Favorite Energy Drink!

All right. I'm not sure how many of you other Ford guys/gals have bought into the energy drink craze...but I sure as heck have. I don't even drink them for the energy anymore. I just love the taste. One of those acquired things I guess. So what is your drink of choice?

I haven't boughten into it (as its far too expensive) Coffee will sufice, drink a couple cups every morning. I've shyed away from flavored coffee's and now drink it straight black and strong in order to save $$$.

Back to the point. I enjoy most all sobe products, along with their regular drinks, their NOFear and AdrenalineRush energy drinks. Amp is too weak, as are redbull and whoopass.

I tried Full throttle the other day and drank it with a cup of coffee. I was shaking an hour later. It tasted good, but I'm a Pepsi guy. (they were out of NOFears).

I don't like how monster tastes.

What about yourself? what do you like?

I put coffee, because I drink it more often, but I'm a NOFear guy if i have any money.

For me it's a toss up between Red Bull and Rockstar. It all depends on the mood I guess. I drink Red Bull when I'm at home, but I get a Rockstar when I go to work. I used to buy Monster by the case because it's all I could find...but I don't drink it anymore. It's too sweet for me, not enough bite to it.

V8 juice.

When I am that far gone - I need something natural that brings my normal energy levels BACK.

Stimulants are a dead end.

RED BEER is popular with me because it protects against a lot of the damage of booze drinking, and gives back nutrients that booze washes out. It's a mix of tomato or V8 juice and beer, sure fire hangover cure - second only to a western omelet with tomatoes, garlic, and cheese....

(Remember me now? The son of a "B" who was bodybuilding while he was in the NAVY?)

I said that because it works. Vitamin supps help too. Deplete yourself - and you have to pay for it sooner or later. PAY UP! Then move on...

Your body will cannibalize itself if it is not given what it needs.

And get rest when you CAN....

If you need to ask if I am serious - YOU ARE NOT.

Also when I'm not drinking beer (evening time), its coffee in tha A.M. (either instant or drip)

The rest of the day, it's water.
