Red Bull

two goody's powders with your morning coffee will do the trick....and keep you regular....

Not to mention, burn a hole in your stomach! :wink: I just take 1 bc in water for migraines - it does work, but not easy to take.

I like Red bull because it really does give you a boost without making me jittery like plain caffiene + sugar. Yerba mate helps a little bit in the same way, I can even go to sleep not long after I drink some, but it just isn't enough. Which is too bad, since it is cheap.

About your handle, Bi-Polar Bear, are you truly bi-polar?

that is an interesting question.....

I dig RedBull, and am lucky to have access to it whenever I want...my roomate is a sales rep with a van full of it in the driveway. Surprisingly, I don't drink it as much as I thought I would be.

Anyway, I don't like any of the knock-offs either. Amp is pretty good I think. Only thing I can think of is soda with caffiene. There's nothing in Red Bull besides caffeine that's going to make much of a noticeable difference anyway. The whole image is marketing hype.

Oh, and remember friends: Red Bull may give you wings, but it's not going to give you Red Wings. No shortcuts for those, you gotta earn them.

... a very informative response...

Slappy,

Does your roommate think it is all marketing hype? Why is it that Red Bull doesn't make me jittery - is it just a better than normal caffeine to sugar ratio?

I only tried Red Bull once, more than fifteen years ago.

One cup of coffee got more caffein than two Red Bull - but no sugar and not tasting like "jellybabies".

I don't really know what he thinks. I do know when he drinks Red Bull and Vodka he thinks it "f*cks him up more." It has Taurine and vitamin B12...I don't think they'll make much, if any of a difference in what you feel, but I might be wrong. You might not be jittery because you're not getting as much caffeine from it as you think you are?

i spent 3 months in argentina from jan to april and i tried yerba mate for the first time, at first it tasted terrible but with a bit of sugar i got used to it and now im an avid fan of it..sadly we cant get it here in leeds so ill have to wait till i go back to arg this winter for another hit...

cheap alternatives to reb bull are pro-plus tablets and guarana tablets or drinks...

but really dude id try stopping the caffeine for a few weeks and see if this helps...
