Relentless, also like rockstar and Red Bull and Emerge etc but blue bolt tastes like stale horse urine.

It was proven on Panorama the other week that they don't work. Episode here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01l1yxk

Waste of money, if I buy one it's only for the taste and that would be Relentless Tropical.

But at around 300 calories a can it's rare... ;)

They don't work as far as sports performance but waking you up and making you more alert caffeine certainly works :)

Relentless is usually on offer in the CO-OP beside work, so its what I drink, although if im ever in LIDL I grab a case of their random energy drink which costs about 3 quid for 24.

Normally just Emerge or Relentless Origin. Can't stand any others, taste rank.

I have 1 every morning at work (3am) and it seems to work a treat. Wakes me up and gives a boost for the rest of the day.

If they didn't have some sort of effect, why is it if you drink them with Vodka, it gets you proper fuked.

Lucozade Energy (Orange)!

I have to agree with you on this one! I love it. Drank two litre bottles of it on one day last week - very addictive. I do relentless and especially Red Bull when its mixed with Jägermeister. Yumm :p

I find it disgusting how you know what stale horse urine tastes like!!

I've had red bull in the past about 4 years ago, wouldn't touch the stuff nowadays waste of time.

Plus all these bells nowadays that have monster stickers on their cars and vans are gay

8th August 2012, 09:08
Rockstar is by far the best! Still quite partial to a monster every now and then as long as its not chaos. Relentless if i really have too.
Used to drink them before work all the time but i started getting headaches so have cut down, now i just buy fruit shoots! They're so nice lol

Do people actually realise they have a negligible effect on your energy levels unless you're hypoglycaemic

They are just full of sugar even the less tame drinks such as lucozade have a standard 8 table spoons of sugar in them. The people that make a habit of drinking them have to always use them when they feel 'tired'. How about go without them instead drink some water i bet you would feel more awake. I have had a couple maybe from working on university assignments all night long in an al night all day circumstance not for just when i feel tired.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion.

Let's face it, most people that drink these do do because of clever marketing and to maintain an image.

Others are more logical in their approach to what they consume ;)

Anyway, if we're talking REAL energy drinks we're talking isotonic where the emphasis is on salt content rather than sugar or caffeine.

I said I enjoyed their opinion being shared, it makes me laugh :)!

Marketing on the energy drinks is very well done, I agree with that comment 100%.

Logical approach to consumption, there's another one of those cracking comments which raises a smile :)!

I don't buy them, not because they don't taste nice but because I don't like what they do or are.

Am I the only one wondering why people need excess caffiene and glucose to stay awake?


Unless you work odd hours (i.e nightimes) then you shouldn't need anything extra.

If you do then it could mean you have a problem which needs to be looked at or more likely, you are not getting enough sleep.

Try to stay off them completely as they're full of shit whether you like them or not.

I will usually have them if I know I need to stay awake and preferably like Red Bull, have tried them all though and Relentless and Monster and good but the Original ones, the other flavours aren't great.

But I usually resort to Kx from tesco as they're more affordable, £1.50+ for a tin of shit seems illogical.

None, beer is much better and a lot cheaper for the same amount as monster, relentless.....ect..

But you kno when one Leeds to another, I had to get picked up that day and pretend my car wouldnt start.
