Few things work as advertised so i was skeptic but i will take your word for it. Sounds good, i'll get some right when i leave here.

Once, on a long road trip, I drank 4 red-bulls in about 2 hours. My piss was green, and I became constipated. It took a couple days to recover. Now I steer clear of those energy drinks. Just a word to the wise.

I drink 1-2 Sugar Free Rockstars a day (1 in the AM, and 1 before softball if I'm playing...), and it doesn't mess with me too badly. That's pretty much all my caffeine intake these days.

BSB - from what I understand, they don't have any carbs or sugar and no calories...so drink away.

yeah, that is a big part of why i think it would be better. I mean, i don't need the calories or the sugar, just the energy

I have been using them to pull myself out of tiredness when it is time to go drinking after a long day. I love the stuff.

Also if you drink too much tonight, take one in the morning. Seriously it will cure your hangover in 10 minutes or less.

The only side effect I have seen is that sometimes my skin looks a little more pink than normal. The bottle states this as a possible side effect, and it is harmless. Just means your getting more blood to your skin.

That pinkness is a niacin (Vitamin B3) flush. Niacin opens up the capillaries (blood pumping from heart to body) and increases blood flow, hence the pinkish red skin.

i took this yesterday. I was going to the nationals game and i was falling asleep so i needed something to wake up. It woke me up and i didn't really notice i had taken anything so that was good. It kept me up and i even went out to eat afterwards and i was still pretty awake but when i got home i passed out. I am not sure if i "crashed" or if it was just that i was dead tired before and not it was wearing off.

So i decided to see how it works i would take one at work today. I just took a little while ago but within 15 minutes i was feeling it. I actually noticed how awake it made me. Yesterday, i was at the baseball game so i really didn't pay attention. But today i am really noticing its effects. It is causing a little bit of irritablility. Overall, much better than other energy drinks. This isn't as intense as adderall though. THat is probably a good thing.

Blast from the Past...

Zyience (huge sponsor of UFC) has their own energy drink called xenergy. I went to the good old 7-11 this morning, and supposedly they have new flavors. I picked up a Blu Pom one, and it's very very good taste wise. Unfortunately, they don't tell you how much caffeine is in it...but it feels like I got pick up that is very similar to the one I get from Rockstar. The best part of the xenergy line...Zero Calories and sugar free. Worst part...$2.79/16 oz can.

Glad you decided to weigh in and what's funny is that this thread is so old that she's no longer my fiancee, she's my wife now. And she thinks it's A-OK USA.

I know she's your wife......... I meant your girlfriend!!!!

Honestly, you'd think it would have added to mass if anything.

And that's awesome the Red Iguana got shut down. The few times I was in there, I ended up paying like seven bucks for a bottle and it was nothing but trash in there.

That place was a blight on the city. It was the orgy going on upstairs when some undercover officers went in that was the real nail in the coffin. Nothing says bad publicity like a nightclub orgy.

At a younger age, nothing would have said PARTY like a nightclub orgy.

In my old age, I found it to be just a shit hole. I'll take the parties any day though. I always found UT students to be really cool.

TheMalcolmConnection · 08-23-2007, 04:02 PM

Oh, THAT girlfriend.

WHICH girlfriend?

^^^haha you said the same thing on post 91
