Staying awake

forzaminardi
in ForzaMinardi.com Forum
While, so far, it has been no problem for me to refuse Red Bull (and I have been drinking straight vodka, out of protest, when there was an offer of Red Bull Vodka that someone insisted on getting when going out) it has been quite a challenge staying awake in a silent study area. As the fair-trade muck university dares to call coffee is utterly undrinkable and I abandoned plans to bring my Gaggia with me to Campus, I was looking for ways to get a caffeine boost elsewhere. While in Austria this would be no problem, Red Bull dominates the British market. No XTC, no Dark Dog. Until yesterday I discovered that Sainsbury's do their own version of the drink. I bought it and I have to say it works, it's less sweet than the original and at only 40p it costs only a third of the imperialist dram.

Thank you Sainsbury's

    Sorry, RJ, if you need caffeine and cannot (comprehensibly) drink the English coffee, why do you need Red Bull surrogates? What about a nice Pepsi or COke?
  • forzaminardi
    not strong enough mooohahahaha

    Don't you chaps have Rockstar over there?
  • ATi
    You should buy a bag of caffee bean and eat it like the peanut :hehe:
  • MCSF
    Jello - do you know who makes Rockstar?

    BTW - I prefer RB to Rockstar on a taste basis but as far as punch I think Rockstar takes the day.

    RJ,

    A short black brewed coffee or Cappuccino, no added sugar has 80mg of Caffeine. That's the same amount that is in a can of Bull.

    Order a nice double shot Long Black or latte and you will have 160mg of stimulant for your system.

    If you would like to know more about your options, visit this site...

    Why of course. That would be the great Weiner family.

    Rockstar tastes like it already has vodka in it so it's not a big deal to add some.
  • MCSF
    And what is the senior Weiners show name?
  • Stan
    Or order Jolt cola. I hear they often drink that on lan parties. A couple of cans should keep you up a day or two.
  • Jello_Biafra
    And what is the senior Weiners show name?
    I still think Weiner is a more fitting name.

    the drink of choice:

    Mead: consume enuf to run thorugh villages of your enemies with your beard alight throwing babies in the air and catching them on spears....

    or so it was with m¥ ancestors....oft called berserkers...

    ahh, the days of yore: when men were men and sheep were scared.

    Me thinks I need to mak a trip to West Virginia soon.

    A nice cup of English tea contains a fair bit of caffine!! ;)
  • Jello_Biafra
    Tea puts me to sleep more than it perks me up. Am I strange for that?
  • bernie
    yes, you are strange even without saying that.

    now stop touching yourself.
  • MarkIII
    I drink Lambrini.

    I shouldn't have said that.
