    You can't get it for £2.25, it's misleading, it should read £1.50-£3

    E.g. in Zelda you have a flask with bee stuff in it that you can drink from twice... I'm not even an RPG fan...

    Well normal Relentless is king, but the Inferno (orange) version is really nice.
    As for diet, Sugar Free Redbull is just as nice as the original, just no calories.
    Tesco's own brand is pretty neat (Kick it's called) they do both normal and diet, at around £1.50 for a six pack, it's dirt cheap and tastes fine.

    Agreed you should do a review of shop bought cans, stuff guys can get from supermarkets in the UK. (Monster, Rockstar, Relentless, Redbull Cola and own brand is available from most big supermarkets nowadays)

    I don't know if you guys have them in Europe, but you should try NOS. It comes in a bottle that looks like a NOS tank, but it tastes great.

    Lucozade Sport with Caffeine Boost Cheesecake

    Same total caffeine content as a can of Red Bull, but it is:
    • still
    • actually quenches your thirst in addition to turning you gibbering caffeine fuelled mess
    • tastes like fruit flavoured water rather than frizzy sugary urine

    Energy Drinks are an essential part to long term gaming!

    It's not a slow day, we've got plenty of content in the engine for next week :) it's just a light hearted variation on the usual reviews.

    Keep up the recommendations peeps and we'll get some more in for another.

    1) Euro Start (never heard of it tbh)
    2) Rockstar (tried this before! Nice!)
    3) Monster (have to find it)
    4) Lucozade Sport w/ Caffiene
    5) NOS
    6) Relentless Inferno or Green (fruit?)
    7) Tesco/Sainsburies own brand?
    8) Glass Bawls. (oo er!)

    Really cool. Damn chuckle with this. How about tasting them against a nice cup of Nescafe.

    The prices mentioned are stated as "typical" so I don't see that as misleading at all. If they were £50 a can, maybe ;-)

    Since you are taking recommendations, may I recommend reserving a mains outlet at the "lanparty" (whatever one of they might be :)) for a semi-portable-ish :worried: espresso machine. Hell, you're probably carting a huge desktop computer along with you anyway.

    Shooting espresso is the way to go. Energy drinks are for girls :thumb:

    You need to try the 24-branded energy drink! Go to a decent-sized Tesco, they have loads of different branded stuff.

    My favorite energy drink is a mix of Mt. Dew and Bawls. I call it Bew. Three parts dew to one part bawls. That's the ticket for me.

    I find that around 2 litres of Pepsi Max a day (maybe with a couple 330ml mini bottles too) keeps me fresh, on edge and suitably anxious for online games.

    "3) Monster (have to find it)"

    Highly doubt you'll find it in the UK, that's why people order it online. Maybe a bit strange, as the can says: "Monster energy limited - South bank house, barrow street dublin 4, Ireland.

    1,50 quid though, on some online stores. IMO well worth the trouble to get it.

    Trying to decide whether that sounds gross or tasty. I'll have to give it a try sometime.

    Might also want to do Brain Toniq. It's not an energy drink strictly speaking, but I find it pretty refreshing.
