Energy Drinks

Okay.... Lame but quick question.... Do they have energy drinks in Colombia... Like Monster, Full Throttle, Red Bull....

I'm asking, because I'm going to need one as soon as I drop off my luggage... Just found out that I get into Pereira at 11:00am on Sunday Morning, but I have to drive back to Bogota for an 8am appointment at the Embassy....

.5 liters of aguardente should do it.

Yes... Unfortunately, I'm sure that would not help me.... All aguardiente would do is give me heartburn and then put me to sleep on the road!....

Yeah, those crass, materialistic, consumption-worshipping Colombians have it all.

;-)

I think Red Bull is 5000 pesos for a can.

Take 2 aspirins with a tinto. That should kick you into the next gear.

Just don't buy your Red Bulls at Cafe Del Mar...we had 4 shots of Vodka and three cans of Red Bull...bill was like 60 dollars US!

we have red bull and another one similar but can't remember the name someone told me it's better than red bull, also i saw few more in exito.

Maybe I'll just bring a couple with me... They're thin enough to fit in my hand bag!... A 4 pack and I'll be set! Thanks

I remember now the name of the drink is Peak

carol302 says on Sep 5, 2007, 12:57:

two aspirins and one coke. That will do it.

Dude - Stick with Red Bull there. You can get it at any open grocery store or supermercado. And yes, they can get expensive if bought at bars and clubs.

I tried one non-Red Bull brand this past wkd and it tasted horrible. I forget the name. Stick with what you know.

CristalM says on Sep 5, 2007, 17:02:

They are 6000 at our little corner store. My son likes it and he is fine the colombian substitute that is much cheaper. Guess you just have to try it. Be aware, RB in the airport is over 8000.

Don't carry on with you-if more than 30z out it goes-happened to my daughter first of august.

Was not Coca Sek pulled-something about too much coca leaf in the drink and a court ruling that it could only be sold to some Indian tribes? Can't remember seeing it sold in Bogotá

msaucey says on Sep 12, 2007, 11:10:

So, do you all think Coca Sek would come up on a drug test? Gator, I just looked it up, it looks like they started pulling it off the main supermarkets in May 2007, but they're available at health food locations... :-)
