Alright, I’ve got one long day of editing video ahead of me. By noon tomorrow I need to have two finished products ready to be put on DVD.
This means I will probably be up until noon tomorrow doing it. My poison is generally the Starbucks Espresso Doubleshots. But they’re 7.50 for a four-pack. Will any of those energy drinks (Adrenaline, Red Bull, etc.) do the work just as well?
Red Bull works well for me. However, I have taken care not to overdo it (in case I develop immunity to Red Bull too… .) Keeps me aware for next many, many hours. However, that doesn’t mean it keeps me energetic and intersted in work, too.
The caffeine makes me happy and buzzy for a long while, but then the overdose of sugar makes me crash and I end up coma-ing out. That’s my big problem with the red bull-style energy drinks.
As much as I love the Dew I try to avoid soft drinks. Y’ see, caffeine is my aderol. I can focus on my task at hand for long hours if I have a steady supply of strong coffee or espresso. My mind will wander far less when I’m overcaffeinated.
Thanks for chiming in, guys. Anybody else know a good one that costs less than Starbucks?
