Not a big fan of the fruity flavored type, I prefer mine on the coffee tip. WAKE UP AND GET ROASTED! ![[drink]](graemlins/drink.gif)

I drink zipfizz as it is a bit cheaper. (Costco)
It has 41667% RDA B12. Seems to help by the end of the day.

Vitamin tablets \'may do more harm than good\' In fact, Vitamins C and E - compounds known as anti-oxidants - may actually cause some illnesses. I was just trying to get away from Caffine for awhile. I haven't had any coffee for weeks (Will have tomorrow) and use the Zipfizz instead. I like the Vodka Redbull, but I'll only have maybe two in a sitting and I mix mine pretty much half and half. Moderation is key. ![[drink]](graemlins/drink.gif)

I had something called 'Yellow Swarm' once when I was staying in Vegas. That crap is legal speed. I'll never touch that crap again.

Read that five minutes after gunning the whole bottle . . . Feeling pretty good . . . so who wants to go and lift a house off its foundation a couple hundred times?

I have drank this one.  I am into cycling and I have drank one before doing a couple of training rides and I seemed to have a better ride. The cool thing about it is you do not crash hard like on red bull, monster, etc... My sister is in Medical school and the teacher has caught a couple of them drink these type drinks and has been telling them you should not be drinking them at all but if you must no more than one a week because of the high doses of what is in it. She told me the problems but I forget but i remember to much vitamin b is bad and can even give you nightmares. Needless to say now I only have one a week if that. Good old coffee for me.

Here's the newest one that's creating a load of controversy. Gee I wonder why.. [img] http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3250/2297415640_26d7ced674.jpg?v=0[/img] Anybody else heard about this one yet? Apparently if you buy the super duper deluxe kit, you get a fake credit card and all sorts of other stuff that mimics doing drugs. ![[ThumbsDown]](graemlins/thumbsdown.gif)

Bawls is a great name for it, as it tastes like balls.

It is legal again. Hard to find because you have to have a license from the DEA to sell it, but some of the gas stations around here have it.

I use to drink them all the time in college and when i was interning (engineering can be tough). I use to buy the cases of red bull in bulk from Costco i drank so much. then all the stomach problems started. i had to get a colonoscopy and endoscopy and my whole stomach lining was completely shot. My doctor said all the energy drinks and caffiene most likely caused the majority of the damage. they are ok to drink once in a while, but just don't drink too many of them like i did

Ya, I saw some at a local gas station but they wanted me to fill out a form. I was all set on giving out my name, address and phone number to buy ephedrine, seemed kind of weird.
