Basically, I woke up now. I had 2 of the 500ml Original Rockstar Energy, last night. And I have NEVER, felt so bad from drinking this kind of crap.
I'm usually rockin' the Rockstar Energy Cola which I think tastes awesome, holy fuck this is terrible.

Is there particular brand/taste of energy drinks make you feel like crap?

Which one is your preferred one?

You must be caffeine sensitive or 12,  I have downed 7+ of these in a day and always wake up feeling just fine,
And these have way more of everything than Rockstar has 
 Also the most Taurine of any energy drink, And that is what I look for in an Energy drink (most have 0-1000mg)

@lolicanseeyou: 
Yeah I really want to buy an expensive energy drink that has a whole 80mg of Guarana 
You would really be better off buying a bottle of WakeUps pills  100mg of caffeine in each and there about 100 in a bottle for $6.00

I know it doesn't really count as a energy drink. like you guys mentioned. But I'd say it is somewhat related. So I'm gonna go ahead and say standard black cup of coffee.

I have drank so much caffeine that I only get withdrawls, not hangovers. What is fun is speedballing Drank and Red Bull.

@lolicanseeyou: 
You know a cup of coffee is natural to right? 
And a cup of coffee will have more natural caffeine than your expensive "energy drink"  Seriously up to double the amount in one cup of coffee.

Bawls is pretty good, and the Rockstar Cola is surprisingly good as well, Monster on the other hand is pretty mediocre.

Taurine is an extract from bull liver or kidney and has no proven energy-related effects.
 
Stick to standard caffeine and don't buy into the hype. I know you're a troll, Coombs (one of the best!), but be either less subtle or more amusing, lest you don't stand out.
 
Also, don't bring that 'natural' bullshit buzzword into this thread please, guys.

"

Actually

 Taurine crosses the blood-brain barrier and has been implicated in a wide array of physiological phenomena including inhibitory neurotransmission, long-term potentiation in the striatum/ hippocampus, membrane stabilization, feedback inhibition of neutrophil/ macrophage respiratory burst, adipose tissue regulation and possible prevention of obesity

Other than the obesity part, What that means is it makes you alert,
it does not provide energy like caffeine does, But it causes your synaptic reflexes to improve (you think faster) and helps with memory retention. 
It is in essence the perfect "Gamer Fuel"
 
It was first found in the liver, And testicles (which is where the Bull Semen myth comes from)  It is NOT extracted from those sources for energy drinks
 

Taurine is naturally produced in the testicles of many mammals. Urban legends suggest that taurine is extracted from the semen and/or urine of bulls. While it is true that taurine is found in these sources, nearly all commercially available taurine is chemically synthesized.

  @Coombs: Interesting. My chemistry knowledge consists of little more than a brief read-through of Isaac Asimov's 1958 book, "The World of Nitrogen" so it's likely a little outdated.

Just stay away from Rockstar. Men's Health Magazine did 20 worst drinks in America and Rockstar was rated the worst energy drink.
  
Rockstar Energy Drink (1 can, 16 fl oz) 
 
  280 calories
0 g fat
62 g sugars
 
 "it has 60 more calories than the same amount of Red Bull and 80 more than a can of Monster. If you’re going to guzzle, better choose one of the low-cal options. We like Monster; it offers all the caffeine and B vitamins with just enough sugar to cut through the funky extracts."  
 
When I do get an energy drink I'll grab full throttle, I enjoy the taste.

@Jrad: 
lol yeah perhaps a bit outdated,
I have pumped alot of this shit into my body, And because of that I have done my research on it.
Honestly if I could buy just straight Taurine I would probably just use that, As there is no known negative side-effects from consuming large amounts of it,
It is all the other stuff that is in energy drinks that cause harm to your body, Though not much worse than a 1L bottle of coke.
But I'm a smoker so harming my body in such a minor way really isn't that big of an issue to me, Not until it fucks me over in the future and I get diabetes anyway.....
 
@AdamGee:
Full throttle was the one I started with,  Then moved on to AMP then NOS and that is where I have remained. 
I prefer the alert feeling I get from it, Which as I said before I attribute mostly to the Taurine.

I used to drink Relentless a whole lot, but that shit is really fucking unhealthy, and not worth it just for a boost. I just stick to coffee now.

It's the sugar that makes you feel like crap after you've crashed.    If you don't want to feel like crap, drink sugar free alternatives.

I love energy drinks but I try not to drink more than one per week.
 
The original Rockstar is pretty bad, if you ask me. I can't believe how it's so popular when they have several much better tasting flavours. Rockstar Juiced and Energy Cola are both awesome. Sadly we only have 5 different Rockstar flavours in my country.

Anything that has ever lived is organic, that means crude oil. You might die if you drank that neat.

Eh, energy drinks were never my thing. 5 Hour Energy does its job nicely but I only have it when I've pulled an all-nighter and have to work a nine hour shift the next day. I don't really see what the big deal is about them though, or why people chug them like they're the elixir of life. I guess some people like the taste, but otherwise I don't see what's so hard about getting more sleep.
