Ludo*1 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Vodka & red bull (or whatever shite substitute) was my go to drink in my student days. Don't mind the occasional drink of a can now, but wouldn't drink it on the regular. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrif John Bunnell Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I used to be partial to some of the dirt cheap mystery cans from the Polish aisle in Tesco, but I've long since gone off all energy drinks. Even the smell of Red Bull turns my stomach. I'll just stick to healthy soft drinks like Coca Cola and Irn Bru from now on. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Holiday Song Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Not saying this will be the same for everyone... but switching from caffeine drinks (coffee, coke, red bull etc.) to water did more for improving my mental health than years of SSRIs, exercising, cutting down on alcohol, and counselling. Which is a shame as I really like those drinks! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I used to drink 2 cans of red bull a day for years in my 20’s when I was at work - one before starting work at 8 and one on my 1030 tea break. It would turn me into a hysterical babbling lunatic, I would charge around the place like a headless chicken talking utter shite until the effects would ease off by lunch break at 1300 and I would return to being fairly normal again. Don’t bother doing it now, probably have 5 cans of it a year but this thread has brought back some fond memories. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coprolite Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Only ever tried red bull. Tastes like haliborange with a hint of benylin. Foul. Strong coffee on the other hand tastes like it was invented by god for the angels. Trying to cut down again, to no more than two a day (probably triple shot measures). Sometimes though, exceptional circumstances demand more. A long drive would be unsafe and an impending deadline could be missed without it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Love Red Bull. The buzz is helpful but like the taste too. Pitchers of TVR (tequila, vodka, red bull) was my favourite drink. Drink loads of espresso and black coffee too, though only late in the day if I have to work late. Would have Red Bull before sparring too. Good mix of jangling nerves and energy boost. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Only recently started drinking coffee. Hated the stuff then got addicted to espressos. Slowly moved on to Americanos or just black coffee without sugar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melanius Mullarkey Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I can honestly say I don’t think I’ve ever drank an energy drink. I did have a sip of Red Bull once and quite enjoyed the taste. In fact, this thread has inspired me to experiment tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Enjoy sugar free Red Bull and Irn Bru ones but favourite is Coca Cola Energy. Love the stuff. It tastes like the bottom of a melted cola tiptop. I usually have one before work and on rare occasions have two. I have a low caffeine tolerance so if I have an energy drink I normally don't have a coffee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qos91 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I used to work with a guy about 4 or 5 years ago who drank at least 6 red bull a day. Think he was in his early 40s and he had the worst set of teeth Id ever seen. He told me a doctor had told him to stop drinking it or he would die very young. Met him in the street last march with a can of red bull in his hand... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 What's the point in sugar free Red Bull? You're drinking something purely for its stimulation benefits, are you trying to kid yourself that it's somehow healthy? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 (edited) I don't touch them as a rule. Maybe the occasional Lucozade. Call me snobby but watching neds down cans of energy drinks puts me off them. I think there's something wrong with your diet/lifestyle if you have to continually drink the stuff. Red Bull's active ingredient is Taurine. Or (tinfoil hat on) is it TA Urine.....

Well the severity of it all was entirely down to the red bull though, it was like the spud interview from Trainspotting every morning for my coworkers. Some people claimed they never got a proper boos from drinking it and just enjoyed the taste which I always found interesting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
