Are Monster energy drinks bad for you?

Too much caffeine is bad no matter what it's coming form, but what exactly do you mean bad for you? I drink the normal ones and I'm fine.

I don't think they're any more dangerous than a can of soda? But as for those Cocaine energy drinks.

They taste like pepper... Cannot be good for the soul.
 
I know these one kids I think it was here were hospitalized after drinking a crazy amount of spike energy drinks.
 
Yeah they were all sorts of banned because they contained too much sugar? or caffeine? or maybe it was just cos it was called COCAINE. Who knows. They sucked ass. I'd rather pour alcohol in my eyes than pour that shit down my throat.
 
The can just looks nasty...

Burning sensation? Who wants that...

one of the spring valley energy drinks down here (called smart drinks (not to be confused with the original smart drink)) has a flavour which mixes a fruit (i forget which) with chilli. now, i don't like chilli, but i like the drink on the rare occasion. the high carbonation tickles your tongue and throat and then the chilli kinds stings the tickles. it's quite nifty.
 
Just curious if those blue Monster energy drinks(the ones have have low sugar and carbs) are still bad for you and in what respect?


Energy drinks are an interesting topic I wouldn't mind reading some studies on actually.

I drink far too much red bull.
It's worse now that they that come in 473mL cans, but I've just stopped buying them, it's ridiculous. I've already had two small cans today and it's not even lunchtime yet.
They even come in concentrated short form now in 30mL bottles, normally kept next to the registers in shops.


Red Eye platinum is my favourite energy drink and I've tried them all.


I had Monster for the first time yesterday actually, I had the blue can with the sub brand energy.
I think it had 160mg of caffeine and loads of crap.

I thought it tasted terrible.
Far too sweet and syrupy tasting for my liking.

IMO, I don't think any of these energy drinks could be good for you in anyway and there isn't really a middle ground here.
Water is the best option, but I average about 2.5L a day in drinking water anyway.
 
^i drink a tonne of water and chinese green tea and have to nip off several times to the dunny every day. regular piss breaks is a small price.
 
2.5L of water and you still have room for multiple energy drinks!!! how often do you go to the toilet dude!!!!

I probably piss about 6 or so times throughout the day, some days less and some more. I don't have a weak bladder either.

Water's good for you, I'd rather piss a little in excess than be lacking in water.
