I had the first energy drink that I've had in a while. They're terrible. It got me hyped up for like 3 runs then I was tired. I also now feel like shit and have a headache. I'll never drink one again Just saying, what do you all think about them? btw it was a nos if you all know what that is....

It tastes awesome in my opinion. Just the crash sucks. A lot of people don't like nos though. And I just remembered I finished my friends B.F.C. Monster which coulda done it as well.

I think the blue mosters are by far the best energy drink out there IMO.  They taste so great and I don't get down after them(I don't get hyper really, I just get a bit more awake and more aware, especially if I drink it on an empty stomach).

I can't have much caffeine anymore.  It does something that makes my knees hurt like crazy(something involving my osgood, runners knee, and thrid(and worst) thing that couldn't be diagnosed).  It really sucks cause every day I had coffee in the morning I'd rarely get a headache, and now that I can't drink it I'm back to getting them all the time.

sorry for double post, but I got grape NOS once thinking it would be good because regular NOS actually does not taste like normal shitty energy drinks (ie: Redbull & Monster).  The grape tasted absolutely horrible.  Even worse than Monster and Redbull.  I hate the normal flavors besides NOS, they just taste like shit.

I never even get energized from them, thus not having a crash. I'll drink them here and there, but I won't really go out of my way for one.

I get super sleepy when I'm drinking so I really only really drink energy drinks with alcohol to try and balance things out.
My favourite is the fruit punch flavoured rockstar.
As for staying awake/studying I have a very low tolerance for caffeine, so normally a caffeinated pop works and is much cheaper. I couldn't get to sleep until 4am the other night after one Dr. Pepper at 9ish. Even chocolate needs to be avoided a couple hours before I head to bed.
Even drinking energy drinks normally I've never noticed a comedown though.

I already consume a lot of caffeine throughout the day, so I usually never fell the effects of energy drinks.  I'd rather just eat a banana and save $4.

I feel ya energy drink companies are just stackin cash off of kids who wanna be just like everyone else. It's not so bad anymore but i think its more of the middle school kids who are falling into the trend most of them don't even like them.

That's not what the actual can looked like, but they had this stuff at U of U. So damn good. I would always get it before my boring ass lectures. I think they stopped supplying it though because the lady at the register said I was the only one who bought it...

energy drinks make me feel like total shit, while an occasional cup of coffee leaves me fine. i always feel like im gonna fall over after about 30 mins of drinking one cuz i crash so hard. they taste good, but i dont like the effects.

on the other hand, as someone posted above, there are relaxing drinks. never tried one but i am interested.

I love Monster MIXXD when I'm stoned. But it leaves you with that banging headache afterwards, kinda shitty.

And to the person who said Red Bull is delish, I disagree completely, in fact I think RB is probably the most disgusting tasting of all energy drinks (minus cheap supermarket-brand ones).

we have a few different flavors of nos in the architecture studio vending machine because of all the late nights we have. pretty good if you have some food with it and try to make it last a while instead of chugging half the bottle. work well, dont feel sick, and i dont seem to crash from them really quickly.
