Caffeine

[Gormur]

i guess consider yourselves lucky[?] if caffeine keeps you up. i could smoke crystal or crack all day and just fall asleep at the end of the day. nothing really keeps me up anymore...

for some reason alcohol used to keep me up for days. now i can't binge like i used to, tho, so who knows

Caffeine makes me tired too.

^ That's strange.
I've tweaked out on caffeine just as much as I did on adderall, vyvance, ritilan...

Caffeine... yuck. Makes me jittery as all hell.

I used to drink Red Bull a lot to start off my nights (Jaegerbomb!), but now I don't touch the stuff.

I hate energy drinks, just a huge gimmick to get your money. If you really need caffein that bad, you could save a lot of money by just getting caffeine pills

I hate how their ingredients are advertised.

Taurine isn't proven to give any energy at all (it is found in bile though, maybe that explains the awful taste of those drinks)

Guarana is caffein, plain and simple. It's just the name of the plant that has a high caffeine contente

So you can pick just caffeine, or caffeine plus way to much sugar and all that high fructose corn syrup and other unhealthy shit with an awful choice

For me, the choice is obvious. Though Coke is my favorite drink (for the taste though), and I do love some coffee in the morning (again, not for the caffeine)

get yourself an espresso machine. they're like $40 and then you can drink all the espresso/cappachino you want for like $8 a week. Actually 1lb of coffee ($8 for the good stuff) will last me about 2 weeks.

So for the price of 4 redbulls, you can get a fuck ton of coffee. And you'll learn to love coffee just as much if not more than energy drinks. I used to drink energy drinks like a fiend...me and my friends used to boost them all the time from gas stations. Runnin out with like 6 redbulls tucked in my winter jacket in the middle of july...lol.

But now I have my espresso machine and it's all good. Awesome fancy coffee whenever I want for like $.25-.50 a cup. I'll still buy a sugar free redbull once in a while but that's mostly because I like the taste of it. Or thai redbull (available at your local asian grocery store) because it's f'n delicious....it makes US redbull taste wayyyy watered down and it isn't carbonated.

anyway coffee FTW

Taurine may not be a stimulant, but it is a great temporary anxiolytic. It is often mixed with supplements such as phenibut or magnesium for sleep preparations.

This can mean a lot when it comes alleviating the caffeine jitters.

These energy drinks are really good if used for their intended purpose.

As everyone else has said, if you really want caffeine, buy it from your local store in pill form, or from an online body building site.

Be prepared for the headaches though. Aspirin is effective at alleviating these headaches when you get them, and you will if you become dependent on caffeine.
