I just dont like the taste of the engery drinks, plus on top of that they're more expensive. My cousin however, he drinks 1-2 engery drinks on top of 4-5 mountain dews at work (night shift) and says it does helps him stay awake...

Ok, time for me to step in.
I got one word for ya...COFFEE!
Not that McD's or Gas station crap.
I'm talkin, brew at home, 14 tablespoons to a pot, mud.
Now that's a waker upper.
In fact I had a boss at my morning job that insisted that I bring him 1 8oz. cup every morning and he claimed it had the same effect as a 6 pack of monster energy drinks (which he love's).

I have heard people say that none of the above mentioned drinks give them energy, but I guess It just depends on the person. When I don't sleep at all, they wake me up for at least half the day.

It is simply comparing liquid in general. Re Bull does not give you energy. Anyone who believes this needs to get their head examined. I am comparing liquid one to liquid two.

Liquid 1 : 25 cents an ounce
Liquid 2 : 4 cents an ounce

well if its a bargain your looking for i can sell you a gallon of piss for 50 cents.

thats like .39 cents per ounce

or i can sell smaller bottles of 4 ounces for a penny as an introductory price.

I'm saying people spend wayy too much money on crappy energy drinks that give them an illusion of being more energized.

Oh, and if you want to get technical, Arizona DOES have an "energy" drink, which is also 99 cents for a 24 ounce of it.

2. its not about the taste or price, its about the benefits
3. no offense justin, but u proved my point about the US always thinking "bigger is better"
not trying to pick a fight, just layin out some facts

It's not bigger is better at all, IT'S VALUE. You get three times as much for half the price.
