Best energy drink?

brianthebard

I felt this was the best place for this thread. Its coming into exam season and I want to find something that can keep me working into the night/early morning. Something that will keep me awake but also tastes good. The coke machine downstairs just doesn't cut it any more. So what high caffeine/guarana/crazy nrg drink do people like the taste of that also keeps them up at night? In the past Pepsi cappucino has served me well but I'm going to be holed up in my room for days at a time and want to buy a crate of something. Excessive I know but it has to be done. So what are your suggestions boardsies?

copacetic

do they still have 'jolt' in the various colleges? i used to find it worked for me back in the day, although it may have been placebo effect more than anything.

Whats a pepsi cappuchino? is it when you shake the can and all the fizz is like a froth? Do they sell 'V' here? thats nice stuff.

Red Bull is expensive but Tesco sell "Kick" at 89c a litre. Basically the same thing as Red Bull so good value

Thanks I'll have a look for a Dunnes own brand(closer to me).

Boreds, pepsi cappacino is a new flavour from pepsi, its been out a while. It has lotsa caffeine in it.

I was kinda obsessed with Lucozde when i was doing my exams (in March) Although i always had some coke with me in exam...

BPM, it's available in most shops now, it's nicer than Red Bull IMO, and there is a bit of a 'lift' of it.


It's worth noting that the 'pep' you get from any fizzy drinks will last for around 45minutes, after that you'll feel worse than you did.

If you want a coffee alternative give us a over in coffee & tea, there's loads of different coffees and flavoured coffee's discussed.

Also, consider fresh fruit, I don't have any stat's though I'm told it's very good for energy levels

Agreed. Its the best one I have tried in a long while.

Dont be at yourself

Boost. Like red bull, but one litre for 2.99, or 500ml for 2e.

rannerap

boost is pretty good and very cheap,or blue bear,alternatively just throw a load of skittles into bpm and leave it a few minutes.Double the sugar:)

does anyone have any idea how to make green tea sweet? I dont like using sugar but I had green tea before it had an apple taste but now its just regular tea

Honey perhaps?

Twinings to a wide variety of teas which are well worth trying. The Spiced Apple and Chamomile might have been what you had.

Boost does the job for me.
