      I like beer but beer just makes me relaxed or sleepy in larger quantities which is the last thing I want if I pull an allnighter

        that's why you find a nice sipping beer for work and save the heavy drinking for when you're home

        former alcoholics have the best advice about drinking!

    I have chronic fatigue, so I've tried them all. Imo, alternate. You're body will get used to one after a while. If monster isn't hitting, I switch to coffee. If that won't work, I'll go to reign for a little while. Red bull hits different, but it's expensive so I usually don't get it.

        red bull is more immediate. Immediate buzz and faster crash. Reign takes longer to hit and usually lasts longer. Especially, of course, if you just sip it all day instead of chugging it immediately. Which one is better is a matter of preference I think. Reign also comes in more flavors, which is nice.

      Not for me. I have problems with Opioids, that would just get me wanting to Fent or Heroin again.

        Yeah I have to mix it with a decent amount of almond chocolate milk, it's the only thing that masks the flavor. Has to be some kind of plant milk that doesn't get frothy when I shake it up in a small jar and then I usually take another shot of chocolate milk to wipe the taste away.

      OG four loko was sometimes almost a guaranteed fist fight or visit from the pigs.

    Redbull for sure they got the taurine caffeine dialed. A strong butter coffee and 500mg taurine or theanine works and is cheap.

    There is one here that is basically just caffeinated sparkling water with the bare mininum of citrus flavour to cover the taste of caffeine. Either that or generic black tea.

      Probably a paradoxical effect. Most drugs can, rarely, just have the opposite effect. Some people will have a drug 'usually' give them a paradoxical reaction (sounds like you with caffeine), and sometimes bodies are weird and just decide to react opposite today. Seems to be a bit more frequent in children. Overall, a pretty weird and poorly understood bit of pharmacology

      Brains are pretty wild, we treat ADHD with stimulants because they basically give the brain the energy to properly prioritize all its thoughts and sensations. I've had it happen where I take literally amphetamine and get sleepy, because it stops me getting distracted from the sleepiness that was already there.

    The best buzz is original flavor Nos by far. Second best is a brand called Venom. Their original red flavor and their mango are great.

      I'm so addicted to NOS, I hope the stop making it, for my own health's sake.

      When I used to drink Nos I'd utter my pre-drink catchphrase: Time to get NOSty! And then chug it. My old boss would get so annoyed when I used to do that.
