If by 'the shit' you mean 'tasted like shit', then yes!
Sorry, I really don't understand the new worldwide addiction to energy drinks. And I'm someone who gets tired very often and could definitely use a boost, especially when I have to drag my ass out of bed to work early in the morning. ('Before lunchtime' counts as 'early' to me.) I've tasted Red Bull and Rockstar but never drunk a whole one on my own. I used to occasionally drink Mountain Dew on my lunch/dinner breaks when I was working over the holidays at the store until 2am, but I don't like how that tastes either and it made me shaky and it just wasn't worth the trouble and terrible taste to stay awake. I just recite things in my head to keep me awake.
Boything used to have a bit of a caffeine addiction and would get headachy, cranky, and sick if he went more than a day or two without any, but he isn't anywhere near that bad anymore since he's made himself stop. Mostly because we can't afford to keep his addiction fed, considering he could go through an entire case of soda in two days. Before we were together, he used to have two energy drinks and a fuckton of soda a day.
I just don't get it. But that might be me.
