i dont wanna sound "racist" (god i hope i dont) but if i didnt know that was Robert Downey Jr...i'd think that was a black guy lol.

Bumping an old thread...

...I went about a year without an energy drink and decided to give one a shot yesterday after seeing it advertised on the X Games last weekend. They spun it as an energy drink with electrolytes. Whatever it is. I'm hooked.

Picked up the Rockstar Recovery - Lemonade flavor. 20 calories in the can, a decent, but not overwhelming amount of caffeine at 160mg and is loaded with B vitamins. The only energy drink I've ever had that I could chug the entire can and completely enjoy it. Apparently they have a Grape and Orange flavored version as well. Good bye Diet Dew & Coke Zero... hello Rockstar!

Reign, I get about 12 24 packs a month of the stuff.

If you are ever near Florida, Ill give it all to you.

i gave up energy drinks after my buddy who could of been a doctor but is a paramedic, gave me a huge speech on his shit these drinks are lol

Hell with that, we need to figure out a deal to have you ship them to me! I can't find them online, in bulk for less than about $2 per can, unless I've got a business license. From all of the research I've done, sadly, the cheapest place I can get them is my local convenience store for 2 for $3.

Yea, I drink them with alcohol on the weekends some times but not to often as I am old and I feel as if I am going to die.

If we can figure something out, Ill be glad to cut myself out as the middle man and have them shoot directly to you if thats allowed.

This one for me:

I don't think I've tried the Abs Zero. Might give it a shot. I typically have one in the afternoon at work. Other than the "proprietary energy blend" that they don't tell you what is in it, it really doesn't look like anything is actually "bad" for you in these drinks, and has equal to or less than the same caffeine content (140 mg for Monster) as coffee (up to 400 mg for a 16 oz mug).

It is basically caffeine, B vitamins, some amino acids, and guarana/ginseg (in quantities that don't really do anything for the last two).

i was told if it has no calories its even worse for u cause they replace it with aspartame which is man made sugar lol.

This. I like to get rid of the sugar and shit (although it's still awful for you I would imagine)

Aspartame tastes so damn awful.

I've only had diet coke (or pepsi) for so long that I really can't drink the regular stuff. The sugar makes me crazy.

In a similar vein, I so rarely eat milk chocolate that I can't handle the sugar in that either.
