<p>those two have been my weapons of choice lately, the lack of real sugar gets rid of the fall that accompanies a sugar rush, also the taste is slightly worse which is good for waking you up. I like to start with the double shot though because I think coffee has more immediate effects.</p>
<p>Really to me, energy drinks are quite a rip off. It might be because I require a lot more than the avg person. I have friends that just need 1 red bull to keep them awake all night, for me it's been a 4 pack (timed so I drank 1 every 4 hrs) of red bull (8 dollars) and even then after 5 am or so my effectiveness really drops.</p>
<p>Black Coffee is another powerful tool but one all nighter I suffered from excess caffeine and ended up being afflicted by sharp abdominal pains (I had drank around 5 cups of black coffee)</p>
<p>Additionally other methods-</p>
<p>Red Bull / Monster + Arizona Iced Tea: The arizona has a nice smoothing effect in my eyes, so you're not super edgy. </p>
<p>Jamba Juice Acai Supercharger + Energy boost has been working very well for me also, this option is around 4 dollars I think.</p>

<p>I had that yesterday. I didn't realize it at the time.</p>
<p>Red Bull, 180, Pimp Juice, etc all these energy drinks are a complete ripoff and taste horrible IMHO. If I need a boost, I drink a Dew and thats about it. I usually get plenty of sleep, so tiredness is rarely an issue.</p>
<p>I never knew black coffee could be so painful. I had three cups and it kept me awake definitely and I didn't even mind the taste but the next day my JAW ached. Atleast I aced all of my tests.</p>
<p>Definitely going to try the Starbucks double shot, though. </p>
<p>I actually love the taste of Red Bull... but I HATE the sugar free one for some reason. Will try the Iced tea.</p>
<p>Tonight I'm going with the Jones energy drink (which tastes like crap but I bought a four pack) plus Diet coke. I'm scared of becoming immune to caffiene... that'd be terrible.</p>
<p>I LOVE Double Shots, even though coffee no longer gives me energy. I used to eat those Chocolate Covered Espresso Beans nonstop until I read the fat content (eek!) and fell asleep five minutes after eating an entire box (I don't know why caffeine has suddenly become effectless, and it's kind of scaring me)</p>
<p>i usually drink one once or twice a week when i am feeling very tired but i still have to study. for example when i come home from surfing for 3 hours. i'll buy a red bull, monster xxl, or one more i cant think of but i have it most of the time. do u know if rockstar energy drinks or crunk <a href="http://www.crunkenergydrink.com/html2/home.htm%5B/url%5D">http://www.crunkenergydrink.com/html2/home.htm</a> drinks work. i should try them one of these days but they are so expensive!!!!!</p>
<p>Yeah, it kind of scares me too that it's beginning to take so much caffeine to keep me up. I joke with my friend that soon we'll have to move on to adderall or something.</p>
<p>i drink starbucks coffees in the middays when i need good concentration. And i drink a combination of many energy drinks at night. Coffee can't keep me up at night.
I love energy dirnks. My concentration is pure 100%. I get all hyper and I sing while I study and my legs go wild underneath my desk.
I drank 1 can, right before school's formal assembly. and I couldn't stop laughing when it was dead silent. and I kept on tapping this chair in front of mine with my legs (the person got real angry) and i was squeezing people's theighs.. (try it, it really tickles and hurts). THis was all done sneakily of course.</p>
<p>yeah energy drinks have a big effect on me.</p>
