About a month ago I managed to kick my caffeine dependency. Today, I had a Red Bull.
I'm disappointed by the near total lack of effect.
-
Yeah, nothing. Maybe I need one of the "American" sized cans. The 250 ml can didn't even raise my heart rate.
-
You're from Houston; have you tried meth?
-
My delivery system of choice was 16 oz cans of either Full Throttle or NOS. I stopped because a) I didn't like being dependent on it to function, b) the $700 minimum I spent on energy drinks annually could buy a lot of better stuff and c) it seemed like an easy way to cut my caloric intake. Sure enough, I lost 5 pounds when I cut them out of my daily routine.
-
I wonder if it was the caffeine or the sugar providing the lift.
Have you tried 5 hour energy?
When I'm especially desperate I take a scoop of muscle marinade, a pre-workout supplement. Pretty sure the caffeine in that is playing a supporting role to DMAA though.

Red Bull: because you always wondered what that urinal cake tastes like…
-
I either drink the Red Bull with a flavour (silver, red or blue), Burn (Coca-Cola's alt for RB; you guys have that in the States?), or a knock-off cheap can… I drink it down in a couple of secs, during work, so it's not like I drink it for the taste...
But yeah: the Belgian chavs drink those 50 cl cans of Monster and Red Bull as if it's a regular drink... Fucking morons...
-
Never seen burn. I've choked down RB many times but the whole strawberry urinal cake vibe and the fact that it's so synthetic are really off-putting for me.
One of my homies owns a company that makes an effervescent energy additive / vitamin supplement powder that you can add to any liquid. I go that route, just carry a few of these and dump em in water or vodka/soda if I need a boost.
