Lots of different nutritional drinks available in Japan, including
some energy drinks.
Not tried any myself yet, I hear they have a funky taste.
What's your drink of choice for an energy boost?

Oh, I actually asked this on twitter a little while back as we have tonnes of energy drinks here all label "natural health product" spiked with caffeine and taurine.
At the moment, I drink NOS in grape flavor as it taste like grape soda, but makes my head go into overdrive after only 1/2 a bottle.

I'm more of a straight black coffee type of person... I do drink MONSTER though when I'm really hurting for some energy.

I love V, but I don't think you can get that in Japan? My husband drinks Red Bull, but I find that too sweet.

I've tried a few from vending machines when there's nothing else I like, but I'm not really keen on the taste. I'd rather have fruit juice or strawberry milk or something.

coffee..really dark, thick robust, black coffee >=) thats my energy drink~
other then that i drink redbull xD my friends mixed it with vodka once and it was good.
But my beverage lecturer in school told us it was a bad mixture and WILL harm ur heart!
Reason being taurine and caffeine in redbull are stimulants and alcohol being a depressant, and the effects dun cancel out each other, and kinda screws up ur heart's functions.
Long term consumption will lead to heart problems!
Told my friends that the nxt day and they were kinda shocked o.O and we kinda stopped haha

Not sure if it's me, but energy drinks seem to drain energy from me xD
I can only recognize the Red Bull there. =X All the rest look so much like some medicinal stuff, in their opaque bottles. All the energy drinks here are in cans that look like red bull xD

I drink energy drinks a lot these days. I usually drink before an exercise or whenever I feel very sleepy. I really feel that I get that extra buzz whenever I drink them but I have to control my consumption. We all know that too much of something is bad for you x_x

I don't really drink nutritional/energy drinks. I prefer a nice tea most of the time.
Although I did used to drink V, but still rarely.

Ribovitan D (however it is spelled properly, I'm not sure) is my favorite when i get a cold. I only drink the blue label one. Drank the purple label one once and was spinning for a few minutes. I think their was too much caffeine in it ^_^

I have only tried Red Bull and didn't really like it at all. After a few hours I fell asleep. ^^;
