Well, i have declared to myself that i am addicted to that yummy stuff. I drink about 30 fl oz. every day and sometimes every other day. I know this is not something to be proud of or a good thing but its true. Before school in the morning my bus stop is near a gas station, so i walk the 50 yards and grab a good 28 fl oz. monster before school. But the thing is, they dont even give me energy! They somehow relax me in a way. But I guess it is better then smoking. I guess im an average teen drinking that stuff all the time. lol i hate all of them except the green, red, and orange ones.
I am so addicted to the stuff that my computer screen, is monster. I have about 40 cans laying in my room. I have a monster jacket. I collect the can tabs. haha im weirdd.

Ewww...I can't stand Monster or pretty much any energy drink. The smell makes me nauseous. I can manage to drink red bull and vodka, tho.

If there's one thing these companies, Monster, AMP, Rockstar, are good at, it's marketing. They know their target segment, males 15-30, and are big into popular sports. X-Games and Auto Racing. In fact, I don't think there's a form of motorsport that doesn't have them involved. Everything from CORR stadium trucks, to NASCAR to drifting, to rally (GO BLOCK!)
I keep a pack of Monsters in the fridge. They help the morning after a party night

So a high caffeine drink relaxes you? I assume you are like high school age. Do you have any issues with your weight? I ask because caffeine has no effect on me either but if I smell food I gain weight. My metabolism sucks.

I've been addicted to them for the last 7-8 years since they came out back in 2003 (I think). I still have one every morning. I'm not a coffee person. I'm trying to ween myself off of them. Years past, I used to drink about 3-16oz cans a day durring the summer months. But then I got to the point where if I didn't have one on schedule then I would get a headache. Not sure if it's the caffine so much as it is the 56 grams of suger per 16oz can. I can only drink the origional green ones. The first time I had one I actually thought it was the worst thing I ever tasted. The second time was when we were working one hot summer day out in the middle of no where and my mouth was as dry as a desert and my co-worker offered me one. At that point I didn't care what it tasted like as long as it was wet. So at that point in time I thought it was the greatest thing I'd have had and it was on from then.

I HATE Monsters.
NOS is awesome though.
Not addicted at all though.
Maybe 1 or 2 every 2 months.
I also like red bulls.
I have a cup of coffee every morning.

nos is what makes me jumpy and hyper. I think its also the only thing. Venow tastes like salsa to me..ew...and rockstart is gross. Especially the rockstar cola. The can is cool but it tastes horible!

The only type of Energy drink I liked were those ones called No Fear, but I havnt seen them in a long time. I can tell I am getting older though cause now all I want is a coffee, black, with sugar. LOL

funny I found this thread, my wife was just telling me today about an ex-co-worker she ran into at the gym today. he's going to be 23 in a couple of months and he just had a heart attack. Turns out he drinks coffee in the AM before work and then a monster on the way to work and one for lunch and one or two after work.
23 years old and they are wanting to put him on a pacemaker.
I'm a chronic Pepsi drinker so it would be hypocrytical of me to say much, but I just never understood the whole energy drink kick.

I had issues with a irregular heat beat that started like 5 years ago. Cut out caffeine and the pain pills. Didn't make a difference. Ended up being a combination of not enough physical activity (I am disabled) and too much regular alcohol drinking. Used to have a couple drinks every evening, usually not even enough to catch a buzz. But a few months after quitting I noticed I wasn't having the heart beat issues any more. I am one of those people who can feel it when the beat is mildly off. I guess almost everyone has these episodes but never know it unless it is severe. What was funny is 3 different docs said they doubted the booze was the problem. They all thought caffeine was the most likely thing that would make a difference if anything.
