Default Energy drinks

Energy drinks seem to gain a following likened to that of your favourite sports team/rider/manufacturer etc

There are quite a few to choose from; Monster, Relentless, Pussy, UK Mountain Dew, Red Bull and the like.

I love my Monster Energy, nice on it's own, loads a variety and great with Jägermeister.

I have not tried Relentless, but, my dad likes them, I don't like the smell.

My hate would be Redbull, hate the taste...

So, what I was wondering was what "camp" Org members base themselves in? Which ones have you tried? And which ones will you avoid like the plague?

Good old "Green" Monster for me .... goes nicely with Port . Tried Relentless and thought it was lacking , One of the Rockstar ones was nice but the Yellow one was like flat lemonade .... nasty . the one I always come back to is the Green Monster though

They are all really bad for you. Full of sugar, artficial nonsense and acid to rot your teeth. Water is my choice.

Thanks moosh

Didn't that amazing wealth of knowledge paper "the sun" put some fat bloke on it for a week and it completely messed up his heart pattern fairly dangerously?, I seem to remember reading it... I mean looking at the pictures


I won't touch the stuff, or coffee.... evil stuff and makes your breath wreak of mouldy ****
