Do you guys/gals use energy drinks when gaming?

I drink Monster when I am gaming. Although it never really has an effect on me, I just love Monster.

You prob get more energy by living healthy, god I can't wait till I can breathe correctly so I can get healthy.

This shit is probably the best at least in america
Also I think bookoo is the best tasting by far, I wish they still sold the small cans

Drinking energy drinks get me hyper.

I use to drink them a lot, but it got to the point where I became immune to them and no longer gained any energy from them so I stopped.

I never touch energy drinks, unless you count tea. Instead I'd prefer to eat a proper meal that releases energy steadily.

Caffeine hardly does shit to me anymore.

I make my own energy drinks. Mine has no caffeine in it and it's blended with ginseng, several different fresh fruit juices (these are squeezed in the morning after work and what fruit is in these depends on availability and season), and a little 7 up. When that isn't available, I drink Sobe.

I never touch energy drink either.
I'm quite against it as they act like a doping product, not in a sense of addiction, but as a way to block Neurotransmitter action to not feell sleepy, hurt, etc.

In the same way as coffee, tea, coca cola, etc. (although I drink tea and cola)
Of course, each of them have different strength.

My hands start shaking if I drink a few cups of soda, so I try to stay away from energy drinks.

I mix them with Vodka

That's the only time when i drink energy drinks.

I don't believe in energy drinks.

The fact anyone would drink stuff to keep them awake longer purely to play video games is just sad. When you sleep, it's gonna be there when you wake up. You can play again. Most games online won't last for more than half an hour. If you're tired, go to bed. Play it tomorrow.

...Kids these days.

EDIT: And since when was Vitamin Water an energy drink? I drink it every so often and it's nothing more than flavored water. There's no uppers in it.

I actually use vitamin water as a supplement. (eg. when colds are crazy, and I feel like something sweet). It's there because I feel that vitamin water should be limited to adults as well.

I agree with you that using the stuff to keep awake to play video games is kind of sad/nerdy. I use them to boost performance when I'm like dead during exams/cramming. I probably won't use the stuff when I'm doing other things.

Gaming is a form of relaxation to me, and the day I need energy drinks to relax will be a bizarre day indeed.

I'm with Veho... I only grab a Red Bull when it's like 5am at night and trying to make my way home. You know... when I need energy.

Never had one, I'm paranoid about the possible long term effects they could have.

You forgot U-Force, I like them the best. I only drink them when I can't stay awake in school, or some other time when I need energy. :0

Wow, I can't wait to see you an hour later and four bottles down.

Don't even use them.
Only idiots who don't eat healthy food and use lot of energy need them.
And athletes.

I drink Red Bull mostly, but I do like Monster Assault and Bawls Cherry. The drinks hardly affect me, but they do keep me from feeling sleepy for a bit. Drink them when I game all night or some times in the morning so I can wake up, either from an all nighter, or if I have exams.

i rarely drink energy drinks, if i need to stay awake or want a decent jolt i go coffee. only time i drink energy drinks of any form is jagermeister + red bull, but even now i rarely do that.
