How much energy drink per week

[Staunch]

Am i just making shit up ... again, or have i heard a story about a healthy 20 year old bloke, was dared to drink like 10 cans of Red Bull and almost died from the 'Bull farkin' up his heart? I know i've heard that somewhere ...

As i said on the first page of this thread, i generally have 1 a week, though not as a direct 'energy hit' before a ride or something like that, i use them as a recovery drink once i've finished a long swim or bike. They're very good as recovery drinks ... surprisingly.

Yeah, that's the only time I have the stuff.
I barely ever have any but when I have a can for some reason and after a huge ride/footy match/whatever and a mate rings me and wants to go for a ride but I'm already stuffed that when I'll normally have it.
Give me the energy to finish the day but then feel shit afterwards

What are you on about mate, its bassically a over priced can of soft drink with a few extra things in the mix eg taurine, ginseng, caffine, vitamins. Whats stupid is the people who rep stickers, jerseys all that shit of a company becuase they sponsor a rider or event they like, not the actual product.

This is a good point. I was just stating there's an amazing amount of kids that go around drinking their rockstar's thinking it makes them somehow cooler; well this is how it seems to me.

Some of you people must be hyper-sensitive to caffeine. How can the caffeine in one can boost your energy that much to sustain a days riding when already feeling tired?

I'll slam a coffee not long before bed and sleep no worries.

If I drink energy drink of any kind before bed I'm generally up until the AM's, of course this can be used to my advantage for DH and F1

I drink nine mothhers and ten red bulls a week

I used to drink 3 mothers a week, but one of my mothers uncles was an addict and turned sterile from it. There goes all want of energy drinks

Rockstar is the shit..... especially with all their new flavours mmmmm guava.
couple a week - mainly when I go riding but sometimes when I'm just energyless , no other sweet drinks but... just water and rockstar

I reckon.. caffeine in energy drinks doesn't touch me. At all. Okay maybe a little but it's most likely just placebo. I drink Red Eye for the taste, love the stuff.

I'm constantly connected to a drip that is supplied with Red Bull.
Im so Hardout.

Oh I'm so funny

For me when I do have one, which is rarely, it doesn't affect me whatsoever.

I know a girl who would buy 5 cans of redbull/mother and a bottle of vodka.........That is a seriously nasty mix

Is this girls name Amy Winehouse

I like Black V. Might have 1 a week average? Will down 3-4 if I'm pulling an all night assignment. Can't handle redbull anymore thanks to vodkaredbulls and jagerbombs. Did a night on no-dose once, went to bed at 8am and woke up in the afternoon with a hangover equal to a night of absynth.

 

[s_govers01]

i had 3 V's in about an hour then a mother a few hrs after that cause i had an overnighter workin at maccas.. and that was alright. i i rather mother than V, but again moderation, like anything is the key.

Are you still OS. Because man Dr.Pepper was good but no one sells it anymore.

Nah, been back in canberra for ages, we have two supermarkets in the city that sell it (Along with A&W drinks, american coke, coke cherry etc.). IGA's near uni's tend to stock it.

 

[DJninja]

What's the price like? Every where I've seen it's been ridiculously over priced.

Don't drink energy drinks at all and try not to have to much soft drink. Don't need a drink to wake me up or keep me going.

 

[INRI]

2 dollars the can at IGA here.

Wait....read your first sentence then read your second sentence. 4 energy drinks in a few hours is far from moderation me thinks

Have any of you guys ever tried a monster, they are the best energy drink you could ever buy they absolutley shit on everything! its such a shame that you can't buy them in australia though

 

[Ziggy]

^ Im pretty sure you can. My local foodworks sells them. They come in green and red with what looks to be flame decals or something on the can? I've never bothered buying one.

 

[Kuragari]

Regular sleep works just well..



I've had one can of V...ever.

I think it was 10 or so years ago when they first popped up on the shelf. I just wanted to have a drink to taste it, I didn't know it was an energy drink until later, heh.

I hate the idea of having a dependancy on a substance to give me a boost or get me going.

 

[jarrad7]

Maybe one every two months or so, if that. I do have an addiction to Dr.Pepper though, so it's not all good news here

where do you get dr pepper?
i havent been able to find it for years! love that stuff.. (nevermind I read a few posts up, hmm raodtrip to canberra? i think so)
oh yeah, energy drink. Around 3-4 per week, Rockstar before surfing, cuts straight through ya for instant warm wees! Red Bull for enjoyment/refreshment. Or V/Mother if i can get it free (yuk)
