Red Bull

[eminenz2]

Just curious - does anyone here on the board drink this instead of coffee?

DH brought home a can for me because I don't drink coffee but was looking for somthing with a little caffeine for in the morning.

At 110 calories per can and a weird taste, I'm not sure this is the drink for me.

What do you drink instead of coffee?

DIET COKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And now, lucky me, COKE ZERO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One in the morning and I'm happy.

Actually it comes in a lite version. Try that instead. Personally I love the body & flavor of coffee but I have tried Red Bull lite version (I'm not sure what the official name is) during long days when I needed a pick me up.

I have a Red Bull here and there.Sometimes in the afternoon when my slump kicks in but not to often b/c it is expensive and I don't want to start depending on it.The taste doesn't bother me.I have one lite can in my fridge now that will come in handy later today}(

Sugar free Red Bull is pretty decent, but I'm like Lori in that I only have them now and then. I'm a diet Coke girl on days when I don't have coffee. The only thing I don't like about Red Bull is that it's not very sippable. It seems like more of a chug-a-lug beverage, and I like to stretch my cold drinks out to last a while.

I love Red Bull! I have one in the morning because I wake up and workout at 4:30. I drink the sugar free. It has 10 cals and 2 carbs. They give me WIINGS!!!

Coffee or Diet Coke here.
BTW is Coke ZERO any good? What is the diff between it & Diet coke?

I'm not fond of Diet Coke w/ Splenda. I try to limit how much artificial sweetener I consume.

Honestly, just the name "Red Bull" scares me away..LOL

I'm definitely a diet coke girl. Never acquired a taste for coffee.

My MIL makes this chocolate cake with coffee icing. My first dinner with DH's family many years ago, she served this as dessert. I didn't know the icing had coffee in it and almost spit it out on my plate. It was all I could do to maintain some decorum under the circumstances. I don't think throwing up at your boyfriends parents house is a good start to a relationship..heheh;-)

I'm a Splenda type of person so I drink Diet RC for my caffeine. (I don't like Diet Coke's new Splenda version.) It gives me that extra boost in the morning when I don't feel like having coffee.

I drink the sugar free Red Bull occasionally and it does have a kick. I can't imagine the regular with the sugar! I'd be bouncing off the walls. The sugar free only has 10 calories.
