I do sugar-free energy drinks. That way all the energy is from caffeine and not sugar and I find that there's less of a chance of a crash.
Oh, but I know it's bad for me... but falling asleep at work isn't good for me, either.
I still get the crash unless I drink a ton of water after drinking the Red Bull. Ive tried the Red Bull Energy Shots and those work well. They have the same amount of caffeine as the small 8.4 oz. cans do. (80mg).
A few years back when I was trying out different energy drinks to find one that worked the best for me. I came across this one called Redline. Its a typical looking energy drink in an 8oz can. It says its pretty strong, so I should drink only a quarter of the can to start out. So I drank about a quarter. And in about 15 minutes I was throwing up, my heart was pounding, I got a massive headache and the most intense caffeine buzz ever! I figured it was only last a few hours.....5 hours later still feeling the same. 8 hours later still the same....24 hours later still the same. By now Im getting scared! I actually went to the ER and they said I had caffeine poisoning. They gave me a shot of valium and within about 10 minutes I was passed out! I felt like shit the next day. Kinda like a hangover. Not good! So now I just stick to Red Bull.
