    Well...I happen to like Red Bull. Gotten me past quite a few pre-exam nights. :D

    PS: Coffee is addictive and bad for you. If you drink coffee, your insides will shrivel up and you will die a most painful death. Coffee is NOT good. Down with coffee!! :flaming: :flaming:

    Kick, tesco's version of red bull - cheaper, taste's betters, more energy per serving and can be bought by the litre. However once you've used it a few times it's effects are lessened and you'll need to drink more at a time and in advance to when you want to stay awake. Unfortunately if you get the timing wrong then you can end up having difficulty getting to sleep.

    BLASPHEMER!! BLASPHEMER!! Thou shalt wash thy mouth out with coffee for such blasphemy! You heathen! :flaming: :evil: :flaming:

    Anyway, I've heard Red Bull is very effective unless you 'OD' on it. I heard somewhere about someone who had a couple of dozen Red Bulls in one night and went on some kind of violent rampage of destruction, so if you drink that stuff, be careful to only have 18 or so. :xx:

    I'm pretty sure it's just 'Bawls' and is in a blue bottle, not 'Blue Bawls'. I have a friend who swears by the stuff, but I'm not a fan of energy drinks myself.

    The only thing that actually will keep you awake and sharp for a long time, is water. Caffeine and alcohol will dry you out (that's why you get hangovers) and make you tired, and the sugar in energy drinks will give you extra energy for a short period before you'll be weaker than before you drank it. Food with lots of fat (like meat) also makes you tired.

    I've been in the army, and there I had to drive a 26000 kg tank for several days with minimum sleep. I've tried different things, but water is the only thing that could keep me sharp.

    But coffee still tastes good, and I drink lots of it :p .

    Skip the energy drinks and take a brief break to get some exercise. Nothing is more stimulating that a good burst of physical activity - followed by plenty of refreshing WATER.

    Water is definitely the best thing for keeping the body awake.

    (especially when filtered properly through coffee grounds!)

    Ummm...exercise? 1/2 of that 72 hourer...which I'm already 6 hours in to...is going to be WORK! Another 6 straight hours of it is going to be laser tag, and the rest will be spent at a LAN party. So by the time I drag my sorry butt over to the LAN party, I'll have had enough exercise to last me a week or so!

    [Edit] In the spirit of my Mt. Dew obbsession, I bought a can of Amp which is made by Mt. Dew! When I saw the Mt. Dew logo on the can I couldn't resist. I haven't tried it yet, I'm saving it for around 2-3am...but I'll let you all know how great, or horrible it tastes. :rolling:

    Meh. I'm gone one day, and the flames just keep on comin'...

    Ehh, you guys...I was serious about coffee being bad for you in the long term but. It apparently mucks up with your nerve centres so that you have to keep drinking it until you feel 'normal' again. You know, the whole "gotta get my morning cup of coffee" thing is a sign of addiction.

    Anyway...its fun watching the reactions from the Coffee Brigade. :banana:

    I'm with Faraaz on this one. Coffee is bad bad bad. It's just a socially accepted kind of bad, much like alcohol. Except that coffee is a whole lot more addicting.

    You're a bunch of junkies, all of you. :)
