I don't drink it that often but when I do holy sh*t it's like rocket fuel. Does anyone know where I can get bulk pack from ? It's expensive at £1.60 a can.

    i have started getting the boots meal deal for lunch....you know....snadwich, snack and drink for £3.....

    I get either a big sugar free bull or a relentless as the drink and take them home :oops:

    Find someone who's sponsored by them and then get a cheap tray from them. I paid £5 for my last tray of RockStar. (Tray = 24 cans)

    That's even worse for you than the full fat stuff!!

    The artificial sweetener that they use (aspartame) contains a chemical called phenyl alinine. It's one of the deadliest nerve agents known to man, and it's actually banned for use in warfare under the Geneva Convention...

    Try going to costco, i think it costs £20 to become a member but they sell everything food and drink related plus loads more, like cheap waterproofs, fleeces etc.

    i bet they've got rockstar, relentless etc for bargain prices.... :D

    true.....but in fairness,

    chicken contains about 1000mg phenylalanine per 3oz compared to up to 85mg from the asparatame used to sweeten 8oz of soft drinks.

    Erm, phenylalanine is a natural amino acid, found in all proteins. It is not a "nerve agent", deadly or otherwise, and certainly isn't banned by the Geneva Convention, in fact as an essential amino acid is a requirement for good nutrition.

    Where do you get this stuff from?!

    I prefer it to the full sugar red bull, as it doesn't taste as 'thick' or something.

    If god gives you lemons, then FIND A NEW GOD!!!! :lol:

    Is powerade a good energy drink? It doesn't seem to give as much as a boost as red bull. (The Co-op and Tesco where I live won't even sell Red bull to anyone under a certain age)

    Monster is on our local sainsbury's for £1.15 now. I'm so happy me and 'the wife' discovered it in america, came in very useful for driving vegas to san francisco.

    It's not been over here long you should be able to get in bulk sooner or later, I can't wait for them to bring over Monster Assault which comes in a camo coloured can and turns your wee orange :shock: :D
