    Before 1900 there was no using of any caffeine in America.
    I have been free of all caffeine for over a year now.
    I sleep better and have no ups and downs during the day.
    Also helps my teeth to stay healthy without the sweeteners.
    You ever go into a convenience store and notice the amount of choices
    of caffeine products? Maybe hundreds? Caffeine water. Caffeine candy.
    To each their own.
    Love yours. D

    Ack, no! Lol
    I should have been more specific.

    Bro, if your energy drink makes cartoon fantasies feel that real, you might wanna reevaluate the ingredients

    I was hooked on Monster for a bit until I crashed hard. These days I go for yerba mate or matcha-based stuff. Found some great ones here. Still gives you that buzz, just without the impending existential dread

    I believe the vit B hit with these drinks is off the hook, correct me if I'm wrong.

    No thanks.

    Wow, I missed this thread....like I'm missing @msg, where're you at Scotty???

    Back in the day when I was racing (oh no, not another boring race story), the guys were downing RockStars and Monsters. I was sponsored by a now defunct company called Vital Pharmaceuticals, AKA VPX. They had an energy drink called Redline.

    I'd promote the drink at the track to my fellow racers by saying, If you had "this", you'd pour yours down the toilet. They'd be like, yeah right.

    I'd give em one and warn, dude, I'm telling you right now, SIP IT SLOW!!! They's usually come back an hour later or so shaking...hey man, you got anymore of the crack in a can???

    I'd sip one in the morning, then by second call for my race (you get three calls then they close the grid), I'd chug one down. By the time I rolled up to pre-grid, I could feel the hair growing on the back of my neck. It was a great tool!

    Note the VPX decals on either side of the number plate....
