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.
