Get the sugar free monster, the blue one. The sugar will make you crash.

Monster will last longer than coffee. The orange juice and alfalfa will give you a stomach ache.

Amp is okay, but is more caffeine-sugar oriented than the monster.

If you go buy the monster or whatever, get one of those 1.5 liter things of water, also, and follow the drink up with the water. You'll be up as long as you want.

Stay away from Red Bull. It does weird things to your blood and can possibly cause a stroke - even at your age...

I voted Monster. Prefer the green over the blue, though, just on taste. Never thought about the crash from the sugar.

Espresso man, that's the stuff. Depending on your current caffeine tolerance levels, 8 shots or so will probably get you through an all-nighter. It may also make you vomit, and twitch a lot.

Coffee has a much better track record... I don't trust all those weird energy drinks with the strange ingredients.

I was at a bar and a lady talked me into doing the red bull vodka thing... strange buzz... never again.

Cuban coffee.

About two ounces every 3 hours will not only keep you alive, it will get a departed person's heart beating again provided they've only been dead two or three days.

Seriously good stuff.

Funny thing was she and the bartender were doing them (red bull & vodka) and I (knowing the bartender) asked WTF are you guys drinking?

Then they insisted I try it and bought me a couple... (well, it would have been rude to decline their hospitality right?)

I then woke up in a hotel bathtub filled with ice and found this note...

My standard approach was to vow to write the paper (study for the exam, whatever) in the morning when I felt fresh. But then, hey, I have a free evening. I'd then go to a bar until midnight, wake up at noon and then scramble (or not).

Oh yeah, Levi. It's probably too late, but I just wanted to mention that I hope you use better grammar and punctuation when you do finally write those essays. Where in the hell did you find that apostrophe?

Coffee is my beverage of choice. But I understand Green tea has more caffeine.
