Energy drink review, coffee suspiciously omitted

February 5, 2008 by Geeks are Sexy | 5 comments

The ancient Gods had Ambrosia, southerners have Budweiser, and geeks have the energy drink. How else would we be able to learn the things we know and to the extent that we know them; with only 24 hours in the day? Without caffeine and massive doses of sugar, most of us wouldn’t have even been able to get through school.

Alright, so we definitely need this delicious category of beverages to sustain our day to day functions, but which brand is the best? With so many names out there, what should you drink when you’ve got a paper due in the morning?

Thanks to Mike Fahey of Kotaku, your next trip to the local deli might be a shorter one. He has risked the health of his heart and liver to review 13 popular energy drinks and give you the lowdown on their taste and buzz.

Looks like the best all-around drink is Monster with a perfect combination of flavor and go power. While Cocaine is a kick in the mouth with the most energy.

There is one drink that is missing from the list. Sobe also put out another energy drink called Arush. They made two versions of it, Regular and Sugar-Free. They both look like pineapple juice and tastes like Five-Alive without the bitter and stingy after taste. While I can’t stand anything Sugar-Free, it tastes amazing and definitely kept me going for those 3am rush projects at the office.
