5 hour energy? monster? red bull?

[Jwalker]

Eh I think I'll buy some caffeine pills I'm going up to alaska to work in a fishing cannery working 16 hour days. Monster is probably like 5 bucks in the company store. I'm sure caffeine is bad for you and I'm addicted, it's kind of funny that jagmans is talking about how we're all addicts to caffeine on a snus forum.

I don't like these energy drinks as the crash for me is bad... i prefer just a glucose drink these days... i'll have one coffee when i wake up though... Good luck Eric.

Caffeine is a tough one to get off of once you get started heavy on it.....

I finally got down to one cup or so of coffee in the morning. I drink lots of water throughout the day and exercise regularly. I feel better and am more alert than caffeine ever made me feel.....even on 4 hours sleep.

Also, it will take a not for your body to get used to the new schedule.....only time can help that.

Of course....if you must....go for the sugar free ones so you don't get a sugar and caffeine crash at the same time.......just a caffeine crash.

Nah! What I think is funny is how your all talking about becoming addicted to yet another very highly addictive product besides snus which is a tobacco product on a snus forum... I mean what are you using snus for? Are you using snus because you quit smokes or are you using snus because you quit dip.... So what are you going to use to quit Masive quantities of caffine? Coffee is one thing, But using Energy drinks, Monster, and red bull that have massive amounts of sugar/ caffine is no better than using speed...

I mean, Hell! These drinks are nothing more than a leagalized lower dose of Methamphetamines.... But by all means... Have at it.... Just don't complain when you all can't get to sleep after drinking a 12 pack of this shit.... Or beter yet... Don't complain when you can and it takes more and more to stay awake to study/work and stay active yet you can fall asleep and it takes more and more to stay awake.... My brother in law can drink a 12 pack in less than 2 hours yet sleep like a baby 2 1/2 hours later, But when he is awake can never sit still( Now that is some sick shit)... Be forwarned as this stuff is also a slippery slope... Just sayin...

Yeah! We all started out smokin 2-3 ciggs a day thinking we can quit anytime, But then went up and up and then before you know it smokin 2-3 packs a day and can't quit.... That stuff ain't no different in my opinion....

The 5 hour energy actually is different. It's b vitamins and aminos. Zero sugar no wacky herbs and about as much caffeine as a cuppa. It's expensive tho. I no longer use caffeine but the occasional coke. But if I needed a pick me up it would be the 5 hour energy..... I believe it come in decaf as well......

Thanks for the advice guys I appreciate it

[Connavar]

i am a big fan of the Monster rehab, tea/lemonade, actually tastes pretty damn good zero sugar and electrolytes and such. those and 5 hour energy are normally my poisons of choice.

[Mawdryn]

Not sure what it's called, but I've used those b-vitamin drops that you put under your tongue, and man that stuff will get you lifted! Cheap, too...

This coming from someone who HATES all those energy drinks, BTW...

I drink a Java Monster Mean Bean every morning.

I love 5-hour Energy, but it's basically B-vitamins and caffeine, so I find it's a lot cheaper to go with caffeine pills and B-vitamin pills. I think a cup of coffee is about 100 mg of caffeine, and the pills I have are 200 mg, so I'll usually take a whole 200 mg pill to get me up in the morning, and then if I need a boost while I'm at home I'll either break one of the pills in half, or just make some coffee. I usually have around 4 cups of coffee over the course of the work day too.

Mmm, B-vites, caffeine, and snus.

I personally don't like Monster. I like Sobe's Pure Rush, Urge Intense, Rockstar Cola and Mad-Crock Cola. But now I might be mentioning European brands you don't get in the states.

With all the sugar in those drinks I tend to avoid them. I will recommend 5 hour energy though. I have had positive experiences from them, although pricey they are worth it if that is what you need. I still prefer my morning cup of coffee though.

Coffee in the a.m. and Diet Big Red at lunch. Diet Big Red is the best! I think all the food coloring and.additives gets me jacked up!

Starting tommorow I'm working an earlier shift and 10 hours again.. but three days off! Woohoo! I've been having troubles getting to sleep I'm guessing it's stress related. I've never got on the wagon deal for the energy shots, energy drinks etc.. and I wonder whats the best in your opinion.. I love coffee but I can't go for it in the heat we've been having tripple digits. I envy folks that can only get 4 hours sleep and be a chipper songbird in the morning. I understand I can work on my sleeping habits etc but I've tried. When I'm a little stressed nothing works.

As far as sleep goes, I take Alteril when I need to sleep. It's OTC, and it's all natural. What I like about it is that it's the only sleep aid that I can take one pill of and I'll fall asleep about 30 minutes later, and I'll sleep what I need, and wake up in the morning and have energy. It's awesome.

When I need a little extra, I pick up a nice little Red Bull and I'm good to go.

I used to use Elixyr Power Energy but the snusgods stole it from me!

I took two extreme 5 hour energy today.. spaced out by 5 hours granted.. worked pretty good but was still tired believe it or not.. couple more hours to go
