I drink a lot of energy drinks and dont have the shaky problem however the most well formulated drink that uses vitamians instead of caffine is called 5hr energy. It a little more expensive but its good stuff. Also I like Rockstar alot its very well made.

I actually like the lower-carb energy drinks. I don't like sugar spikes/crashes.

I spilled some on my leg once and I was hopping around like a fart in a frying pan all over the place!
Never did try drinking any boiling water though. Seems like you'd have to have a pretty tough digestive system to go that route.
Hoo boy, isn't that the everlovin' truth!

Most of the energy drinks get me more hopped up than coffee.
A quick recommendation. If you're looking for a pick-me-up, but you're trying to shake the jitters, check out a tea called Yerba Mate. If you look at most energy drinks and concoctions of that sort, you'll actually see this listed among the ingredients. It's similar to caffeine, but does not have a lot of the same problems.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yerba_mate
A little exerpt:
"From reports of personal experience with mate, its physiological effects are similar to (yet distinct from) more widespread caffeinated beverages like coffee, tea, or guarana drinks. Users report a mental state of wakefulness, focus and alertness reminiscent of most stimulants, but often remark on mate's unique lack of the negative effects typically created by other such compounds, such as anxiety, diarrhoea, "jitteriness", and heart palpitations.
Reasons for mate's unique physiological attributes are beginning to emerge in scientific research. Studies of mate, though very limited, have shown preliminary evidence that the mate xanthine cocktail is different from other plants containing caffeine most significantly in its effects on muscle tissue, as opposed to those on the central nervous system, which are similar to those of other natural stimulants. Mate has been shown to have a relaxing effect on smooth muscle tissue, and a stimulating effect on myocardial (heart) tissue."

I must admit I shouldn't drink it(coffee) before shooting,last time I was prone with my Savage 7mm mag I had a hard time with the scope "bouncing" because of my heartbeat.Not being too used to shooting with a scope it seems every little movement makes it hard to keep the crosshairs from bouncing around.Add the fact that I smoke cigs.
I drink colada's almost everyday,drinking a batch I just made now lol!.Generally after smoking a cig I need to wait a few minutes to let myself calm down a bit.Apricot juice,I've found that it tends to have a calming effect so often I drink that to counteract caffine and cigs...and stress.
