Your dad secretly hates you.

black coffee

>>19105610
Fuck you cunt I'm trying to get into law school and have four research papers due on May 1st, not everyone is a NEET failure like you

gfuel with lots of ice
concentrated energy drinks are gross

>>19105626
Bro listen to me, as a person that walked the same road you are attempting. Don't fuck with those energy drinks. If you don't like coffee, I get it, but those energy drinks will wreck you. Just start drinking black coffee mixed with something you do like. Get good coffee beans and and grinder, and a french press. It will save you a ton of money that you will be wasting on garbage energy drinks. Nothing will get you through the grind "no pun intended" like coffee.

>>19105626
You're right who am I kidding. I can't just go into college and try to get a PhD I have never even set food in college. I should just try to get some job that can earn me a living. I'm already so far behind

>>19105609
Yellow can redbull

>You drink monsters? You know those are bad for you, right?
Why are the bad for you?
>Heh, uhm they have like loads of caffeine in them, that isn't good
But there is more caffeine in a cup of coffee than there is in a monster and everybody seems to be ok with that
>Yeah well, I read about this guy who died drinking like 30 monsters in 2 hours so...
Yeah that does sound pretty retarded Im not drinking that much
>yeah well I guess its your life, lol
Again I don't feel like they are bad for you

Monster superdry or Pipeline punch. If you want sugar free they recently made a zero sugar version of the original which actually isn't half bad.

I prefer espresso but Monster peach tea is pretty solid.

Just drink sparkling water.

>law school
Which TTT accepted a dipshit like you?
t.Iowa law, class of '05

>>19105609
You should try Spike if you can find it
Don't worry about the taste, and do drink half a can as directed

>>19105626
Shouldn't have waited to the last minute. Never going to make it with that work ethic. Drink water. Fast. It makes your brain work better.

Pro sipper here
Start with Monster, then try red bull. If you prefer red bull, give mother a try. If you think that's disgusting try Rock Star. If you like that then you're a degenerate.
I always recommend trying the original flavours first to get an idea of what the drink is trying to convey.
Don't drink more than one a day, and preferably have one in the afternoon after you eat lunch. Make sure you drink a lot of water and drink some water while you're sipping otherwise the acid will fuck your teeth eventually. Don't brush your teeth within 30 minutes of sipping.

I prefer a 1.5spm (sips per minute) because it gives you a nice 20 minute session or so. Anything less and it'll be too warm by the end and anything more you won't be enjoying it.

A standard 500ml can has ~150mg of caffeine. 100ml of coffee has 40mg of caffeine so coffee definitely has more. But the sugars and acidity of energy drinks really kill your teeth. You have to watch out for that

>>19105609
Don't.

>>19105609
Honestly it's just soda, pick any flavour you like. Monster and Red Bull original have the most unique taste to me, the sugar free ones tend to have a bad aspartame after taste so I avoid them, and the punch ones are fine and lightly carbonated so they are nice just still just juice.

>>19105609
Prime.

Every energy drink I have tried tastes like shit in a can. On top of feeling like you are about to have a heart attack. The b vitamin flush isn't pleasant either.

Prime at least tastes good, and even better you can half it with water (1:1 ratio) and it still is strong with full flavor. Which helps offset it's high cost.

Green Monster Energy (black original can) been enjoying it for 18 years

>>19105609
Diet Mountain Dew

I don't have pics on me but check your local grocer, I swear, more caffeine than regular mountain dew for some reason

>>19105982
They are bad for you because they are unregulated. This means the companies can dump shit in them that harms you and get away with it, and make outrageous claims while doing so. Just like rhino dick pills, you have no idea what you are truly getting in these cans.

The caffeine is fine, it is all the other shit that makes it bad. The caffeine just moves the stuff around faster. Some of them will feel like they are inducing heart attacks.

And this is on top of them all tasting like shit. At least soda fucking tastes good, these energy drink fucks put NO effort into flavor.

>>19105609
For me, it's Bing

>>19105609
I recommend smoking.

>>19106811
>unregulated
In what fucking country bro? Energy drinks are food, not dietary supplements.

Monster Rehab or Rockstar Recovery, two best ones on the market. Much smoother then anything else you can regularly find, and for me at least the caffeine seems to kick in much sooner. Don't let Rockstar's reputation deter you from trying the Recovery line, it's head and shoulders above anything else the brand makes. Not nearly as popular has they should be.

>>19106811

pretty sure monster is supposed to taste like a "dark" mountain dew, like a grown up version, or "rated-r" more intense

>>19105609
something like pic related, basically just whichever brand is the cheapest.

Here are some ones I've liked a lot:

>Monster Ultra (zero sugar) series
Ultra Paradise
Ultra Violet
Ultra Watermelon
Ultra Strawberry Dreams
Zero Ultra

>Monster Reserve series
Kiwi Strawberry
White Pineapple

>Rockstar Zero series
Watermelon Kiwi
Tangerine Mango Guava Strawberry

>Bang series
Star Blast
Wyldin' Watermelon

>Mountain Dew Energy series
Strawberry Melon Spark
Cherry Lime Lift
Pitch Black

>>19105609
Original Red bull is by far the best energydrink

Other good options are Monster Ultra White or Ultra Paradise

Blue razz bang

>>19110093
Based bang enjoyer

My personal favorites are as follows (in no particular order):

>Krazy Key Lime Pie
>Frose Rose
>Miami Cola
>Cherry Blade Lemonade
>Whole Lotta Chocolata (inb4)
>Raging Raspberry Hibiscus

>>19105609
One Red Bull a day is my daily sip.

I'll occasionally swap to Monster Juiced (yellow can pineapple one) or Monster Mango Loco for a day to switch things up. I really liked the purple can Rockstar but my local shop has been out of stock for months.

>>19106279
This guy has good advice. I would add that caffeine has a half life of 8 hours inside the body, so don't sip within the last 8 hours before you go to sleep.

I usually drink mine in the morning or lunchtime, never after work. If you sip at night time you'll destroy the quality of your sleep.

>>19110108
i tried a bunch i think cotton candy is still the best flavor

>>19105626

>>19105609
any caffeine aside from black coffee or tea is for fagoots

>>19105609

>>19105609
This seems to be a new drink.
I've tried mango and it's decent. Would be better if they had less generic names like Orange and Cool Blue

>energy drink
keep it cheap and healthy. Dollar tree sells bang energy drinks which are 0 calorie and have 300mg caffeine per can for $1.25 each.
That may be too much caffeine though

>>19111476
That's way too much. Mother has 150mg in a 500ml can

fuk yea POWER HORSE

>>19112562
150mg is about 1 cup of coffee

People drink tons more than that

>>19105609
Classic Red Bull is my go to, not a big fan of the overly sweet flavors.
Monster Aussie Lemonade is great stuff, but I think it messed up my guts after drinking it for awhile
ARIZONA ENERGY, not the big can but the small one is an amazing energy drink because its only $1 for a can, but it can be very hard to find as it has such a slim profit margin nobody wants to carry it.
Soda Stream actually has a few energy drink flavors that aren't bad if you don't mind making your own, will save boatloads of $

>>19105609
Java Monster

>Looking to pick up a new vice this spring

>>19107256
>Tangerine Mango Guava Strawberry
This shit powered me through many shifts in the mines (putting boxes on pallets at an Amazon sort center while periodically having 40lb boxes of batteries fall on my head bc people cannot into HEAVY BOXES ON THE BOTTOM). I can't drink it anymore, but I did enjoy it very much for a time.

>>19105609
big fan of these
200mg caffeine
no sugar, preservatives, corn syrup, or bull cum
packed with vitamins
4 packs are usually between $9-$10
great selection of flavors
Fuji/pear is the best, cola is the worst
usually have 1 in the morning, 1 after lunch
no jitters or caffeine anxiety

>>19105704
How did they wreck you? Lol. I drank a ton during a 5 year terrible salaried job stint and had a small phase in my early 20s. Never did shit to me. I do try not to have them tho, cause they're ofc not likely good for you. I don't think they wreck anything tho. Unless you're one of those weird weenies with a canary heart that explodes as you marathon Fortnite or w.e happens to those kids.
