I went to college with a guy who drank about 3 Redbulls a day and he was on edge constantly! Real fun to be with though.
I hate the flavor of energy drinks. Just give me a soda any day if I need the caffeine boost. Or water any other time. 
Sure, the reason I didn't is because I think almost none of you will know these supermarkets, because I don't think you have them in the US. I usually get my energy drink from Albert Heijn and sometimes from Aldi.decident zombie said:
It's about 4 times cheaper than Red Bull, I think (and I don't really think it tastes very different).
First of all, energy drinks don't do a damned thing for me energy-wise, but I actually manage to enjoy a few for the taste. Monster Khaos and most of the Monster Java series are pretty good, and I find myself enjoying Venom even though it tastes horrific.
I used to love Rockstar Juiced but none of my usual haunts carry it anymore.

we actually do have aldis in the us. Are you talking about the one in the dark blue can with red lettering? just curious.Jordi said:
this is my story. the story of how I drank energy drinks and lost. I lost horribly. ill make the intro quick. i frank energy drinks got an eight cm kidney stone. then....welll. buckle up.
I had to have invasive kidney surgery on a kidney stone that had started to grow into my ureter(thing between kidney and bladder). the surgery involved taking a laser strapped to a camera and sticking it inside my penis and weaving it through my insides to reach the kidney where they lasered(technical term) it into as small of pieces as possible making it feel like ground up glass. The surgery was supposed to take an hour and a half at the most. Mine took over three and a half hours. I wake up in my room and stumble into the bathroom. I try to pee and my knees buckle from the pain of passing finely ground stone through my very sore penis. My head smashes against the toilet and I pass out.
Three weeks later I have to go get the stint removed. this involves shooting a numbing agent into my penis then folding over the tip and clamping it shut with a clip. It was numb so it didnt actually hurt physically, just psychologically. They then had to go back inside with a camera to take the stint out. Like I said penis was numb, insides were not. I would describe the pain as feeling like your being stabbed from the inside out. I could literally feel the camera inching its way through my insides until it got to the stint where the doctor had to manually maneuver the camera to unhook the loops holding the stint in and then yank it back out.

It sucked but I survived. the thing about kidney stones that make them something you want to avoid getting is how they are formed. The more bad shit you take in the more sediment ends up in your kidneys then when you get dehydrated it causes the sediment starts to clump together. If your drinking something like an energy drink(which dehydrates you) then the sediment will continue to clump together in a mass that will eventually try to work itself out. the kicker is that energy drinks are full of the chemicals that tend to find there way down to your kidneys. those cans are just a Molotov of fuck you juice at the end of the day.Oscar90 said:
I rarely drink energy drinks, but that's because i want them to have maximum effect on my system.
So let's say i'm feeling starved for some action, i go out and buy a huge can of monster (cuz it has the biggest impact on me) and spend 3 hours killing mythological monsters in GoW.
