Are you addicted to energy drinks?

What energy drink do you like best?

Are you addicted to energy drinks?

I am. My company distributes Monster drinks and I get free drinks almost every morning before I hit the road in my beer truck. My favorite is the original green Monster, although I love Red Bull. Especially if it's mixed with some Jagermeister. I drink a Monster every morning before I leave the house. It's my "morning coffee", since I detest the taste of actual coffee.

Red bull gives you wings. 😐

Beer truck? Do you have a CDL?

Or is it something smaller?

Cocaine!

Yes, I have my Class A CDL. I drive a beer truck for Anheuser-Busch.

I've never seen it here in Texas. Yet, I've heard of it. Is it good?

Energy drinks, blech. The only one I can tolerate the taste of is those Java Monsters, because they taste like coffee. Though regular coffee is cheaper and neither give me any energy so there's little point in buying an energy drink.

I dunno where you live, but here in Texas, it's pretty easy to get if you are hired on with a company that will let you use one of their combination trucks to take your road test in.

You have to take 2 tests: A written test and a road test. The written test is the real b*tch here. I had to take my written test 4 damn times before I passed. The road test was cake. All you need to remember is to watch your mirrors and take wide turns. I make $700 a week now. It's not bad money.

how can it be Gassy or sweet for that matter?

We also distribute Java Monsters. Personally, I don't like them because I'm just not a coffee drinker. I especially despise Starbucks. 😛

What kind of hours do you work? Are you gone for a few days or is a 9 to 5'er?

Yeah, I need to find a company willing to do some training. I've got some friends with a truck, but they don't trust me. YET.

I work 5 days a week, and get every weekend off. I have to be at work every morning by 6:15 a.m. for morning meeting. I usually have a helper, but if I don't, it's no skin off of my nuts. The only holidays I have off, however, are Thanksgiving and X-Mas.

Also, my loads are usually under 800 cases of beer. It might sound like a lot, but after you gain some muscle from this job, and you WILL, it gets easier.

I honestly don't have the funds to build up an addiction, they're freakin' expensive compared to unhealthy soda.

I agree. I guess that I'm unlucky enough to have a free outlet for this shit. droolio

I'm actually not too big on just coffee (I prefer tea) 😛

Seriously, Java Monsters are like $3 per can. That's a lot ermm

I get them occasionally while at work and that's it.

Bottles of water also seem to be a little bit off the price range as well... Why...?

I drink tap water. F*ck it, I say.
