Do you/would you drink an energy drink to help you maintain your energy levels during a long day at a gaming show or convention? |

No – A good night's sleep and proper nutrition is all you need. I stay away from those things like the plague they are, nothing but empty calories. |

Coffee and anger is all I need. |
Rich Bliss | 26 Sep 2019 10:39 a.m. PST |
I'm with Dynaman. No caffeine, just 8 hours of sleep |

Nope. Never drink the stuff. |

I couldn't get through the con without my TEA! |
Cerdic | 26 Sep 2019 11:48 a.m. PST |
Nah, that stuff's nasty. Coffee and a Cornish Pasty is what you need… |
dapeters | 26 Sep 2019 11:57 a.m. PST |
Coffee til noon, then water until the evening transitioning to beer after dinner. |

Why go to a convention and then sleep 8 hours?! I try to get by on less with help from good old coffee, strong and cold. |

No, I tried the caffeine/sugar combo when I unloaded trucks in the wee hours, long ago. Get to work, fix a cup of coffee (40% creamer, 40% sugar, 20% liquid). Get preped for the the truck while the coffee cools. Slam it down and GO GO GO GO, for about two hours. Then stay groggy and dull witted while my body tried to deal with that travesty. Fun times. |

Energy drinks are nasty. Does Guinness count? Actually, I tend to lose count, but … yeah. fix a cup of coffee (40% creamer, 40% sugar, 20% liquid). Last week I had a waiter ask if I needed room for cream and sugar in my coffee, so in return I asked, "Does your coffee suck?" I don't sleep eight hours, but I do get solid sleep, then hit the gym, shower, and power into the day. |

I drink them when at work. And i drink one on the way to a con. I dont drink them at the con. Since i dont drink coffee or soda i survive on sheer will and water. 8 hours sleep the night before? Don't know what that is like on any night let alone the night before a con. Grimm |
BTCTerrainman | 26 Sep 2019 8:12 p.m. PST |
Nope, but we do drink Body Armor or Gatorade following setup on hot days. Otherwise, just some strong coffee in the booth to keep up the caffeine levels…. |
Oberlindes Sol LIC | 26 Sep 2019 10:46 p.m. PST |
The closest I come to an energy drink is regular Coke (or Mexican Coke) on convention Sunday. I do drink tea all through the convention, and might possibly have coffee, if I'm in a game that's going to run late into the night. I sleep less than 8 hours a night at a convention, whether I'm staying there or not. There's a whole week coming up during which I can sleep 8 hours a night. |
Flashman14 | 27 Sep 2019 12:56 a.m. PST |
I object to the sugar more than the caffeine. |

Caffeine yes, energy drinks no. |
TodCreasey | 27 Sep 2019 7:23 a.m. PST |
Only if I need it to get me though the drive but power naps and Led Zepellin or Iron Maiden work pretty well do as does talkative friends. At the con I take it easy and gets lot of sleep – I am on holiday after all |

Yes. Caffeine and sugar hit help out. Don't worry about the calories, I burn about 3000 a day so I get them where I can and game on! |

I generally find them pretty nasty tasting, but my ex told me about a relative new comet to the area called "Bzng." I've had a few of them when I have been doing messed up hours at my job. I don't anticipate needing any for a convention unless I felt like having one for the drive to or from. |

I will drink coffee and water, the energy drinks have lots of stuff that isn't good for you. |

Prefer diet soda,myself. And likely good-ol' "2 cents plain" too. |
