SWing'R Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 I myself like and use 5hr Energy, however, while at Big Lots in Hilliard thisweekend I found several types of energy shots and and drinks in theirfood section!Found this for $1.00 a bottle, looked up the ingredients of 5hr Energy andcompared it to this, almost identical! Close enough for me considering the savings!They even had something that said "For Women" on it that was TWO bottles for $1.00 ! I didn't really see anything in the ingredients that would technically make it just for women, but hey why chance it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 (edited) I keep thinking about the energy drinks I found in Japan in the 70s. They typically did not have caffeine. They did work very well. And had some unusual ingredients. I just googled this bit of history:It all started in Japan, when Taisho Pharmaceuticals released a drink called Lipovitan-D in 1962. It contained a mix of B1, B2, and B6 vitamins, along with niacin and taurine, all of which are metabolic agents intended to boost energy and concentration. “Tonic drinks soon grew in popularity in Asia and, in 1987, an Austrian named Dietrich Mateschitz took the concept, added caffeine and sugar, and formulated Red Bull, which quickly became popular in Europe.But notice that the original concept was a pharmaceutical, not a soft drink.edit: btw, I brought back Japanese energy drinks in 1972, with the intention of copying and introducing them to the US market. I never did. I'm an idiot... Edited October 3, 2010 by ReconRat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevysoldier Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 I know guys that put coffee grounds in their lips or Tabasco sauce around their eyes to wake them up. But I don't recommend doing this unless you are on guard duty in a combat zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serpentracer Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 you guys shouldn't drink that shit.you'd feel better if you sleep better. poor sleep is almost exclusively why you feel tired during the day. my suggestion is to get the proper amount of sleep and a good sound sleep. protein shakes will also help you feel better.
