  • mwtapp, on 11/09/2009, -3/+112Coffee is the #1 energy drink.
  • Armagin, on 11/09/2009, -2/+54no bawls?
  • Awwzm, on 11/09/2009, -2/+47I wish they sold Brawndo (The Thirst Mutilator) around here.
  • paulvq, on 11/09/2009, -0/+39Well when all of the other energy drinks just reek of douchiness, it's easy to be the classiest.
  • getsome2k, on 11/09/2009, -4/+42Redbull...... classy.... really???
  • DarkSpartan, on 11/09/2009, -0/+34People are just afraid to say they like Bawls. Personally, I think they're nuts.
  • GastricContents, on 11/09/2009, -0/+33As a Monster-drinking, Adult Swim-watching Georgian who is at least 62% male, I support this research.
  • BenTheTank, on 11/09/2009, -2/+35Women make up 38% of the market? I would have expected way lower.
  • nmoulana, on 11/09/2009, -5/+37Red Bull actually tastes good to me.
  • algizzle, on 11/09/2009, -2/+31booty sweat?
  • dillonflynn, on 11/09/2009, -7/+35How to make anything taste like Red Bull:

    1. Crayons
    2. Lemon Juice
    3. Advil
  • cCPanda, on 11/09/2009, -1/+26 Without Redbull you cant have really classy drinks, like....

    JAGERBOMBS!
  • sHockz, on 11/09/2009, -8/+31could be me, but i think all the energy drinks taste like piss in a can.
  • djnikadeemas, on 11/09/2009, -1/+21For once... I am not a number, I am a free man!
  • jserio, on 11/09/2009, -0/+18All that data and no age groups? I'm guessing 16-25.
  • lorem1000, on 11/09/2009, -0/+17Something tells me they weren't considering Civil War politics when they divided up the marketing sectors for an energy drink consumption chart.
  • iDiggYa, on 11/09/2009, -8/+24I don't know about you guys, but Sleep is the best energy drink for me.

  • DoctorPeptalk, on 11/09/2009, -21/+35Red Bull is probably the classiest of all energy drinks
  • clemsontiger, on 11/09/2009, -1/+15TANTRUM
  • Jektal, on 11/09/2009, -0/+13I don't want to know about the research you underwent for that comment...
  • captininsanity, on 11/09/2009, -0/+13Dugg while drinking coffee.
  • junaeroplane, on 11/09/2009, -0/+13its got what plants crave!
  • KingGorilla, on 11/09/2009, -0/+13What kind of otter taint do you taste? Because depending on the otter you can get a completely different flavor from the taint
  • mca7, on 11/09/2009, -1/+13No NOS?
  • strictnein, on 11/09/2009, -0/+12Because it is good.
  • varmit, on 11/09/2009, -0/+12http://www.thinkgeek.com/caffeine/drinks/9cce/
  • EddiePotato, on 11/09/2009, -0/+11Black tea is #2.
  • densetsu23, on 11/09/2009, -1/+12When I first drank them, beer tasted like puke and coffee tasted like pure bitterness in a mug. But now I consider both awesome drinks.

    It's called an acquired taste.
  • Jektal, on 11/09/2009, -0/+11Bawls were energy drinks before energy drinks were cool. Except Bawls. Bawls have always been cool.

    And Bawls Root Beer rocks.
  • strictnein, on 11/09/2009, -1/+11When did Lemon Drops start featuring red bull?
  • lolwatermelon, on 11/09/2009, -2/+12Jolt and Bawls are pretty classy.

    Actually, Brain Tonic is probably the classiest energy drink.
  • BryanTravers, on 11/09/2009, -3/+13I know, seriously, I live right in the thick of it here in Texas. The energy drink problem is so bad here, it's almost unbearable. I'm not being sarcastic at all when I tell you that the drink preferences of some have negatively effected my life and the lives of those around me. The carnage is indescribable.
  • mogglas, on 11/09/2009, -0/+9made with lightning, REAL LIGHTNING!!!
  • captininsanity, on 11/09/2009, -0/+9Just add salt and you've got "Crunk!"
  • ExSlashdotter, on 11/09/2009, -2/+10We're glad you don't live here too.
  • EddiePotato, on 11/09/2009, -0/+8You mean your faucet uses water, like out the toilet?
  • LonesomeFighter, on 11/09/2009, -0/+8they just drink them through a straw... or with some vodka
  • ceredron, on 11/09/2009, -0/+8KingGorilla, I find that the otter taint of the northwest is cleaner and fresher than the otter taint of the northeast, which has the distinct taste of bitterness and loss at the slaughter of their ancestors. The otters of the middling north is clean and untainted, but the otters there are few and hard to come by, a proud and unyielding taint that feels like a disservice to nature to be licking.
  • EddiePotato, on 11/09/2009, -1/+8They try to make it seem classy through massive marketing, and by charging $3 for a tiny can, but it's just as trashy as the rest.
  • Apex3, on 11/09/2009, -0/+7It's not that popular because not a lot of places sell it. Only popular among us computer nerds.

    I used to buy cases of it at CompUSA when my grocery stores stopped carrying it, then CompUSA stopped, and I moved on.
  • JordanTW90, on 11/09/2009, -6/+13Anyone else surprised to see the south leading the consumption of energy drinks?
  • Jones82, on 11/09/2009, -0/+7Mountain Dew: 55mg in 12 oz
    Red Bull: 80mg in 8.2 oz
  • oo7evan, on 11/09/2009, -0/+7So the above people have apparently drank:

    1. Piss out of a can.
    2. Puke.

  • Jones82, on 11/09/2009, -0/+6"Redbull...... classy.... really???"

    He said classy relative to other energy drinks... have you seen some of the other ones?
  • KingGorilla, on 11/09/2009, -3/+9Cocaine is a helluva drug
  • Jones82, on 11/09/2009, -0/+6Remember: if the taint is brown, drink it down. If the taint is black, send it back
  • lurrch1, on 11/09/2009, -6/+12West Virginia is not part of the South. It's an abomination that was created because it wanted to stay with the Union during the Civil war. That makes it the retarded step-child of the Northeast.
  • captininsanity, on 11/09/2009, -0/+6Great stuff. It needs to get a more widespread distribution. Half the energy drinks you see around only there because they're Coke products.
  • Rell812, on 11/09/2009, -1/+6Energy drinks are such *****.
  • lisaawesome, on 11/09/2009, -1/+6I love putting Bawls into my mouth!
