Monster Energy Drinks are the best you can do

Original green and KHAOS seem to do the trick for me and taste the best
No Carbs - Blue Monster
Rehydrate - Tea Monsters
Extreme Caffeine - ASSAULT

Ripper gives me heartburn :mad:

If you really want a buzz, drink V. That stuff is strong.

i share this as a caffeine addict who only does cold drinks *eye twitch* :wtf:

Their cans are too big... 250ml is where its at.

Energy drinks don't seem to do anything for me. If I'm tired, I'm tired and I'm going to remain feeling ****ed the entire time.

Same with me, doesn't help me at all if I am already tired, but it is useful to stay awake/alert longer if I drink it while still sharp...

Never had energy drinks before except in the old days of vodka & red bull :p
Never on its own though

I am curious which energy drink you guys think is best for staying awake late nights and getting up with almost no sleep

best i ever tried is pirate energy drink-it has the highest caffeine and energy than all the energy drinks u get in sa-but energy nice and cosistant with no crash.anybody tried it?
It is better to go sleep but there are times when you have to pull an all nighter with deadlines coming up. Turbovite (the purple one) works for me, but unfortunately I usually end up feeling like a zombie the next day.

Some discipline and time management might also help, so you don't have to stay up late.

Server/Network maintenance takes place after-hours. Sometimes until the early hours of the next morning. No time management is going to solve that :p

Best energy drink is liquid epinephrine. IV is a better route tho.

Had a Dragon (for the first time I think) this morning. Tasted ok and was much cheaper than my "usual" which is the green Monster. Taste is important to me hence the green Monster being my favourite.

The original/plain Play is also a good choice. Red Bull tastes good but is usually ridiculously overpriced. The pink & black RockStar also tastes good.

Yes, would be nice to have smaller cans but sometimes the 500ml is necessary. There's an energy drink in a white can with red writing and a resealable cap (why don't more do this!) whose name I can't remember now that's also good but also rather pricey.
