I like to drink slowly and enjoy also! Although, the shots are better when the weather’s really cold. I wonder when the “truly healthy” shots will catch on to such extremes?

I agree that energy shots don’t taste as well, but they travel better and don’t have to be refrigerated since you can shoot them and be done. I’m an energy drink fanatic-one a day at least! Check out Verve!

i’d rather take the time to enjoy an energy drink, than have a shot of a horrid tasting, wallet exploding energy shot. wheres the fun in that? only shots ive seen about here in western australia is 6 hour annnd BadBoy energy shots. and they’re ICKY!

I agree with the majority here. Shots will never replace energy drinks for me. I get that concentrated caffeine has an appeal, but shots cost more than drinks and I like the taste of energy drinks! There are many very good ones.

I think that the shots are really for a different segment of the “energy culture.” Shots are very instant where an energy drink you can sip on for a while. You know, getting your energy buzz a leisurely fashion. I don’t think energy drinks will be replaced, but I think a lot of people have the idea in their heads that all drinks taste like Red Bull, so if it tastes bad why not get a shot? It’s less to drink.

I agree with Nick on this one. I’ve tried some Energy shots, most taste terrible and cost more than an energy drink and while the kick may be just as good as a decent energy drink, wheres the value really?

I can get a 16 ounce can of Monster or Rockstar as low as 2 bucks (or 1.50 when on sale) and I get a full 16 ounce beverage that packs energy, tastes decent, and is an actual drink. The shots are pounded down and gone in 2 seconds and cost almost double in some cases.

Plus like Evan stated, low carb and sugar free energy drinks are widely available, so the sugar free argument for energy shots doesn’t make a difference.

Energy shots are good for people who like the small size and convenience of them, but for me, one of the best things about energy drinks is the unique taste. I can’t see myself ever being in a situation where a shot is worth paying more for, especially because there are so many sugar-free energy drinks. I do like the great kick of the Rockstar shots though.

I don’t think energy shots will ever replace 8oz. or 16oz. energy drinks for me. If I’m staying up all night gaming having a Cocaine, Bawls, or Monster is like a two-in-on energy drink and soda. Energy shots are too expensive anyway, especially since I don’t mind drinking up to 16oz.
