Anyone into "5 Hour Energy" ?
 

see them all around, I still like Red Bull when I need a boost. Anyone here try it, hooked on it ?

Claire had one and it made her sick. I won't touch them now :)

a few years ago when i'd go out alot my personal cab driver swore by the 5 hour energy but i told him i like my red bull too much. I saw at the gas station the other day that red bull has one of these types of things now

I found mixing them with a couple of double espresso's and some redbulls works out well, if I need some extra energy I'll drink a couple of the Starbucks ice coffees too :pimp

have you tried the Starbucks doubleshot coffee and energy in a can? I've been drinking them a lot and the taste really good. I get the mocha.

not my thing :2 cents:

Never tried it.

Yeah they are great, especially if you are driving for a longer period :thumbsup

If I need more energy I get a short nap and then go to the gym. Works every time.

dont have the luxury to do that all the time:winkwink:

Double expresso then :)

they kick ass

:thumbsup I like those, gives you a jolt , maybe some Remy VSOP on the side:winkwink:

I like the 5 hour energy, never tried the knockoffs tho.

I tried it and it didn't work :2 cents::pimp

Never heard of it but it seems too new to experiment with. I'll stick to coffee or espresso for a pick me up.

read about some side effects with flushing of face and tingling feelings in the leg, something like that would freak me out and think something was wrong:2 cents:

Yeah, the article on CNN mentioned reactions to B3 is to turn flush red but it only lasts 30 minutes. Yeah, that's comforting. lol

I personally love it. Way better than any other energy drink, no drop off or burnout, you kind of level out.

That stuff can't be healthy for you

Try running for 5-10 minutes. You'll get alot more energy from that

I prefer "1 hour of energy and 4 hours of nap"

great combo:winkwink:

5 hour energy is the only one of them I like, you have to slam it because it tastes like shit but Craig Tant turned me onto them and I never looked back

I drink one a day. They are great! Don't make you tired and don't have 8 pounds of sugar in them! :winkwink:

i had one during a road trip, it seemed to do the job

I like to start my day with a nice long sleep. Then a short nap in the afternoon, followed by more rest, and then bedtime promptly at 9. Ahhh...

i tried it on a long drive and i found it worked great!

with the amount of money people spend on this snake juice, you should just do cocaine lol

guarana makes me fly :D

LOL Julius don't touch those things the last thing we need is your jumping off the ceilings!!

I tried one once and it did absolutely nothing for me...

This was day 5 of a week long bender in Vegas though so YMMV.

boing........ boing............ boing ..............:1orglaugh

Hell no.. No way any of that shit is good for you. That shit will probably kill your kidneys or liver in about 10 years "experts" will claim.

I just kicked Red Bull.

Yeah, I picked up one of the Red Bull version of it yesterday, but I wasn't tired last night, so I didn't try it. I drink Red Bull often, so I figured if I was gonna try one, I should stick with the Red Bull version. Anyone else try the Red Bull version yet ?

I used to drink them, buy them in the 6 packs and drink 1 a day before I started work, it usually let me crank out some stuff and be focused for about 4 hours, but after that I got lazy again... Did it for 2 or 3 months, and got thinking it was probably bad, so I quit it and now I'm trying to get my energy by dropping all sugar drinks and other stuff and trying to drink just water... So far the energy I get from being hydrated and drinking water lasts longer than anything else, like 5hr Energy, Coffee, or Red Bull. :2 cents:

Bullshit!

Water is far less optimal than any drink, it's easy and fast to see the difference.
Try day 1 to drink 1 gallon of water
Try day 2 to drink 1 gallon of red bull
Try day 3 to drink 1 gallon of 5 hour energy.

Then compare the result, if you compare things you need to compare them by the same volumes, it's unfair to compare 1 gallon water with 20 ML of 5 hour energy or 330 CL of red Bull

I prefer to take a 20 minute nap, recharge and be energize then put this kind of crap in my body.

I do take the occasional red bull but to be honest, never felt it did anything to me.

Ginseng and Guarana tea actually gives me bigger boost

Lol, so you're saying my experience of being hydrated and drinking water, gives me better energy than taking any energy drinks, is bullshit? Hey, whatever if you feel that drinking all that helps so be it, but not everyone is the same, water works fine for me.

no way!!! That shit really works as advertised?? I keep a coffee maker at the studio and stalked up on Starbucks coffee.


Coffee only!! But if Ricky says it works i may try it once in a pinch. Does it make you want to punch talent on the come down??lol

That's how I'm able to drive to Orlando (DISNEY), if I don't take one of those, I simply fall asleap on my way...

Starbucks Double shot gives you the boost tastes great and goes great with cigarettes :thumbsup

I love them!

I buy them at costco, $2 / bottle

It's like candy for coders :frenchman

I'd like to see a cost/benefits analysis on the above.

I just got them at Costco for the first time a couple weeks ago and I think it was less than $40, so close to $1.50. Better than buying them individually at $3 per, yikes!

So far I like them - I've had about 4 or 5 other brands of these "shots" and as bad as some people seem to think this tastes, I find it tastes better than most of the others (Monster's is probably the best tasting IIRC). Energywise it does seem decent. I used to have the sugar free Rockstar's and honestly I like these better for energy (but admit it seems weird to pay more for 2 oz bottles than 16 oz cans, lol).

I have one from time to time...I haven't made a habit of it; it works well for me though.

One coffee and a lot of water and juice works just fine for me.

And always has.
