I'm pretty addicted to energy drinks, have been drinking them pretty often for years now to the point where I've built up a tolerance to them. They still gently caress me up, but I don't get giddy anymore. I'm also into finding new (sometimes white-) brands and see what spin they put in on it. Most of the time it's a worse piss-flavor version of Red Bull. Red Bull   The piss-gold standard, the most pure distilled taste of energy drink. It's an inscrutable flavor, but I think I've landed on sort of fruity battery acid. Decent carbonation and the body isn't too syrupy. Piss-gold in color. Best served chilled. loving expensive. Four lightnings out of five. Monster Energy Green  The gamer favorite. It has a darker, less sour taste than Red Bull. Where Red Bull is associated with XXXtreme sports midlife crisis startup CEOs, Monster is forever stained with the mud of super hardcore gamers. Take your pick. Decent carbonation, heavier body, honey colored. Three lightnings out of five. Burn  An interesting take on the energy drink flavor - it sets itself apart by being much fruitier, with sharp tangs of pineapple. It's a thick swallow, though, even stickier than Monster, and doesn't quench thirst - like they make these fuckers with sea water or something. Slightly higher carbonation, piss yellow hue. Three lightnings out of five, definitely more of a dessert experience. Coca-Cola Energy  loving vile. It tastes like Coke laced with chemical cherry - which I thought was a patented evil from the mind of one Dr Pepper. The energy tang does not mix well with the classic Coke taste, like they just took Coke and dumped off-brand energy drink into the vat. Lighter carbonation, lighter thinner body, coke-brown color. Two lightnings out of five. These are just a few off the top of my head. I thought about collecting a can of every kind of energy drink I've ever had, but then I realize I have to work towards not being a loving idiot. What energy drinks are you sipping on, goons?

the non-carbonated rockstar orangeade/lemonades are my go-to when i want to avoid a caffeine withdrawal headache. they're usually 2/$3 at most, are chuggable and they don't make me feel gross after

I get these generic Red Bulls called Red Thunder from Aldi, usually the sugar free kind. They don't taste great but they do the job when I need to stay up a bit later on a Friday night. Have you tried those 5 Hour Energy drinks? They're small in volume but high in potency--I'd chug one when I had to do a long drive at night. I ended up staying up all night after drinking one and playing Fallout New Vegas when it came out. Use with caution!

Tea and energy they call it.

"The FDA says it's received reports of 13 deaths over the last four years citing 5-Hour Energy as a potential cause. And it's not just deaths: Since 2009, the drink has been mentioned in 92 "adverse event" filings with the FDA, 33 of which involved serious or life-threatening injuries like heart attacks." That's an interesting fact and from 2012, so may well be even more reported dangers in the past decade! There was also this drink called 4 Loko, which was alcoholic and energy drink combined but I think they got taken off the market for health reasons.

I can only drink half of a five hour energy or I don't feel well.

you're going to die of heart attack while your urethra is getting shredded by kidney stones fyi anyway, there's only one true energy drink  wake up, hit the gym, shower, go to the DFAC, slam down some omelets and 1-2 rip its, you're good to go for another beautiful day in Afghanistan

I used to take my Adderall with a jolt cola every morning in high school (the real jolt that was cola flavored) but as an adult I dropped caffeine because with rx amphetamines it's kinda unnecessary. What I'm saying is, do speed.

beer gas canister posted:Rockstar has the worst flavor hands down I find Rockstar's flavor comparable to Red Bull. It creeps up there in terms of tang, but doesn't quite hit the levels of piss from the bull. The apple and sourberry flavors can gently caress right off though.

Ah yes, that's probably my favorite out of the Monster cans. Monster Assault (Red)  The most palatable of the Monster carbonated line, discounting taste in video games. The flavor is a classic coke taste, tinged with a soft piss tang just so you know you're getting energized. Decent carbonation, body more on the syrupy side with a reddish-brown color profile. Definitely a four out of five lightnings. Also, their official blurb for Monster Assault is so stupidly corpo-non-commital that I can't help but find it hilarious. Monster Assault marketing team posted:At Monster we don’t get too hung up on politics. We’re not for “the War”, against “the War” or any war for that matter. I'm a little bit country - well I'm a little bit rock'n'roll!

There was some stuff like this we had called Krunk Juice, that was like a whole night out in a can. At loads of clubs in Brighton they try and push this energy drink called Pussy, and it's probably the best tasting of all of them, but I just think it's such a stupid name I can't really get behind it. The design is all artsy too, so it's not like they're going for toilet humour, but it also doesn't have a cat on it so.... Wtf

One of the managers at my work has two tattoos. The first is the logo for emo band All Time Low. The second is the Monster logo. He drinks six of them a day and I don’t think he has had a single sip of water in at least fifteen years. I don’t understand how he is still alive.

Someone mentioned Jolt which made me think of Surge! It's probably been a decade or two since I tasted one, but iirc, it was kind of Mountain Dewy. Not sure how it would compare to the modern energy drinks of today, though.

Bang is the best energy drink. Especially the piña colada flavor which for some reason i can never find. The rainbow unicorn flavor is absolutely disgusting though, it tastes exactly like some antibiotic i had to take as a kid. But otherwise it's fine. Blue razz, power punch, sour heads are all solid flavors. Edit i also love the peach nectarine flavor red bull but it has sugar so i don't drink it often.

 Bang has like 100 flavors and all of them that I've tried are gross but this one is really good IMO, tastes like cream soda. The people I have intrigued by this comparison have came back to me and said it was gross and not cream soday at all so YMMV e: ^^ Bang bros
