes strange and doesn't do anything for me. But I do drink 2-3 cans of Coke per day as well as 2-3 bottles of Starbucks frappuccino or doubleshots.

and by the way, if sodas were so bad for you, I would be dead... but I think I'm still here :) (i'd estimate that i've consumed about 10,000 of them in the last decade.)

Yes. My favorite energy drink is called coffee. If you're talking about those little cans of what tastes like cough syrup which are so popular with the kids nowadays, I'll pass. I drank a Redbull--for the first and only time--on a long road trip recently. The thought that leapt immediately to mind upon tasting it was, "Jesus! I guess there really is something to marketing."
