I just went to grab a red bull on my lunch break, and there weren't any in the store..
Instead, I went with 'Impulse Energy Drink' (conveniently in the same popular size)
It boldy/proudly displays the term "Best Tasting Energy Drink" on the can...
(It also has the american flag on it, so of course it would boast being the best)
It tastes like medicine... it better have the power of 3 Red Bull...
My question to all the midnight programmers out there...
What is your favourite caffine solution?
There are like, 30 of them out now, all sporting the same text as Red Bull... periods of mental and physical exertion stuff...
Redbull?
Jolt?
Caffinated Water?
Caffinated Coffee?
Mountain Dew Energy swill?
Is there anyone with a secert ginseng formula that keeps you awake and makes your scalp tingly?

Homer: I'll take the crab juice
That humor aside, I drink caffeine rarely, but when I do, it aint crab juice.. its MDew.
And no, not the energy drink they make. I stick with the original.

Here's a link to common drinks and their caffeine content.

What's funny is that 'Excedrin Migraine' is over the counter and 2 pills (the recommended dosage) contains a total of 130Mg of caffeine. So just pop a few Excedrin to stay awake AND be headache-free! Sugar free too!!

I love excedrin.
I usually just drink regular old coffee.

Red Devil is my favorite, but you can hardly ever get it in the UK any more.
I go for sugar free Red-Bull (with Vodka if after 6pm) now.

Coffee and Imperial mints tend to suffice for me.
