I know it’s bad for you. It’s tastes pretty gross. But when I drink a can my concentration is vastly improved, my thoughts are clearer and I work so much better. It can’t be just the caffeine, coffee doesn’t have the same effect.. What is it?

taurine is the other active ingredient.

and sugar. lots of sugar.

So how bad is it really then… How else can I get that hit without getting jacked up on Red Bull 🙂

Borrow someone’s Ritalin.

Get some good ol’ fashioned placebos?

I hear modafinil is pretty trendy these days.

Theres lots of stuff that has a similar effect to taurine – read the labels on some of the other energy drinks , they usually contain any or all of Cortexiphan, Melatropin, Polydichloric euthimal, Somnacin, Timoxeline barbebutenol, Vitameatavegamin, or Fukitol

Does anyone else enjoy the same benefits? I’m a software developer, so it’s the perfect storm of sedentary job and poor diet….
