I drink them like crazy. Best one for taste is NOS. If you want fewer calories go with Kickstart from Pepsi. Less caffeine, but great. Especially the coconut mango. That shi is gold.

This is coming from a guy who has heart problems, and was one of those people who would drink so many I thought I was having a heart attack and had to go to the hospital.

There seems to be two distinct types of flavour when it comes to energy drinks. Red Bull and Monster have a smooth bubblegum-like flavour, while Rockstar, Relentless etc have a sharper, tangier sweetness to them.

I'd suggest having one of each in a smaller quantity and deciding which you like best. I generally go for the latter.

I go for amp, 1 or 2 a month, because it's got a buzz in it and some shit you're going to need every now and then. I don't like the horrifying green dye though.
Rockstar also has a rough buzz and is tasty.
Nos is pretty fucking bad and does not live up to advertisement.
Monster is comparable to water and not worth $2-$2.50.
5 Hour energy does literally fucking nothing.
Starbucks products are tasty as fuck (carrageenan probably) but too pricy.
Mountain dew kickstart is pretty bad tasting and does nothing.

If you're feeling extremely brave, get a 4 pack of yellow hornet pills and eat NO MORE THAN ONE. Eat a fucking meal first, and applg deodorant, these things will fuck your world up for the first 8 pills.

Caffeine is a diuretic, drink more water with them(or in general). If that doesn't help maybe, avoid them to be safe. Sorry dude.

Another question: I love the taste of energy drinks(Full throttle, Rockstar, Crunk, Redbull). They all have an edgy tang or zing that regular soda doesn't. I'm not picky.
However, Monster absolutely DISGUSTS me. It tastes saccharin sweet, no complex fruit flavor, just nauseating sweetness that slithers down your gullet. I see people pounding them down happily on campus at every turn. I just can't.
If you get dollar store energy drinks, they'll either be Redbull clones or Monster clones and half the time I waste a dollar with a monster clone that I can't even get halfway through.

Am I missing something? What does Monster taste like to you?

It doesnt happen with coffee or tea though, just energy drinks. Or maybe there is not enough caffeine in coffee and tea for me to notice? Thanks for the input though.

You will be fine. I drank 3-4 energy drinks a day for a week and a half straight with random shots of coffee. Had heart pain every now and then but came out fine. Also don't drink energy drinks anymore. Feel 100% better without caffeine. Sleep schedule is better, and I don't feel fatigued.

If you're used to caffeine and are looking for a buzz, go for the coffee based ones, like java monster. They have the most caffeine. As far as the others, NOS and rockstar are pretty high for caffeine content. Red bull is midpack. Regular monster is fairly low in caffeine compared to others, but you can get a can the size of an oil drum.

You'd be insane to begin a potentially new and additional addiction. If this drug becomes your "drug of choice" it's a seriously bad one.

They don't merely contain lots of sucrose sugar that would be bad enough in large quantities, they contain fructose from GMO corn. Ever see what GMO does to rats? Imagine all the people who've been addicted to this stuff for years and the severe brain-damage it has done.

Best to get addicted to water-cooked vegetables. The nutrients in them allows for the production of endorphins (serotonin, dopamine and others). Raw may have more nutrients, but cooking leaches all the partially formed proteins and makes it easier to absorb nutrients in the small intestine. It takes a lot of energy to break down uncooked food. Raw is another stupid fad, for science- and common-sense-deprived people.
