Advantages: Instant boost

Disadvantages: Made me really hungry

If I want to have an energy drink I will usually have a can of relentless, but the other day I worked 9pm-3am, which is normal for me, I felt like having something other than just a cup of coffee to keep me awake. I went in my local co-op to get a can of relentless when their wasn't any so I decided to get a can of red bull.

It costs £1.20 and It has 32mg of caffeine per 100ml, which is quite high but it was what I needed to give me a pick up.

I drunk it as soon as I got to work at 9. The first thing I noticed was it wasn't as gassy as relentless. It didn't make me feel quite bloated and didn't instantly make me want to burp :) For the first hour I was really quite hyper. I had gone from tired can't be bothered to do anything, to I wanted to do everything and it gave me a real instant boost.

Then the after effects came. I don't know weather this was just me or if it happens to anyone else but after the first hour of happy and buzzing I became quite sluggish and I got very very hungry. I had eaten my tea before I left and that always does me fine for the night when I work till 3am but at 11 o clock I had to go to the shop to get something to eat as I was so hungry I couldn't focus or anything else.

After my initial hour of liveliness, the next hours where worse than usual. I felt more tired than I usually do at that time.

I found red bull very good for the first hour, which I suppose is the purpose of it. But after the hour of it made me more tired than usual

Summary: Good for a short term fix
