I despise monster. It's too sweet and sickly.
Red Bull is alright and seems to have the desired effect for me (monster does too but I'd rather drink piss)
[QUOTE=loopoo;52622961]man people that do this are weird. 2 is alright, but I knew people who'd down 3 or 4 a day. it was pretty fucking mindboggling. they'd do it every day without fail, blowing all their cash on monster instead of lunch.[/QUOTE]
I lived for a year with people like this at Uni. I swear their piss was burning through the Toilet Bowl.
only reason I don't knock back energy drinks is because they're so insanely packed with sugar. would rather just drink coffee tbh and not end up being a fatass cause of the fact I drink 200g worth of sugar a day. and because coffee is easier to drink and not overdo caffeine (turns me into a jittery mess if I have energy drinks)
Energy drinks are generally gross.

I'm glad I got off them when I did. It was more of a worry of what it was doing to my teeth rather than my insides, but I was better off without them.
iirc caffeine also prevents vitamin uptake, so if you're constantly chugging that shit, your already shit diet is made worse by the fact you're not absorbing as much vitamins / minerals as you can.

Wait does it? I thought I had a good deal going with coffee but wow, think of all those lost minerals.

I think I read somewhere that coffee completely destroys your ability to take in Iron for like an hour after you drink it. But i'm probably wrong.
On the subject the only energy drink I like is that Monster one in the yellow can with Doctor on it. Mostly because it doesn't taste like an energy drink.

yeah it's probably not the most important thing in the world, but it's worth thinking about. I drink coffee in the morning so it's not a big deal, but people who drink the stuff constantly are probably really fucking up how much vitamins they get from food.

a real gentleman's beverage. if a young lady spots you supping on this you've got yourself a friend 'til the end.
my sister had one of those in the fridge once and i nicked it and drank it without asking. tasted like piss and i confessed the next day and told her i'd buy her a new one, but she said "nah don't they taste like piss"
completely ruined the enjoyment of stealing her shit cause i didn't even get the satisfaction of enjoying it. had to forcefully drink it since i felt bad for taking it and didn't wanna waste it. gross.
I only drink tea and coffee. I'm probably deficient in all the minerals.

If this is true it might explain why I'd randomly pass out like three times a week in sixth form.
try the blood orange one
i only really have energy drinks when im at uni because i get way too many meal deals
i like any fruit flavored ones tbh, i can't fucking stand the original flavours, they're so sickly and horrible
don't think there's a feeling that can beat the one you get after coming home from the shops with a week's worth of shopping, knowing you're gonna be eating like a king for the next week (or 3 days if you're a fat fuck with little to no self restraint).
prawn jalfrezi tonight, sausages and eggs tomorrow for breakfast, turkey sandwiches for days, chicken and spinach cream pasta. phwoar.

These aren't bad but they are fucking expensive and why the fuck is there a film lid on top for a can, feels pretentious to be fair.
it's cause of those people that are like "eww rats have pissed all over the top of that can in the warehouse that's dirty" which probs doesn't happen that often
i enjoy the extra flavour

wit? I've never actually had anyone tell me this, is this a thing?
i don't understand monster energy, it sort of feels like drinking corrosive syrup

I dunno how much truth there is to it but back when I was in high school they showed us how to wash cans because of rats.
