Hi can i ask what people think about energy drinks such as redbull ? me personally there’s some which are quite nice and then there’s some that cost too much and don’t taste that grate either !
All the ones I've tried taste like cherryade and I hate cherryade sad I have only drunk them when I have to drive home late at night (or early morning :twisted: )and need to stay awake, but find their effectiveness is a bit hit and miss. The first and only time I drank vodka and Red Bull I fell asleep within half an hour! I woke up about 2 hours later (when everyone else had gone to bed) and was wide awake for the next 3 hours :shock: Never again!

when i use the stuff for vodka or southern comfort i buy it from lidl's as its only 25p a can..funnily though i cant stand the smell or taste of it unless im in the mood for a good drink lol
I hate the taste of red bull and it's effects are a bit full on for me..it gives me palpitations!
I tend to buy Tesco own brand one. It's called Kick and they do a diet cranberry version which is quite nice.
My kids swear by it, its what they have when they go out dancing all night (with out the vodka!)
We have a chap who always brings two on a meet with us!!!

I like to "water down" my energy drinks with lemonade and plenty of ice........give or take a large vodkawink
It really takes the cherryade taste away... and makes for a more refreshing and thirst quenching drink.....
and it fits in a pint pot nicely tooo.
If its gonna cost 6 quid a go..it has to taste good!!!
If I do energy drinks I look for sugar free ones..... and mix it with fruit juice.....
for example.... I am a madman for sugar-free red bull and Ribena.....
Drink what works best....but nothing beats a sugar rush

Spot on.
Redbull etc aren't energy drinks. The caffeine and guarana etc don't add any extra energy to your system. What they do is produce a sudden release of adrenaline (or similar?) that appears to give you energy. It makes you more lively - for a while. But you use up energy without gaining any back. Once the drug (after all, that's what it is) wears off, you feel even more tired than before.
They may seem like a good idea when you are driving - but if you need chemical help to stay awake while you are driving - you NEED to stop!
Went out drinking one night, got pissed on VodBul, threw up when I got home, now can't abide the stuff, just smells like sick to me! :doh:
