13 Energy Drinks In 3 Sessions

circletimessquare writes "As a member of the cult of caffeine, as I suspect many Slashdot readers are, I was pleasantly amused by this story in The New York Times entitled Opening 13 Cans of Whoop (reg req). Our brave reporter sucks down a number of energy drinks of various parentages and gives us the lowdown on their taste, appearance, ingredients, overall effect, and dubious appeal. Example: 'At this point, my energy level was not only elevated, it was speeding toward the red line. I felt myself staring holes through my computer screen, typing at five times my normal rate and thinking far too creatively about life questions like how many AA batteries I needed to buy when I went to the drug store. My mood was chipper. Too chipper.'"

Pussy Americans

What is it with you pussy americans. Over here in goot old Brit-land we drink this stuff with vodka.
A typical night out at a club might be 9/10 double vodka and redbulls. Each of those has a tin of redbull in it.
In fact tesco (a big 'ol grocery store) has started selling their own brand called kick which comes in a 1 litre bottle for a mere 99p. It is very popular with students like me and running up to exams (like now) a can drink 2 or 3 of these a day.
The cool thing about these drinks is they do keep you awake a bit, and even better they dont mince your bowels like drinking 10+ cups of superstrength espresso does.
