What does everyone use for energy and staying awake? I was drinking coffee, then went to Monster…now, I’m drinking Rockstar’s. My hubby saw the trash can in our room was filled with energy drink cans, and said I looked desperate. 😉

Just wondering what everyone uses to keep going through those late nights of studying. I’m currently studying for the AUD section.

Mainly coffee for breakfast. If I need an afternoon pick me up I drink Starbucks Doubleshot Espresso (not the energy drinks). But I am thinking of purchasing those Stok shots on Amazon if I need the extra boost.

B: 7/30/16
A:TBD
R:TBD

Thanks for the suggestions. I don't know that I can do the Kodiak, but I will try Xyience. I go in between the energy drinks and Doubleshots.

Guayaki Yerba Mate (available at Whole Foods) always helped me to stay focused.

Metropolis coffee… it's amazing.

Monster Ultra-Red, White, or Blue during study sessions, Rockstar Fruit Punch during review and always a regular Rockstar just before the test on test day. Sometimes during study sessions I would grab a Rockstar Fruit Punch or just a regular Rockstar, but I would always have a regular Rockstar just before the test. It become a sort-of superstition on test day. It always worked though. Maybe it was the real sugar that gave me a boost?

FAR - 81 1st attempt
AUD - 91 1st attempt
REG - 93 1st attempt
BEC- 86 1st attempt

@makiu – I will definitely try that lineup.

@OKCalltheway I have had some success with the Monster Ultra Red and Blue, and the Rockstar has been awesome. I was just a bit worried with all of the caffeine I'd croak over before ever becoming a CPA. I will try incorporating my energy drinks into my study routine as well.

@WannabeaCPAin2015 and @FIFOisbetterthanLIFO – I ordered a case of some organic energy drinks last night, but I will check those out too. I saw Whole Foods sells Scheckter's organic energy drinks. Any good?

Thank you all for the suggestions…much appreciated!

[EuroAddict]

I stay away from the energy drinks. No way are any of them good for you. Just find a time of day when you're most focused. For me it's early morning. Get the studying out of the way.

My drink of choice is Bourbon 🙂

P.S. Fellow Texan here.
