Caffiene doesn't do it for me anymore, so I've been experimenting with energy drinks. They seem to work better, but generally taste awful (Red Bull is the prime offender).

If you're willing to branch out into other stimulants, I'd strongly recommend Kratom, feel free to ask if you have any questions.

#15mountain dew (regular or code red). caffeine is like a legal performance enhancing drug for coding. Outside of that I try to keep hydrated by drinking lots of water (and keeping a restroom nearby).

Almost none of the energy drinks have enough of their extra ingredients to actually do anything... ginseng and taurine can be stimulating, but you need to take a lot more than they put in Red Bull. If you're willing to branch out into other stimulants, I'd strongly recommend Kratom, feel free to ask if you have any questions.

Mountain Dew is probably one of the worst things you can put into your body that comes in a can and can be bought under the age of 18.

Taurine a stimulant? I thought that's a relaxing aminoacid they put there so you won't get too nervous with all that caffeine.
