Burning the Redbull

phrase:
Synonymous to "burning the midnight oil," but coined at the turn of the 21st century in response to the use of said drink during late nights for increased stamina (both physical and mental)

Becca: I stayed up all night doing what I do best--studying human anatomy.
Trent: Wow, you were burning the midnight oil.
Becca: No, I was actually burning the Redbull. It kept me fired up long enough to outlast what I was studying.
Trent: Even so, it still seems like you suck at it. You can barely name anything above the head!
Becca: Yea, I probably do, but at least it's fun!
