Spin-off of the coffee thread. What are some of your favorites for your daily intake of caffeine? Are you an all-day user or just a few boosts in the afternoon?

I can't stand the taste of coffee and iced tea doesn't have enough kick. I have tried most of the different energy drink and finally settled on Guru 2.0. It goes easy on my already ailing stomach and doesn't have any of the side-effects that I get from most of the other drinks.

I'll sip up one or two of those during the afternoon and evening when the yawning starts to kick in.

The rocket boosters needs fuel all day long. Its not uncommon for me to have 4-5 cups a day.

Have you seen or tried these bad boys?

I have a coffee when I get to work and my second around 2pm. That's it.

If I have a lot of meetings I'll have more because they are boring

I had those in Thailand... I don't drink coffee so my daily caffeine fix consists of just a single can of diet coke... You can imagine the effect those things had on me, especially when mixed with copious amounts of vodka ;)

about a pot of coffee from 6am - 10ish.
Lunch I drink hot green tea.
Water the rest of the work day.
Iced tea from dinner on.

I drink way too much caffeine :|

I drink energy drink a lot a few years ago but found they didnt do the trick and I didnt like the side effects. Red Bulls and Vodka were good but hated the hangover.

We have Mtn Dew on tap here at work, so I just drink Code red all day. If I'm having a really tough day, I get a red bull. A long time ago, snapple used to make these energy drinks that came in metal containers which were REALLY good. I always got the "Rain" which was like cactus juice mixed with guarana. It was sooooooo good. But not very good for your heart :)

Water. All day, everyday. Maybe some flavored water packs like Crystal Lite or the Sobe LifeWater products

Red Bull and coffee for me. Our senior used to rave about those Red Bull's in a bottle. I'll have to try one.

I drink bottled water all day.

I keep hoping a bottle will be tainted with LSD, but no such luck yet.. :(

If it's not coffee, and I'm at work, then it's either water or Rockstar. I've got two trays underneath my desk; one of xdurance which I really don't rate, and one of recovery which is a deliciously caffeinated lemonade. Rockstar Punched would hold the crown for tastiest, but the calories were just OTT.

Cup of coffee in the morning. Occasionally a Dr. Pepper during the day but I'm trying to eliminate soda's and crap from my diet. Mostly just water during the day.

have you tried the Mio water enhancer ?
not bad but contains Acesulfame potassium, which makes the water too sweet for my taste.

I personally love the watermelon mio. Its pretty good. I saw that they came out with some Mio Energy enhancers too. So you turn water into an energy drink? Next time I'm at the store I'm going to pick some up and try it myself
