I don't like energy drinks. I don't feel like they do anything but make me crash later. Everyone at work has been drinking Red Line Energy Drinks. They all swear by them.
I decided to give them a go. When I bought it, the cash register beeped to make sure that I was at least 18 years old. The bottle is covered with warnings, including a warning to only drink half the first time. I drank half and waited 45 minutes. I felt nothing, so I finished the bottle. I went to work and as I was sitting down before starting I realized that I felt like running. It worked. I find that I might feel like running about 2 hours after drinking for about half and hour and then after that I just feel awake. The bad part is that it is thermogenic, so sometimes it makes me uncomfortably hot and sweaty....OK, so you find it in the diet section of Walmart or GNC. Also, it seems to build up tolerance quite quickly, so I can't have the same effect day after day (That's probably good).
I did a search for Red Line energy drinks and the Internet is filled with horror stories and ER visits from first time users and energy drink enthusiasts.
It sounds somewhat scary, to tell the truth. None for me, thanks.
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of sugar free Rockstar, myself. There's just something about the chemical mixture of it that really works for me. But now I'm going to have to find me some Redline and give it a go.
ReplyDeleteThe flavors sound horrible, though. Grape, green apple, and berry? Ugh. Which flavor do you like best?
By the way, the nice thing about sugar-free Rockstar is that Costco carries it. If you drink a lot of energy drinks, it's way cheaper to buy in bulk. A case of Rockstar at Costco runs about $27 ... Just a little over a dollar a can. Most stores charge $2-$3 bucks a can for that shit!
ReplyDeleteMaybe if everyone decides they like Redline, though, Costco will start carrying it.
I can only find the Triple Berry and it is disgusting. I drink more like a shot of whiskey. It's only 8 oz. each.
ReplyDeleteI love the taste of Rockstar, but it does nothing for me, but make me tired later.
Smart girl!! I drink it sparingly.
