Poll: Do energy drinks affect you?

[SoulSalmon]

After drinking enough Coffee and Mother to sink a fleet of submarines... no, not really...
It never 'really' has, I thik I developed immunity as a young child considering my mother drank the strongest coffee imaginable while pregnant, and I took an immediate love to Iced Coffee

Monster Energy makes me horny.
...well, you asked...

Hey, it's better than the expected reaction.

 

[sansamour14]

i get no buzz anymore just the crash oddly enough and the occasional heart murmur YAY MONSTER!!!

 

[WolfThomas]

Yes very much so, as someone who is trying to ween himself off caffeine I find even a coffee or coke in the afternoon makes me irritable when trying to go to sleep. It was probably less in the past though.

 

[SimuLord]

Anything stronger than Mountain Dew and I'm pretty much bouncing off the walls.

And I don't know what the fuck's in Vault "energy soda", but I've taken to calling it Vault 87. Because it makes me feel like a goddamn Super Mutant.

Sometimes, Red Bull and other energy drinks have made me feel more asleep.

I FEEL ASLEEP!

For myself I said yes, though they do take forever to kick in, the drinks themselves are terrible for you, and I get more kick out of a medium coffee for 1/8th the price.

Energy drinks have less caffeine than coffee. I just get annoyed with people that act hyper, its like red cordial, its psychological. There is an effect but it isn't that dramatic. I can down 3 and go to sleep. So can most of the people I know.

 

[Soxafloppin]

I drink allot of tea, but mainly because I like it.

I've never really felt the energy boost after having an energy drink though, some taste nice. That is all.

I don't drink energy drinks/coffee very often, so I doubt I have high tolerance, and when I do, it still doesn't effect me. ==

It sucks when I have to get to be peppy and awake for something in the morning, gulp down some energy drink, and discover, to no surprise, that my eyelids are still drooping and OH GOD THE GOGGLES DO NOTHING.

I don't drink them, and thus it's pretty hard for them to affect me.

 

[Dr. Pepper Unlimited]

Caffeine doesn't really affect me much at all. I don't don't drink energy drinks though, just the occasional diet soda here and there.

 

[Not-here-anymore]

Yes. I shit in rivers after enough of them. And I guess I feel a little more awake. But mostly the poo thing.
Coffee and tea work, but only because I've convinced myself they work. I don't know how much the caffeine actually does.

For those interested, caffeine inhibits certain receptors in your brain, forcing you to produce more adrenaline.
Since I'm a jumpy as a baby rabbit on a trampoline with a spring attached to it, it's remarkably hard for me to produce any more adrenaline then I already do. A teensy bit of concentration and time seems to slow around me. It's pretty cool.

 

[Shade184]

They only affect me when I have like ten coffees in half an hour. (I dislike energy drinks.) I may as well be completely immune.

 

[MartianWarMachine]

Yes, energy drinks affect me. They make me sleepy.

 

[ThreeKneeNick]

The only effect is not being able to fall asleep. I still feel drowsy after drinking one, but cant sleep.

 

[Drummodino]

Yes they affect me, but as I only drink them before/during physical activity I don't get crazy energetic they just keep me alert and let me go for longer. Only other time I drank one was when I was really tired driving home and I still had over an hour to go. Kept me awake and alert till I got home.

 

[Zaik]

Most are carbonated water, some sugar, some caffeine, and enough paint thinner to make it taste like it might actually do something.

A few actually work, but even then what they offer is not nearly worth what they cost.

 

[Don't taze me bro]

The only effect is not being able to fall asleep. I still feel drowsy after drinking one, but cant sleep.

Pretty much this. I still yawn and feel sleepy, but getting to sleep is another matter.
