I'm not big on energy drinks but I tried one called NOS energy drink and besides the stupid name and marketing campaign, it tasted pretty decent.
Has anybody tried that 5-hour energy stuff?

NOS and Sobe ones are REALLY good! The no fear one used to have a "Gold" version but I don't know what the difference was between them.
Can't do it; the most caffeine I've had in the last six months is a 16oz cup of root beer yesterday to celebrate the end of my fitness test. I don't drink coffee, and only do the energy drink thing during finals (and even then, Vault is as far as I go).
Do you mean flavor or buzz?
For flavor, I like Bawls. I love guarana flavoring. I used to have a Brazilian restaurant near me that served a guarana soda which I was addicted to but they went out of business.
For energy, I don't know. The old Jolt Cola got me going but nothing since then. Coffee or green tea have it all over energy drinks.
Since I cut down on caffeine my energy levels have gone up significantly
Ha! You are right!
I used to drink Starbucks every morning. It has been about three months and I sleep better, wake up earlier and have more energy without the caffeine! Go figure!
Taste AND buzz is so hard to find!
There is one that I really like that tastes good: Monster Khaos. Its a juice one so its pretty drinkable.

At tennis once, around 2 PM on a Sunday, I had a RedBull.
Omigawd.
I was up all night. I couldnt sleep.
Since it was a Sunday, I needed to get up the next morning for school. Im not a morning person. Im the kind that if you say "hello" to the wrong way when I didnt get enough sleep, I bite your jugular.
I had a bad week, and so did a few other people.

Another vote for Relentless
Amazing: Relentless (Also has a cool name and cool looking cans)
Ultimately Crap: Blue Bear

Used to have Red Bull with a Boots Meal Deal, then went onto their healthier energy drinks. Then moved onto them cheap Aldi 33p Red Bull clones when I was cramming a load of work onto my game. Had about 2-3 a day then.
Quit all that stuff and just stuck to having 1 Relentless when I go out hiking.
Now I've cut off all caffeine out of my diet till I get better

How can you say that these wonderful inventions are harmful???Sure they may be but I love them!
They are bad. If you have a high BP rate, they can jack them even higher. You ready for a heart attack? I had to give up all caffeine, my BP was 175/107 and gave me hellacious head aches. Not worth it for a little more energy.
Blue monster (or green really) FTW. I dont like rockstar, i dont like amp, sobe has an alright one. Red Bull isn't that good. Monster also makes a decent coffee flavored line that is a bit hard to find (atleast around here) but very good. Have not found a big 24 oz though.
If you're blood pressure's that high then energy drinks are the least of your worries. I hope you're seeing someone about that.
I am. Hyzaar 100/12.5 My doctor also took me off Tylenol as it was wrecking my liver just to kill the headaches. If I stay away from Caffeine, and on the BP meds, it stays 116/75
For those healthy though, that much caffeine in any form is not good.
