noob123 shot of johnny in the morning

i know you're joking and all, but the thought of a shot of scotch right after waking up grosses me out. i don't even think about alcohol that much anymore and i'm 25.

 

I'm a bigger fan of sugar-free red bull. Not sold on Monster.

Still, the winning ticket is synephrine. It's a toned down replacement for ephedra. No shakes, no heart palpatations. If you're ever well and truly screwed and still want to look attentive in a meeting... this is the ticket. Legal and available over the counter in any GNC, Vitamin Shoppe, etc.

 
TheKingMy heart pumps Red Bull (sugar free, of course).

Any other drink is just a worthless imposter which should be purged from this Earth.

You don't get annoyed with the small serving size and that pathetically narrow can???

 

I like the "I am a machine comment"... didn't know caffeine makes you that much more efficient/effective.

I can't stand the caffeine comedown after the morning energy drink, and then again with the afternoon drink, and then there's a 3rd after my lat evening drink.

I only do 3 cans a day though.

I am the machine, lol.

 

I made a major dick move today- consumed two cans of Full Throttle and a double shot espresso. Its currently 4:40am and I have my Real Analysis test in 3 hours. Just can't seem to get any sleep...

I win here, I win there...
 

RedBull is my default drink, 5 hour energy is my default shot.

Rockstar is okay but like most of the other energy drinks, it's an acquired taste...really.

Monster is okay but its like drinking fruit punch laced with crack.
