Its 3 in the morning and you have been trying to finish a project you started 7 last morning. You feel your eyes drooping, body shutting down and your mind numb. You head to your fridge. What will you choose to drink?
I personally drink either rockstar energy drink (when in stock) or mountain dew. Post your fave late night fix.

Oh, I wish I could use energy drinks. Too much caffeine makes me really, really sick. I stick to coffee, tea, or peppermint hot chocolate - enough to wake me up without making me sick to my stomach.

Usually either coffee or tea. Whatever is around/ in the mood to drink at the time.

Pure unadulterated sugar. Usually.
Tim Horton's french vanilla cappuccino. I will stay up all night if I have just ONE medium of those! And without the weird effects I normally get from either sugar or caffeine alone. WEEEEIRD

Chocolate covered coffee beans.
Be careful with those though, because it's easy to eat around 40 coffee beans. And once that happens, there's NO way you're getting to sleep.

Mostly Pepsi, but Propel works. Frankly water works just as well for me. I think i'm immune to caffeine.

I don't take pick me ups. I sleep. Doesn't mess with melatonin levels or general health.

The funny thing is, I usually wear my Pepsi hat to work, and I can't stand the taste of Coke, so I down Pepsi and Gatorade as often as possible. (Gatorade being a Pepsi product as opposed to Coke's version, Powerade).

yes Hikosewhatchamacallit i did think that might be what this coloumn was about but on the actual topic at hand, for those of u who don't mind a little crazy in ur nite times i suggest a 2-3km run as a great pick me up in those oh so pesky early morning hrs. No really im serious if theres anyone from paradise in the society try runnin around topsail pond at 3am
P.S. I do realize the irony of there being a body of water called topsail pond in the town of paradise

Anyone who is into energy drinks, you should totally try either Monster, or Lost. They're by far my two favourite ones, way better than Red Bull or Rock star or any of that other crap.

Ok now let me just check this again...
Did I really just read an entire thread, on a "geek forum", about pickups...and not once did anyone mention Jolt? Come on people, it's the origional and by far the greatest.
Although things did get a little iffy at Wintereenmas after the second 700ml can. I don't remember playing much game that night, mostly just bounced and vibrated while I walked around watching others play the stuff we brought and played with my zapper.
On a totally unrelated note, does anyone have either a modded PS2 or a Swap Magic/SlideCard for a PS2 that they can bring to of lend us for the game night tomorrow night? I've got a little something that I think might be well received but it's a burn so it's useless without a modded system.
