I may not have much energy sometimes, but what I have is all mine.

Coffee vs. Red Bull: Nutrients, Caffeine, and Recommendation

I drank a Red Bull a long time ago and didn’t like the way it made me feel. I love the smell of coffee but can’t stand the taste of it, regardless of how much cream and sugar I put in it. I have drank one cup of coffee in my life and had to force myself to finish it, just so I could say I did it. I prefer a couple of 200 mg caffeine 5 Hour Energy shots for my 400 mg of caffeine - one when I get up and one in mid-afternoon. I rarely have a soft drink - don’t want all that acidity.
