Monster is my favorite!:)

I like that Mountain Dew energy drink, think it's called Amp. It's the only stuff I can stomach.

Energy drinks are basically all the same. They are packed with carbs and caff. If you are eating on a regular basis (assuming yo have a healthy diet) an energy drink will have about the same effect as a soda. If all you want to do is stay awake I recommend coffee.

Chuck Norris has one...it's called Red Bull!!! hehehe

Definitely the best one...though Red Bull mixes better with other "choice beverages" than any of the other energy drinks!

I don't know if it is just me or if it would work for everyone, but I often work 100+ hour weeks and just drink Dr Pepper. I guess it is the sugar and caff.

Try a double shot of expresso. You can get it in a small starbucks can at the gas station. It works for me.

My oldest drinks them occasionally when he has a big test & needs to stay up late. I think his favorites are the Arizona ones.

My son drinks those as well. :)

i think that as long as there some kind of sugar and you are drinking it periodically thats what keeps who awake...just sittin there studying or doing whatever it is that you are doing will make u sleepy so you have to throw you brain a curve and get even a coke or somethin and you will be fine

ihop is a great place lol...studied there from 10 till 7 in the morning once..still didnt do so well on the test:mad: :confused:

[whtfbplaya]

Actually I always do better on the test if I just sleep instead of studing all night.

[BreckTxLonghorn]

Red Bull isn't bad. Most energy drinks don't taste great, but I've always believed the worse they taste, the more powerful they are!:D

When I stayed up all night driving to New Mexico, Red Bull was key. Tried Amp, and it wasn't bad. The thing that really worked for me, though, was called No Fear. Tasted like moose piss (not that I would know), but it was a kick in the butt and kept me up the rest of the night.

Hope that helps. Good luck with relay for life.

Ginseng works great but is a mild laxative.
If the herb doesn't keep you up, umm something else at least will.

haha. i dont guess that would work while walking around the track all night :D


has anyone tried sunflower seeds. that does the trick for me at work.

[ML05]

I like Vault and Diet Vault pretty well. They taste good and keep me jumpin' for a while. lol.

[GreenMonster]

As a professional drink peddler I would recommend Full Throttle Fury in the maroon can. It is the most palatable energy drink that I have found on the market. Not sure about it's effects on keeping you awake but it did nicely as far as giving me a little boost the other day when I was ready to shut 'er down but still had things to finish up. I give it a :thumbsup: !

[Bulldog_12]

I like AMP. That works pretty well.

I like AMP, too. Tastes much better than a lot of the other drinks. Mountain Dew just came out with another one that is not that bad also, but I can't remember the name.

I dont really like the mountain dew one. Its ok, but I didnt feel anymore "energized" than when I drink a regular dew.

[Cameron Crazy]
