Energy drinks

[Funter]

Anyone drink them? I was at The International Sportsmans Expo this past weekend and they were handing out Full Throttle. I got two drank one and went back to rolling posters for G&F. About an hour later I got thirsty again and drank the other one. They said that it has twice the caffine as Mountain Dew and there is two 8 oz servings per can so it would appear that I drank 8 cans of Dew in an hour. I would have thought I would have been bouncing off the walls but I wasn't. I do drink quite a bit of caffinated soda but nothing to that level of caffine so I feel ripped off that I didn't get wired from it. Whats everyone elses take on the "energy drinks"?

I have tried a few and most are okay. I drank a Wired 3000X that was bitter as all get out. No Fear makes a decent one and I have tried a few others as well but all in all, I don't drink a whole lot of them. If I remember right, there is a chitload of Taurine (or something like that) in them. Read the warning labels. You can't consume more than a certain amount in a day because of what the dang things have in them.

What does taurine do to you?

I still don't drink coffee and read somewhere that a lot of these energy drinks are loaded with sugar?

Hi guys. My girlfriends old co. A&W botteling in Wa makes the Wired, X 3000 and about 3 more with 2 or 3 coming out soon. It is a huge market and only growing. The Taurine is a type of caffien. In large doses it can be harmful, but you would have to drink a lot. I dont like the taste of Taurine, but one thing for sure you have to drink them cold.

I have only tried Reb Bull. Hated it and won't try another. Give me a cup of coffee, or two or three and I ma fine. I carry a thermos of coffee every day I go hunting and most days when I go for a ride in the hills on the horse. Love my coffee.

Low carb "monster" with a gram of coke, a twist of meth, and a triple expresso, follow it up with a handfull of crosses, and some yellow jacket shooters. you will be up for 6 weeks and mow your lawn at midnight......Ok i am just a wise guy.

 

[wilecoyote76]

cjcj, it's funny you mentioned mowing the yard at midnight. My little brother knew a kid who drank a "Rock Star" energy drink for breakfast and lunch while taking yellow jacket pep pills and lost like 75 pounds....oh, and his yard never looked better! I guess that's what you get when you have all sorts of energy that needs to get used up.

I live in Key West. The younger crowd like the Red Bull---Red Bull and beer, Red Bull and Jagermeister (Jager Bomb). I personally haven't found an energy drink I care for.
Coffee for me...

Red bull and crown is the best. Great tasting shot and @#$%'s you up real fast.

Taurine - Taurine is a non-essential sulfur-containing amino acid that functions with glycine and gamma-aminobutyric acid as a neuroinhibitory transmitter. While taurine does not have a genetic codon and is not incorporated into proteins and enzymes, it does play an important role in bile acid metabolism. Taurine is incorporated into one of the most abundant bile acids, chenodeoxychloic acid where it serves to emulsify dietary lipids in the intestine, promoting digestion.

That's what I thought she was asking too. She was actually asking how to get a quote into her sig. I PMed her the instructions.

My friend gave me some caffine free / sugar free X/S Energy drinks last summer. I got a good pick-me-up off them, but never got "buzzed" from them, but they tasted good. He gets them from their online business.
