I've seen them in the stores and see people drinking them all the time. I tried a little taste of my friends one time but I didn't like the way it tasted. Yesturday i was at the store and saw this new Full Throttle coffee + energy french vanilla drink. I thought hmmm...I loved it! It tasted so good! Not to mention the fact it perked me up quite a bit. Have you ever drank one of any kind?

Yes, I have tried Red Bull before, when my husband started to buy them. Though only a sip as it was too powerful for me. Plus I don't like to drink a lot of caffeinated beverages anyway and avoid them when I can.

Caffeine can definately make you jittery..especially if you don't drink very much of it and then try it. Thanks for the response sacmom.

heyya jo..What I read was in it was B-12,ginseng,and caffeine. Quite the combination for a perk. I don't like the regular ones but that new coffee one is really good.

Hey! How are you doing? Yes, I LOVE energy drink. I perfer the ones that are sugar free. I believe my family's favorite is XS Energy drink. They are not avaliable in stores and can only be bought online. The reason I like them? They have SO many flavors---they have ones that are non-carbinated, ones that are caffeine free...etc. I believe my favorite flavors are Tea-Berry Blast & Rootbeer. Uh, they have ones at the Dollar Tree (I forget what they're name is. I believe they sell them at Walmar as well)..it's a big silver can, they're sugar free. They have a good flavor. However they are HUGE and they can make you very jittery because of all the caffeine. Have a nice day! Pablo

Hi Pablo! Thanks for the input! I know a lot of people that live by the energy drink. I know there are some that are completley herbal too. I really like the one I tried. I haven't thought about them being bought online. Thanks again for responding.

I drank various energy drinks but i've never encountered something like coffee+energy drink. It must be really a one of a kind "uppers" lol! It might give me palpitations i think but i'm willing to try. Reminds me of the local drink called "Boracay" lol! The usual energy drink tastes just like Mountain Dew so if you've tasted it then liked it, then you'll like energy drink too.

Hi JeninTN. I always drink a can of Red Bull 30 minutes before I hit the gym. It just gives me the adrenalin I needed to complete my exercises. I also tried monster, but it was so intense, I think I'm sticking with red bull. Happy New Year to all.

I haven't tried monster. Red bull is the one I had a sip off. The one I liked so much is Full Throttle. I'll have to slam one and head to gym myself. Thanks for the response brady2moss.

Yes. Read my name :D. I think only some kinds are good. others are just nasty, like Beaver Buzz Is so gross I just took a sip and threw it away. I drink them because it gives me a boost to stay awake so I can focus more on the task at hand.

LOL...name fits you well then. That coffee plus energy one by Full Throttle is my favorite. The only one I like really. It's French vanilla flavored. I don't like the way the others taste. We all need a boost sometimes.

I tried the vitamin water and its not bad. They have alot of different flavors and the cost is reasonable. So far thats the only one I have really tried. I like the green teas and the Arizona teas.

I tried a red bull once and didn't really care for it and it didn't really do nothing for me. Just like coffee it don't do nothing for me I just like the taste.
