        I think the Monster Low Carb ( blue M ) is really good. It only has I think 6 grams of sugar in the 16oz can. Diet Rockstar and Sugar-free RedBull taste like ass in my opinion, but seems other people here like them. If you belong to Costco, you can get a 24 pack case of them for about $25.
        The only other sugar-free or low sugar energy drink I like is the SoBe Adreneline Rush.

       Low-Carb Monster is great with grape vodka for Grape Bombs too! ;D

       I remember reading in Flex, that 200-400g of caffeine should be taken 1-2 hours pre workout. Is that when you guys drink them? I usually just drink one on the way to the gym.

They’ll speed your metabolism, but if you’re training and eating sufficiently, no.
Energy drinks should not “burn” muscle.
They can help you burn fat if that’s your goal.

But you can also use them to intensify your workouts while “bulking” or even just maintaining.

Personally, I remember drinking the old ABB Speed Stacks that contained caffeine & ephedra. No cardio; and I made sure to eat.
Those were some awesome workouts, and I got some good gains doing this.

Crave Energy Drink is soon to be released.  It's a unique and revolutionary drink because it comes in the form of a powder, instead of in a can, so it's easy to add to your bottled water at the gym.  (Look at my avatar.)  It doesn't have that energy drink aftertaste either.  It doesn't have added caffeine (caffeine it does have comes from Guarana Root), it uses a small amount of low glycemic sugar, so it doesn't spike your insulin levels.  This also means you don't get a hard crash from it, and it lasts 4 - 6 hours.  Below are some details about other ingredients from Corporate:

"Crave has about the same amount of caffeine as a regular cup of coffee.  And, much less that what a Starbucks coffee has.  But, with the Vitamin "C", and the B6 & B12  Vitamins, as well as the Niacin and Pantothenic Acid and that unique and exclusive delievery system .... the Enzact77k®....as well as the Taurine, Guarana and Kolanut Extract.........all this combines to give an incredible boost in lasting energy without the crash and common headaches and nervousness associated with many energy drinks."

I'll keep you up to date, and let you know when you can order it.

and redbull is to small

I think there's a No Fear sugar free that tastes pretty decent.  Personally, I would prefer smaller cans since drinking a gallon+ water a day can get a little filling.  Those 5 hour energy shots are great.

Redline Extremes and Biotest's Spike are both great.  Everything else is shit.

sugar free rock star+ rock star zero carb+ sugar free no fear are all awesome energy drinks nutritionally. they have soem really great supplement additives; and they dont rely too heavily on caffiene either. which drinks like spike and redline do.

Diet Rockstar is the Sh#t...tastes like red cream soda.  But here is my question...what is the diff between Diet Rockstar and Rockstar no carb...they both have 0 carbs and calories I believe?
