What's your favorite Energy Drink?!

Monster has twice the content of Red Bull for the same price

Except I was at Sam's Club today, and bought a 24 pack for 25 dollars. W3rd!

Monster hypes me for everything. Shred, lecture, picking up women.

Even looks cooler.

Monster>Red Bull

I <3 Monster Energy drinks!

2x the Taurine

The caffeine is nearly insignificant. In Red Bull, it's less than 1 cup of coffee. In Monster, it's about 1 and 2/3 cups of coffee

Rockstar is sooo much better than monster. Monster is gross, utterly and competely disgustro. Plus, rockstar makes you better at footbag. I make sure to drink them at every tourney.

Except Monster is Vegan friendly, therefore I don't have to worry about the taurine coming from animals.

Not to mention, when I called customer service the people were sooo cool

. They sent me coupons because I was like: You guys are awesome for having vegan stuff! I talked with Maria, the lady helping me who sounded cute and we talked about it. She was a vegan for awhile and now is a veggie. So if we had met in person, she would be my lover because she's such a cool cat.

See dude, Monster Energy kicks ass

for about 5 days so far i have promised myself to try at least one new energy drink flavor every day. i have tried every Monster...honestly i think they are disgusting. if i had to pick one i think it would be Monster Assault. taste like orange soda

. i tried another today...it was called...Lost or something? definatley one of my favorites. i tried full throttle fury as well, it tastes like orange soda. and of course i have had red bull, its too strong for my liking. if you go to bevnet.com they have about a million different energy drinks listed, even the ones that are discontinued

I think the sugar content is the worrying thing. The maximum daily recommend intake of refined sugar is 40g although many people argue that we should have less. Red Bull has 27g in it per can - so if you have 2 a day you're having too much (or if you have a red bull and basically any processed food in a day you're pushing the limits).

Taurine has not been shown to give you more energy. Therefore double the taurine will not give you more energy.

Not to mention the water lost because of diuretics...

Stick to water people.

Although Taurine does Not give you energy.... "It is a key ingredient of bile, which in turn is needed for fat digestion, absorption of fat-soluble vitamins as well as the control of cholesterol serum levels in the body. (It is incorporated in the bile acid chenodeoxychloic acid, which emulsify the dietary fats) This nutrient is also used in the proper use of potassium, calcium as well as sodium in the body, and for maintaining cell membrane integrity. It is thought to be helpful with anxiety, hyperactivity, poor brain function and epilepsy as well as hydrating the brain. Taurine, together with zinc is also required for proper eye health and vision" (http://www.anyvitamins.com/taurine-info.htm)

Energy drinks also contain vitamins, minerals, and extracts from plants, such as Ginko, Guarana, and Milk Thistle. Also, Almost every energy drink has a low/no-sugar version.

That being said... Rockstar JUICED is by far my favorite, with No Fear coming in second (because it tastes just as gross as regular rockstar).

Ha, I work in a resturant and a bunch of cooks always have energy drinks. One said this Red Line stuff really gets your heart going. I'm not a big fan of E drinks, just dosn't seem.... that natural.

I was playing at the beach in New York and these babes came up and gave me a case of TAB Energy. At first it was pretty gross, but then I kinda liked it. And now I really like it. But my mom says it's like really bad for you and shit and she won't let me drink it anymore.

So it was fun while it lasted. I never really busted fat with it or anything. Idk. Just eat a bannana or something.

Well to any favoring Monster...Take note that the can has 2...NOT 1...but 2 servings...

Also, while not into the energy drink stuff, certain friends are. Those certain friends prefer the Extasy or something like that energy drink, which was accordingly patented by some Russian programmer (explains why all the Russian OTBs here in Brooklyn drink it...) who had nothing to do and wanted to stay awake and mixed random large amounts of caffiene-based stuff together and added water. As a certain friend noticed, the reason it tends to work is because there's twice as much of Taurine/Guaranamine that most drinks have...which produces strangely powerful effects. I heard that it tastes like shit though. Monster does too.

If you want your caffiene hit, take those 500-1000mg caffiene pills instead. They are far cheaper. Or learn not to depends on caffiene and use force-of-will to stay awake when necessary.
