I work outside quite a bit and there is always one goon that drinks about three blue things a day, then just sits on a ride on lawmower all day and falls asleep at breaks or behind hedges while a near by 60 year old that does the same job gets by fine on a pork pie and a cup of tea.

and Mountain Dew and make a fucking point of it. Cunts.

cracking one open next to you.

of course it's disgusting and pointless you wankers, just have a coffee like a normal person. See also: vodka & red bull/jagerbombs. Fuck off.

with loads of Monster decals. They've even gone as far as getting a private plate that ends 'grr'.

Really don't get it.

Monster can do one though, tastes like fruit salad sweets and fuck off with that

a single drink with a small amount of red bull/whatever as the mixer can pep you up when it's 2am and you want to keep dancing. but those 500ml cans? JFC.

Those 10 minute (feels like) ads they're running before films in cinemas showing you all these expensive sports they're sponsoring. Their whole F1 team thing. Flying bamos to Canada for a jolly when he works for a magazine HIGNFY takes the piss out of in the final round...

Seriously, how did energy drinks become such big business when they're just a different tasting version of Coke? I suppose Coke was always big but it never seemed big in this way.

i just shake and feel out of place

i reckon soon they will start putting insulin into the drinks to save time

they clearly do make you feel less tired though, or at least more alert than you would otherwise be. drinking them habitually would be a bit weird, but they do the job when required.

holy fuck how do people drink them? it's all fun and games until the comedown which leaves me feeling weirdly depressed and full of runny shit. maybe i'm just too sensitive, idk.

I've probably had over 40 different types, foreign ones and shit. My favourite so far has been the Polish one endorsed by Mike Tyson. If anyone knows any obscure energy drinks please let me know.

I sometimes have red bull with vodka - very very rarely. But other than that I totally agree.

Relentless is the worst one.

As a result they won't sit still or concentrate between about 9.30 and 11.00, when they visibly start lagging. After lunch, they arrive back full of sweets, Iron Bru and more energy juice to perform the same vicious cycle again in the afternoon.

But students chain drinking Monster at 9am are cunts

i had to go to the post office to pick up a parcel i'd missed (new stylus) and this guy was drinking a can of monster. just there, queueing at 10:30 and drinking an energy drink. maybe he was about to go and do some radical mountain biking or something

In my work there's a couple of people that drink it ALL THE TIME, one of them also wears a Monster hoodie ALL THE TIME and another has a Monster sticker on his glasses case. What's that about, like.

i just get really restless and uncomfortable. i like the taste though

Absolute nutter

I'll have a can or two if I'm staying up particularly late with an essay. Will happily have it as a mixer too if that's what's going.

but i don't quite understand the virulent hatred towards people who do.

unless lucozade counts, I've had that

only people that ever order them are usually rude, angry kids.

I sometimes drink energy drinks. They can be quite nice. Plus a sugar fix can be good. Theres no "culture".

http://bit.ly/DppgJ not sure where to start with that one...

Sounds grim

me, i'm all about cannabis energy drink. there's nothing i like more than chugging a few doobies before a nice long gym sesh. nobody tell the cops!!

Didnt really eat much food either, I felt like I was definitely dying. Now i probably have one can every other day,which is much better if still quite unhealthy.

Worst one is that four for a pound shit in a silver & red can that Poundland sell, I cringe seeing all the kids on their way to school chugging that. Living in a slightly scuzzy area there are discarded cans of it everywhere too.

And i say that as someone who will put almost anything in their body. Also, people who drink these things- you smell of sick by the way.

which is fine.

waaawaaa I can't keep up with life waaawaaa coffee is to bitter for me waaawaaa

People think that being seen drinking this garbage will make other people think 'oh hey this person is SO tired that they must be pretty important, nobody could be that busy'.

NEWSFLASH JACKASSES: you are what you eat, and if you drink energy drinks you start taking on their qualities, like translucence, sweatiness, spottiness. Plus, stop playing angry birds and pull your work fucking trousers up, they're not jeans you fucking dre beats wearing motherfucker.

The world's going to hell in a handcart etc.

It's clearly for idiots along with all the other overpriced branded shite people fall for.

There I said it

She would drink a few each day at the office then come home, breath smelling rank and too crashed out for any hanky panky in the evening.

I felt like I was dealing with a full on drug addict sometimes, shit got really ugly at points. Must find out how she's doing actually.

I drink a fair few vitamin waters though. They're just full of sweeteners and artificial vitmain stuff but damn they taste good. They're flat which I think helps.

I know it'd be fun to be all contrary and say it was great, but this went beyond mere frivolity. Worst thing that's ever passed my lips.

When you need something to keep you awake or need a quick boost, it's excellent!

But all that's been said above about the culture behind it and the scene kids - 100% agree!

I'd actually say that I think Monster and Relentless and Rockstar all taste absolutely atrocious! Red Bull's the only one I've found to taste alright, and when I say alright, I mean bearable, not like "oh, I quite fancy a red bull"

We're well on the way toward 'PEOPLE WHO drink liquids'

This can't be a double tonne about energy drinks alone surely?

who's going to do the ITT: ?

What I sometimes do in that situation is nip out to the shop and buy a two litre (because I hate buying a rip off 500ml) bottle of pop, have a bit at work and take the rest home. And that's what I did. Diet Pepsi on this occasion. But I got a bit carried away and necked a litre of the stuff in an hour and a half. Felt really on edge due to the caffeine. On the odd occasion where I have an espresso in the morning on the way to work, I'm buzzing until lunchtime. A full fat coke is as much of an energy drink as I think I could handle. Haven't had redbull since last century, as a mixer, shared between a couple of vodkas. Mswza's nan has apparently taken to drinking energy drinks in the evening. The way redbull still run those line drawing gives you wings adverts is an odd thing. Has Lucozade had a mention yet, and did your mum treat it as a medicine of sorts? Thatisallkthanxbye.

I must be getting old or something, I used to come it with some rit bullshit on here at times. Still to be so smugly disdainful of people based on their diet choices etc is just so crazily childish!

i might buy some tomorrow. seems like the kind of thing that could change my life

- Energy drinks got me through my final year of university.
- I'll never drink them again. Now, instead of staying up to finish homework or an assignment, I go to bed and sleep. I found out that instead of forcing yourself to stay up, life will wait.

Take from that what you will, if anything.

People having a go at 'scene kids'?! Is it suddenly 2005 or something?

energy drink culture

total fucking bullshit, isn't it?

pretty much everyone i work with drinks the stuff constantly. doesn't make you less tired and fucking stinks.

especially fucking hate the absolute jobbies who drink the big cans of stuff like Monster, etc; people just think it's Special Brew, mate.

You're all cunts
