Well with my busy schedule now these days I get maybe 2-3 hours sleep a night school all day then work at night and when I'm not working I haft to work out and I have no choice but to invest lots of money into energy drinks. I drink so many amp's/monsters a day that I'm starting to get severe headaches from it. But now its like I can't function without them. I need some kinda of alternative but coffee just doesn't give me the power I require. Halp!

Your body has probably built a ridiculous tolerance to caffeine... you really have no choice but to try and go through withdrawal if you want those headaches to stop, and then start drinking it in more healthy levels. Those things are horrible for your heart... my friend spent an entire summer drinking multiple red bulls a day, and he was diagnosed with heart palpitations last September. A lot of the other chemicals they put in those things aren't very well tested, and caffeine itself isn't that great for you.

I guess the only "strong" alternatives are caffeine pills, but I wouldn't recommend those either.

Limit yourself to 3 can's a day tops, or yo're going to have some serious health problems in about a year.

I used to drink a shitload of Full Throttle black and Full Throttle Peach because they were delicious, but once my hands started becoming really shakey and fidigty all the time because of them I had to stop drinking it. Plus they're, ya know, pretty bad for you anyway. If you need energy drinks or whatever, just take those 5-hour-energy shots. They arn't loaded with sugar guarana or caffeine and work about 10x better.

Cut that shit asap, seriously. Energy drinks are HORRIBLE for you. That, and there's no real reason to drink them as "energy drinks" if you're eating properly. Wake up with a good breakfast and you'll be energized for most of the day so long as you keep having eating meals every few hours.
