I am addicted to V energy drinks. I used to drink around 3 small cans a day, sometimes more. The average cost for a 250ml can is around $2.80, quite expensive really for such a small can.
As to the taste, I have to perfectly honest, I prefer V green, its my ultimate favorite. V sugarless to me is much the same just in a silver can. Smile Icon
As for an energy buzz, I do not really feel it does anything different for me. Its just something to quench the thirst, I do not feel anymore alert, aware or better able to concentrate after drinking.
I would definitely recommend following the recommendations on the cans as far as how much you should consume, as I have found to much can cause stomach cramps and racing heart :-(

I hate to say it but i am a sugar free V junkie! I find that it gives me that mid afternoon boost i am after. I'm a mum of two who studies full-time and works part time so energy is something that unfortunately comes in the form of caffeine. This doesn't have the same taste as the original V taste, but for me having no sugar seems to suit my lifestyle better.

I really like the small cans, they are a handy size to have in the fridge and they give you that boost without needing to drink 1/2 a litre (surely that cannot be good for you!) The downfall is the cost, its not a cheap habit to form, but it is a hard one to break - watch out V is addictive!

I am a energy drink junky and have at least one if not two every day , normally a green V . So when i saw a sugar free energy drink i thought best i give it a go it might even be good for me . Well it tasted so bad , buy it again no way , value for money due to the taste not worth spending my hard earned money on . But the appeal was great (before i tasted it) as it was very well marketed in a great looking can, sugar free and from a great company , as i really rate the green bottled V . So in summary the sugar free V off the shopping list and straight back to the trusty green bottle .

Sadly I didnt like this product give me the real v any day. I didnt like the taste. The packaging is great the price is great but it just isnt my thing. It is a great product for people who are addicted to v and are trying to wean themselves off it or for people who are trying to watch there sugar intake.

Now, I've tried to get into these Guarana based energy boosting drinks, and so far no luck. They either leave me feeling lethargic (the opposite effect, I'm sure), or the taste of either the Guarana or something else in the drink leaves me feeling nauseous.

Sadly, the latter was the case with this particular drink.

I opened the bottle to a healthy fizzing sound as the seal was broken, pity it seemed to be all noise. Altho it was cold, the liquid that touched my tongue was far from fizzy. There was plenty of what I am assuming was citrus flavouring, but that did little to hide a decidedly bitter back-taste, presumably from the Guarana. With my second mouthful, I had the strangest feeling of having maybe stumbled on some form of liquid sherbet. My tongue tingled and the feeling carried down my throat as the fluid made its way down. VERY peculiar.

Needless to say, I really don't think I'll be bothering with this beverage again.

I like it & the green "V" but not too keen on the black or reds taste.

I think its great, Black V is horrible, but like the last comment its a good alternatvie to sugar, you only get lethargic if you are addicted to the stuff including coffee, here's a hint, drink more water.

well as im a diabetic its grt to see drinks like this for us,our money is just as important as those ppl without diabeties

Comment #100 - Posted by: Anonymous

I find I get the same lethargic and mildy nauseous result with these sorts of drinks... Red Bulls, V, Lift, coffee, etc. Red Bulls and V effectively put me to sleep on the road.. pft!.
However, I do approve of dropping the sugar from any drink like this.

I liked sugar free V better than the normal one. it helps when you get a fresh one without a broken seal for a start. I never liked V until sugar free came out (though the black V is even better)
