Sweet Pete Posted April 22, 2021 Author Share Posted April 22, 2021 So energy drinks are "just sugar and chemicals"? Huge if true. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Remember, every can you buy, folks, puts more money towards RB Leipzig. Makes you wonder why Red Bull haven't taken over a club in England. There's plenty of ones that have nearly gone bust and a wee bit of capital might get them up into the Championship. You might argue about tradition, name changes etc but it would be hypocritical to have a franchise like MK Dons in your league and not, say, RB Leyton Orient. Of course this idea can get in the sea as far as I am concerned but it may happen one day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at a desk next to a coffee percolator all day now so tend to cram them in early. Off work today so have had maybe 10 espressos but have had vigorous exertion to burn it off. You don't suppose the fact that you're wired to the moon with caffeine might account for your appalling safety record do you... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it seems like they enjoy seeking out good young players and developing them, rather than the Chelsea/Man City model of just spunking billions on whatever you need. They seem to take the right approach to almost every sport they enter, they sponsor a hell of a lot of athlete's across a huge variety of sports and give exposure to non-mainstream sports. I'd far rather Red Bull took over my club than someone like Abramovich. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlipperyP Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 I used to drink 2 cans a day while at work in Scotland, either Red Bull (loved the taste) or Monster. The came to Thailand and had my first "real" red bull Thought I was having a heart attack and had to lie down for a bit. Probably only had about 10 energy drinks since that day. Mostly Strong, but not the syrup medicine tasting like the Red Bull. Coffee, 2 or 3 cups a day is the go to now, and a cup off tea at night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably would've made a bit of sense around 2012. Going cheap. I'd take RB Dumbarton tbh. The Red Bull Stadium isn't any worse than the BetButler C & G Strathclyde Homes Stadium. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thereisalight.. Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 The laughable part is Red Bull is nowhere near the best energy drink around. I used to drink maybe one can of energy drink a day. Now its nearer 3 or 4 a week. I moved on to iced lattes/coffee instead. I never got a buzz or an increase of energy from any of the brands out there 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweeperDee Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Coffee does f**k all for me now after I kicked the arse out of it at Uni, so outside of illicit substances I’ll just have a red bull if I’m needing a kick. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross. Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Disappointed at the lack of Chev Chelios references in this thread. Never been a fan of energy drinks. Tried a few and thought they all tasted disgusting. Not a coffee drinker either, which gets me treated with suspicion where I am. Usually drink 3 or 4 cups of tea a day, not sure how much caffeine that means. I mind buying one of the wee caffeine shots at the football a few years ago when absolutely steaming. Fair cleared my head and added a few hours to the post match session. Can’t say I enjoyed the hangover it helped bring on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mug of tea will have about 75mg of caffeine, that will probably vary quite a bit between different teas. A coffee has about double that (again, depending on the coffee). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 I had a big can of red bull at 8 this morning as I felt pretty lazy when I got up and had a lot to do at work - can definitely say it helped my day out and I am still feeling a kick of it 10 hours later. You need to eat a good bit of decent food before having one to avoid feeling shit, having a big bowl of porridge in morning and then a banana right before I gulp it down works best for me but if you’ve only had a slice of toast for breakfast and then have one then you will crash and burn rather quickly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 I honestly find this thread quite worrying. Energy Drinks are absolutely vile concoctions. Terrible for you. Why are people drinking this many? It genuinely sounds like an epidemic in this country.My guess would be because people enjoy the taste of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Then why not just drink regular fizzy juice? Must be the same people that take coke cause they like the smell, eh? There's obviously more to it than simply taste.As I've said already, I enjoy the taste of Coca Cola energy. I'd probably drink a ridiculous amount of the stuff if it wasn't an energy drink. Coca Cola is a nice enough drink but more than one and I can just feel the sugar on my teeth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
