Has to be something in it, working with the caffeine.  I've talked to other people that drink monsters and they say the same thing. Not the same as redbull or coffee.


I agree. I love coffee but this is like crystal meth. Not that I know what crystal meth is like.

Yeah. Had an arterial fibrillation due to alcohol. They gave me a cardiorevision. The joke is I had a night out with a group of guys doing coke all night long, I've never done it in my life and I'm the one having to go to hospital. Didn't even drink loads.

So since that I've not had a drop, cut out energy drinks and cleaned up my diet. It was a bit of a wake-up.

Too much alcohol is terrible on the ticker, you mix that with coke and it's a magnitude worse. You won't live long regularly doing this.

Glad to see you're OK! I'm going to celebrate with a rockstar. ;D

No way.  Maybe I was already overtired on occasions I had Red Bull but I was ready to rage out every time.  Coffee - fine.  Any amphetamine - fine.  Red Bull - Berzerker.

I'm starting to waste too much money on this bad habit - I buy the sugarless rockstar or monster now several times a day. My urine looks like it came from a nuclear power plant.

I don't even drink them for energy, I don't know, it's what it is to someone who smokes.

I let up on the "clean diet" cause you guys are a bad influence  ;D



The blue can sugar free Rockstars. One a day, after my afternoon nap at 1. Day starts at 4:30am and ends around 8pm. Need something in between.

About 10 years ago I was hooked on sugar free Rockstars, but it didn't last long, just a few weeks but it was a short intense addiction.

I can't do anymore than one a day. I'm real sensitive to stuff like that.

Damn, glad to hear you're ok. I used have a 2-3 glasses of wine a night and now I gave up alcohol completely after my BP started creeping back up.

I usually have one of them white Monsters (Monster Zero Ultra or whatever) every day. Sad thing is that I don't drink them for "energy" anymore, just addicted to the taste.  Gets expensive over time.

I take part of a caffeine pill with an energy drink to make up the 200mg of caffeine I need for my eca stack. I have them a few times a week when I get tired of just eating caffeine pills and/or coffee.

I like sugar free rockstar or monster, but they're insanely sweet. I used to like NOS but can't find the sugar free flavours any more.

Cheers. It's kinda funny, had nothing worse than the flu my whole adult life. Needed surgery in Nov, nearly died from sepsis after that. Then this. It's been a rough few months.

On the bright side I'm far more conscious of the shit I eat or drink and am getting in better shape.

do you have a giant scar?

Currently trying out the Celsius Heat drinks at the office - they are brand new, and pretty good

Our team here drinks VPX's Bang, ABB's Speed Shots and Speed Stacks - all pretty good.

Sadly, yes, caffeine is the main culprit, and many of us are addicted.  Not caffeine = headache

White and yellow sugar free monster.

Until 3 weeks ago when I had my heart restarted.
1 or 2 white monsters a day. It does become a habit.

Glad to see I'm not the only piece of shit here that love his white monsters (no homo).




Waller, that's some scary shit. Makes me want to go do some cardio today. Hope all stays well (homo).



Will have to try it, getbig approved?

Just Mt. Dew... Especially if it's half-frozen & slushy-like. :) hadnt had soda in like 2, maybe 3 months, though, until recently. Now drinkin ice cold non-caffine stuff since insomnia has been kickin my ass a 'lil lately.

Energy drinks taste like medicine-y, candy-water to me. Not a fan.

VPX should be illegal. It's like crack in a can.

Its so bad for your teeth the energy drinks. Packed with sugar ands caffeine, and 'something' else that makes it so addictive. I can just see someone drinking one and want one instantly, or even imagine the taste of it and instantly crave one. I rarely drink such things anymore though, but i used to drink them a lot.
